Well I think the Doc idea is very neat (I was about to submit a request on this), and should be done ASAP (obviously with the help of non-developers - developers should have enough taks for now!), because once Code::Blocks becomes better and adds more functionality, then the docs will grow up...
Id like to see people opinion on the main format...
Anyway, whatever it might be, I think the starters would be:
1. Create a section-subsection map regarding every topic the docs should cover
2. Create a template for the subsections-sections and the articles itself - This should be done in the docs "main" format to decide yet
3. Agree in which should be the main "source" where documenters should modify/add new articles. From what I know, CVS can handle this, but it would be a pain for people with difficulties accesing the CVS repository, so the first idea is the Wiki
4. Assign someone (or maybe a couple people) to administer the docs, and create the main doc file (directly, or taking the docs from the wiki for example and converting them to the specified format) once its in a stable shape, ready for distribution.
Another thing that I think would be nice is to have images along the tutorials; this should be a plus for newbies who surely wouldnt loose themselves and would provide a more accurate description of whats being explained in a given doc
Notice there should be two kinds of formats:
- The main source format
- The main distribution format

For the second one, I think CHM is the best alternative, since it simply, rocks, besides, I think wxwidgets can handle CHM in Linux as well, amI right?
For the first one, we're yet to see, I think Latex is complicated and with the lack of a good WYSIWYG editor...
Just some thoughts, probably theyre worthless anyway
@mispunt: What did you mean? I was asking you about the problem you said you had "exporting" the wiki, what was that problem? :smile:
