I don't hate Wiki's, on the contrary, but for Gentoo documentation I'd |
| 7 |
rather not use them: |

|

- It's webbased, meaning editing of documentation can only be done online. I |
| 10 |
personally edit documents offline frequently (my university has a lousy |
| 11 |
laptop/network policy) |
| 12 |
- We need to be able to convert the documentation to other formats (HTML, |
| 13 |
TXT, PDF alone for the LiveCDs); Wiki's are primarily used for online |
| 14 |
documentation (HTML) |
| 15 |
- We need to be able to monitor changes before they go live (we currently |
| 16 |
have an XML-Checker working on the CVS server that checks the validity of |
| 17 |
the document before committing) |

Bent Hindrup Andersen, Danish MEP, about the Software Patent Directive: |
| 24 |
The approach of the Commission and Council in this directive is shocking. |
| 25 |
They are making full use of all the possibilities of evading democracy that |
| 26 |
the current Community Law provides. <http://lwn.net/Articles/84009/> |
