Writing  something from  continuosly  changing web  page is  a
horror, is not it?

I do not think that cooperative  writing is the thing we need.
CVS is much better, we could eg. devide the whole tutorial for
people using  chapter, but  I cannot  imagine how  many people
could write one (currently empty) chapter from scratch.

The things will  change if we finish tutorial,  then wiki will
be helpful to allow comments from users.

CVS access  should be  granted to anyone,  because it  is very
safe  and people  cannot  abuse  it. But  of  course  it is  a
required step to use my rendering machine.


PS. Please move this topic only to grass-doc list :-)
