[postgis-devel] Making PostGIS documentation process easier

[Pierre Racine]

Hi all,

I know I will ennoy some people here but it seems to me that we would gain a lot by making the PostGIS documentation wiki style. We could benifit more from the community experience and be able to update it more quickly and frequently. What are the pros of keeping the documentation process that closed in the source tree in obscure XML comparing with open wiki pages? Seems to me that since the appearance of wikis, fixed, closed documentations are very much old fashion and look like death things. Right now I think only one person is maintaining the doc. We could be more if it would be easier.

I know one of the argument is that each release need its own documentation since updates apply only to certain releases but to me this is not incompatible with a wiki. We can have one versions of the doc per release still in wiki style.
