As it says on the tin, is there anyone out there willing to volunteer to help create the psi documentation?

There aren't really requirements to help writing the documentation, though it would be handy if you have a basic knowledge of the DocBook syntax. But that isn't necessary of course. Plain text is just as good.Quote by Kev on 07-10-2004, 08:34:As it says on the tin, is there anyone out there willing to volunteer to help create the psi documentation?

Maybe you have already written a Psi howto or a Psi manual? Post the link and maybe we'll use some of it!
Psi is already the best Jabberclient, now let's make it the best documented Jabberclient!!

Thank you, Clytie. Your help is much appreciated!Quote by Clytie on 09-06-2004, 04:05:I'm in the process of checking my translation of the online Psi help files, and I did add a few things to help that specific user group understand (cultural point of view, and details about Yahoo, which is widely used there). I'd be happy to write more documentation if that would help.
I write PDF files using pdfLaTeX.Quote by Kev on 09-06-2004, 12:43:I don't know many people (any) that write pdf files.
I've been known to fiddle with ps, but that's as far as it goes.
Have you ever used docbook? Or written a pdf file?

Then I use pdfLaTeX to create nice PDF filesQuote by Kev on 09-07-2004, 13:41:Then you don't write pdf files
"I write machine code using gcc"
Maybe kevstar has written a nice tool for WYSIWYG describing each part of Psi and destilling it directly to PDF? Who knows? Kevstar is such a small-talker (he might even used Smalltalk to code it)... :-pAnyway, my point was that, since he must have researched it thoroughly before suggesting alternatives, he knew that docbooks can end up as pdf, so therefore must have been suggesting we skip the docbook stage and code the pdf by hand.
