Marek and Jack,

Is there a way to index PDF documents like we do with the meta-tags for 
HTML files?

Vincent,

I think this document is a cool thing. Maybe we could create a directory 
in kb for such contributions and then have static links to those PDFs 
from the main Docs and Support page.

The main potential problem I see is that the docs could go out of date 
and we wouldn't have the source to update them. I don't see a problem 
with your docs, per se (you've been with us for something like 4 
years!), but we should think about general processes for this kind of 
contribution since sometimes contributors do not remain active and 
maintain their docs.
