Have you folks ever considered setting up your pMachine documentation in a weblog so that it was searchable? I can see that would be fairly simple to do on your site—not to distribute, of course. You could add notes as things come up which you could then use for revisions if it looked like a revision of your html version would be helpful.

Perhaps it could be incorporated into your knowledge blog.

The documentation is searchable.  Look at the upper-right of the manual.


As far as setting them up in a weblog… yes, that would be possible for the online version but as you said it wouldn’t be distributable.  That means that we (meaning I) would have to deal with two separate versions of the documentation and have to make sure that both were updated, revised, etc.  I’m afraid that isn’t really feasible.

You are right about dealing with separate versions—there should be a word in the language about the dangers of multiple versions.

It’s like the old saying goes—a man with a watch knows what time it is. A man with two watches is never sure.
