Re: [Firebird-docs] FbManager documentation

Paul,

P> Iirc you also wrote in FFmembers that once ready, the lightweight

P> means transfering the sources to the firebird project at SF?

well, I'm not writing code (though I am participating in the design)
so I can't speak for the developers, but they would be happy to make
the tool part of the Firebird project *and* continue to maintain it
(if the Firebird project accepts both the code and the developers, of
course). I don't know if the license and other bits are compatible,
though (not my field really).

P> wouldn't it be better to start an fbmanager (or fowl, or whatever)
P> module in firebird right away and develop it there?

OTTOMH I can't see why not. I have just forwarded your idea to
fbmanager-devel.

P> I don't know how much you know already about the manual setup

close to nothing, but I will be traveling in the next few days and I
have downloaded the docs I need to read...

P> we have all the documents in one DocBook <set>. One of the advantages is

P> The best approach IMO is to make a separate <book> for the fbmanager
P> documentation.

OK, so it would be a <book> and that <book> will be part of the whole
<set>. Sounds right.

P> You can find the most recent version of the Howtos at the doc
P> subproject homepage:

P>   http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=devel&sub=doc

I'll be offline, so I've downloaded Darcy's pdf for the time being.
I hope it's enough for a start.

Ciao
