There are advantages and disadvantages of both solutions, but I think
it's important to agree on one. If not, we're duplicating work and we
end up with fragmented docs.

If that's because of the wiki itself then this is a valid point. But I'm
not so sure if this is the case. I didn't see any docs in any other
format created during that time either ;-)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Export

But that's not very helpful right away. Someone who knows XML needs to
write a script/program to transform these exported articles to e.g. UDO
source format. Paul? We talked about this seven months ago.
