[Bf-docboard] Do we need a Blender Manual?

[Fade]

So if we didn't have a wiki manual, what would be the method of 
documentation?

I agree with kesten that the main issue in getting an up to date manual 
is Blender's development speed and that we're still trying to update the 
manual from 2.4, let alone properly document the new features of 2.6.

Short of a big influx of new contributors who will write/fix entire 
pages rather than just making minor corrections, I don't know a way to 
get everything up to speed. Switching away from the wiki style will 
probably just make it even harder to get people interested.

@jim: what sort of alternatives were you thinking of?
