That's a last minute change=2E=2E=2E :-/ I prefer DocumentationDePhpWiki,
because it's more the documentation of PhpWiki than a documentation in
PhpWiki style=2E

Yes, I've seen that parts of the previous french translation was really
informal, but the french speaking web remains vastly formal=2E In fact,
you can make very informal things with a formal style, like what I did
on my personal web site :

The application is formal (a program must be polite ! ;-), but people
will use it as they like=2E For instance on :
http://wiki=2Elinuxfr=2Eorg/
the translation is formal ("vous", 2e personne du pluriel), but the
users are *ABSOLUTELY* not formal %)  (in fact, some pages became pure
adult content :-/)=2E

And we're going to test it at work, for a quick and simple FAQ in our
intranet, at first=2E
