publishing system, we'll have to decide if we want to republish
_everything_.
Since I'm a little out of touch with Docs myself these days... What
are the group members' opinions on publishing whole books, vs. looking
at innovative ways to publish and maintain smaller content chunks?
This latter is a goal FPL Matthew Miller has been talking about of
late. Is the Docs team large enough to do both well?
It seems like publishing the currently maintained versions, plus the
release under development, plus the most recently EOL'd release, should
be enough. Early adopters are covered, stragglers are covered for
their upgrade, stubborn EOL users get the appropriate amount of support,
and nobody gets really stale, potentially incorrect or harmful
instructions. I'm throwing this on the agenda to discuss at the next
meeting, if you can't make it, please reply here.
