Yes, but the edits are more manageable.  We are interested in the edits, not the navigation, right?  If people contribute documentation at the short-term expense of navigation, IMHO it's worth it.  When the documents start getting overwhelmingly large, the navigation will disappear as a cost of the longer pages.  Does the cost-benefit change when considered that way?  It would also be a walk in the park to have the documents aggregated in Cocoon and run through FOP to PDF for those that want to see it in a single document.  If they weren't considering this already as a part of Forrest, I would be *really* surprised.

I posted this to the Forrest list earlier today actually and they were very receptive.  My idea was that the edits are actually posted to the bug database (Scarab, if we/they are lucky enough to get that), as documentation bugs with a patch, so the comitter can take a look at it and approve it through the standard channel for that kind of thing.  It works well in a development environment because it unifies the workflow of the development process with the workflow of the documentation process.

Cool, I'll do that, thanks!
