I am not too sure to understand either just how the doc
workflow works.<br>
<br>
Can we translate the doc? can we help write it? can this
job be on a<br>
wiki? (so we can work on it step by step, from time to
time, alone or in<br>
a group of people). How can we improve the doc workflow,
in fact.<br>
</blockquote>

Anyone can translate the docs. Simply pull them out of their
location and edit away. Usually what I see people do on the
wiki, which makes sense, is to copy the original, then
stepwise work through the html file paragraph by paragraph,
leaving the tags other structure in place as you go.<br>
<br>
The structure of the docs directories and files is pretty
straightforward, as is the XML file that forms the index. I
have sent Christoph anything I make, since he has commit
rights and I don't.</blockquote>

<div>Do we need commit rights to edit an online doc file? Or to
submit a translation? My understanding of this is it’s tied to
the application only by a URL. Thus, in no way does that
affect the code. It’s a simple link to a website.</div>
</div>

<br></div>
You download the file from SVN, translate it, submit it to Christoph
so he can commit it.</div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>What do I do if I want to help write the file on the first place? </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">

<div>Can we turn this into a wikipedia-like way to go? If for
some reason someone makes an error and mixes things or deletes
some content, we have ways to return to the previous stage. I
see a lot of disadvantages at pulling out a file, edit away
and then pushing it back, while there are ways to work in a
collaborative (and sync) mode.</div>

We have SVN.. which contains the history of Scribus for (almost)
ever... <br>

I do not believe we have a nice way of extracting from a wiki to our
