[FOSS-GPS] FoxtrotGPS documentation (format? license?)

[Dr. Tilmann Bubeck]

David,
Joshua,

the tool: well, you compare texinfo and asciidoc. At the end its a 
personal taste, what tool to prefer. I think, they both have advantages 
and disadvantages and are very similar.

AsciiDoc is a little more less "markup", than texinfo is. Therefore the 
source is a little bit more readable. On the other hand, the tool chain 
for texinfo is much more stable and robust and a well-proven path.

As Joshua is the main responsible person behind foxtrotgps I tend to let 
him decide and he seems to prefer texinfo. That is absolutely fine to me.

So I propose to use texinfo.

The license stuff: You propose CC-BY-SA 3.0 which is fine for Fedora 
(and probably most others). Fedora declares this as "good" on their 
license page:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#Good_Licenses_2

This is also true for GNU FDL.

So I support Joshuas proposal: texinfo + CC-BY-SA 3.0

The most important part for me was to get a manual into foxtrotgps which 
is more than manual page/readme. I am happy to see this being discussed 
now and even more, being decided and done. I offer my help for whichever 
system gets selected.

:-)

Kind regards,
   Till
