Description Harvey Muller 2006-05-25 08:37:25 UTC
First, a broad thanks to all that spend time creating Gentoo Documentation.

The general recommendation, is that a package or distfile be created for the entire set of Gentoo Documentation.  It is desired that they remain in their native xml format, to be viewed by links etc.  It could be autogenerated weekly, or as the documentation changes.

The real benefit, is those of us that are not connected to the internet for whatever reason, would be able to read to our hearts content, without having to:

1.  Destroy rainforests to continually print all the documentation
2.  Save and maintain each document as an .html file

The recommendation 'seems' more elegant.  Again, I for one thank all involved for providing all that great educational content.

p.s.  I did search for a similar suggestion, and did not find one.  I apologize in advance if this is a duplication.
