Well, it is like this: right now I have some time, and wouldn't mind to use it
for taking care of the docs. But I don't have time to write or edit myself a
lot - this is why it would be a good solution to just let everyone just add
their notes, and maybe once a week try to put a new version together.

Like I said, I have time to edit- if people can contribute, I'll put it
together. I just don't have time to play with legOS.

I also confess that the docs are only half of my motivation: making a project
like this work is as much interesting and challenging. (this is one of the
reasons I want to give SourceForge a try...)

I too would like to try out SourceForge. The once catch is that we can't
host everything- I believe the windows binaries in particular cannot be
hosted there, as they include non-free code like InstallShield.

Luis:
Can you host CGI scripts and/or binaries on your machine?
Maybe we can share some of the administration tasks?

I really prefer not to do CGI's, because of the security implications of
poorly written ones. However, if you have something particular in mind, I
am pretty good with php and may be able to whip up a quick app.

Let's keep this dialogue going-

Luis, I noticed the HTML files for the current HowTo are generated with SGMLtools. Do you have any sources in SGML, or were those created from LaTex? Some SGML or XML format would be cool, for it can easily be exported to HTML, PDF, PS or others... (...) (25 years ago, 29-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
