[Bf-docboard] Serious Issue: Versioning - Proposal

[Ewout Fernhout]

Hello Tobias,
What you propose will be a lot of work and only create a huge amount of 
outdated information. No matter in what way you work with versioning of 
the English manual (SVN, CVS or whatever other system), you will always 
stay behind the current state. The translation is a huge problem indeed, 
but as I stated before: the 2.5 manual won't be published in it's 
current form, and translators will have a huge job trying to keep up - 
such is life I'm afraid.

Like others said: whenever we decide the manual is 'ready', we will make 
a pdf version. If you want, you can sync the translated versions with 
those. Remember, the main goal of the docboard is taking care of the 
ENGLISH manual! It's nice to have translations, but like Stefano said 
before, we should focus on the english manual - making a versioning 
system for translations creates a lot more work, whereas there is enough 
things to do already!
