What is the status of the Hugs 98 User Manual? Can it be updated?
Its author prefers not to give up the sources to it, so a rewrite would be the proper thing to do. It's been a ToDo item for quite a while.. So, if anyone's got the enthusiasm, docs/ is the subdirectory to commit stuff into :-)
Well it's out there as a bunch of web pages, but you're saying those can't be altered to make a new version, right?
..and pdf, chm & dvi. Yes, I don't think it would be right to create derivative versions of any of these (hence the .txt files in docs/).
OK, that was the sense of "can't" that I meant. I think it would be useful to stitch together docs/*.txt, the bugs web page and other assorted snippets as the start of a new user's guide we can present in multiple formats. It can omit the parts that haven't changed much, pointing at the old manual. What source format would you prefer?
