> Hello,

> Recently, some developers wrote documentation about certain stuff related
to

> But this documentation was only placed on their own web servers.

> In my opinion, it would be better if such stuff would (also) be committed
to
> the "documentation" directory in SVN.
> Having documentation there makes sure that it does not get lost.
> Additionally, if the source file is committed (not a PDF or something like
> that), another person could extend the documentation further.
> I agree that not all documentary stuff needs to be on SVN. An example
might
> be Magnus' Win32k syscall tables.
> But for example Andrew Greenwood's documentation about the Windows
> Multimedia Subsystems looks like something, which should be committed in
my
> opinion.

> If you don't agree on committing this stuff, it would be nice if we could
at

SVN
> tree.
> >From what I see, most documentations were created by using OpenOffice, so
I

also
> supported by most word processors, thus most people should be able to open
> an ODT file.
> Up to now, I used RTF for formatted text documentations in SVN, but this
> format does not support things like shapes.
