Re: [xmlvm-users] XMLVM TODOs

[Sascha H. <sa...@xm...>]

Guys,

I converted the documentation we had at xmlvm.org/manual and
xmlvm.org/contribute to our Google site and added Leo, Keshan and Lennie to
the list of collaborators.

You can find the site here:
http://sites.google.com/a/xmlvm.org/documentation/
As soon as our website is back up again (sorry for the downtime!), I will
change it to contain this documentation instead of the HTML and PDF version
we have there right now.

My plan at the moment is to have to separate pages for "How to use XMLVM"
and "Developing XMLVM". Both are areas where documentation is important and
they target two different audiences.

Let me know if anybody else would like to contribute to the documentation
and I will add you.

Please be reasonable though. With great power comes great responsibility.
Let's discuss it on the mailing list first, before you make any significant
changes and follow the usual Wiki etiquette.

Thanks for all the volunteers!
// Sascha
