I'm not talking about an one time script... I'm talking about the place
where the documentation should be maintained.
The programmers must accept/decide how/where the kernel will be
documentet... and I remember many people said that it is essential to
keep documentation where the source is ;) That's also my point of view.
If we can keep documents (in their current form) in the kernel - that's
good. That means we don't need to import into the wiki, export them,
convert them, place them into the release... We could simple take the
up-to-date docs from freemint trunk ;)
Importing these docs to the wiki is another part of the documentation
process then... (not that much work).
I vote for docs integrated into the sources.
