Hey guys,

I am interested in your opinions on how we should structure Adium's  
documentation. This is a question I have been pondering over for some  
time but this has become more important since recently, two friendly  
chaps have expressed interest in helping with documentation. Mike  
Crilly already mailed the list about the Adium Book he is working on,  
the other guy would like to work on the Help pages as he has some HTML  
and CSS knowledge.

Peter Hosey once said
> I want less in the wiki and more in the manual. Long-term, anyway.  
> What's in the wiki, we should move to the Help, and then we just  
> link to the Help."

I agreed with that. My idea was to complete the documentation in (in- 
app) Help and only leave the following components on the Wiki:
- Development
- Directions on where to get support
- TroubleshootingTips
- Instructions on how to create Xtras
- Community links (cf. http://trac.adium.im/wiki).

However, of all these ideas, I like the Adium Book best. What do you  
guys think? Would we want to duplicate the information the book gives  
in Help? What information should stay on the Wiki? etc.
I'd appreciate your input.

Regards,
Robby
