[Bf-docboard] Plans for the Future

Wiki looks actually *much* better online. I don't know about printable, this
is something to check. And also the possibility of a big archive to check
offline is vital. These are the points we must  evaluate :)

I agree, but wiki is something like CVS, completely online, references etc.
are something we must investigate, but there are already books online using
wiki :)

Sadly it does not look like there is some 'makefile' thingie for docbook,
recompiling only differences...

Anyhow... I'm just in need of feedback!

Thanx again
