Re: Plone 3.2 User Manual Update

The manual could be divided into its sections, storing the versions of the
sections by Plone version applicability, then having one single user manual
with a menu choice of which version to view. The sections shown for a view
of the user manual would be a best fit for the requested version,
accordingly. With each Plone release, sections would need to be
marked/updated. This is really how it should be done. Advice and ideas are
appreciated. One attractive possibility is to maintain the user manual in
straight python and directories/docs/images on the filesystem.

I will, of course, coordinate with Sam and anyone else interested in the
user manual.
