Re: gEDA-user: PCB doc on wiki (was RE: Vias with zero clearance in PCB?)

["Phil Taylor" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

There are three forms of documentation:
--tutorials (crucial, e.g. gschem 2 pcb by Bill Wilson)
--faq's (the pcb-tips wiki)
--manual (deep documentation of pcb)

The tutorials we have now are good--but they are somewhat closed source in
that the group doesn't own them.  There should be a wiki section for
tutorials.

The faq "geda:pcb_tips" is moving ahead perfectly.  It's the source for
answers when you have a question.  It also addresses short-term issues.

A manual could be written thru a wiki to allow real-time improvements and the
contributions of a lot of authors.  The developers would be the best people to
administer this. BUT, it's as simple as setting up a new wiki for it and
letting interested users take a crack at it.  Do people want this?  Should it
be on geda's shoulders (the geda site) or on a different PCB only site?

Best, Phil
