Re: [orca-list] Browsing Orca

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

Hi All:

Two quick things:

1) Jon is right -- there is no single maintainer for the WIKI.  It is by 
nature generally a community effort: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiki. 
 Like PBS the US, it's content is made possible through generous 
contributions from viewers like you.  :-)

2) We have a somewhat out-of-date architecture document written in 
DocBook.  It lives in the docs/doc-set/architecture.sgml file that is 
sucked in by the orca.sgml file in the same directory.  It should be 
easily pulled out into its own separate book.  See also the README in 
the same directory for more info on using DocBook.

I'd prefer that the DocBook version of the architecture document be the 
place to update things because I believe their is more structure in 
place in GNOME for translating DocBook stuff versus WIKIs.  Jason, I 
haven't read/processed all that you wrote yet, but I'd definitely be 
willing to take/review architecture.sgml updates from you if you're 
willing.  :-)
