Hi all,
My first post, sorry if I haven't lurked long enough to learn any posting
protocols. If it matters, I'm an OS X user...

One of the reasons that earlier wiki's weren't a big success could be that
people do not want another place to look for documentation. Therefore the best
solution (in my opinion) is to replace the current docs with a wiki. I think
the way the documentation is done now is a little bit oldfashioned.

What about people like me who write music on a computer that is NOT attached to
the Internet?
I personally like a two-pronged approach - I prefer core documentation (the
"reference manual") to be in the form of a local pdf file that I can either
view or print as needed. I think that core documentation should be a mirror of
what is available on the web site, with each document assigned a revision
number and a date, preferably matching major software revisions. The second
"prong" of my approach would be to have some kind of less formal web-based
information (the "user guide"?) with tips and tricks, FAQs, and/or lessons...
