I have a simple question that related to valuable time (please no one flame me for asking):

Why are we all duplicating our efforts to accomplish the same goals?

We already have the KiXtart manual in HTML form. ScriptLogic maintains this conversion and offers it in a single file (compiled Microsoft CHM format).

If people want the manual online, in addition (or as an alternativ) to a downloadable compiled HTML version, it can be easily accomplished without a duplication of effort.

Remember, the folks at ScriptLogic had to first write the HTML pages before linking and compiling them. That means they already have them in a non-compiled form.

If the KiXtart manual is wanted online, then just ask them to publish it.

I believe that in the 3.6x days, ScriptLogic did post the manual online, and then it was snaked by someone, then released in a compiled form by that person. So, then ScriptLogic decided to compile it instead. Great theory, except that compiled html files can be decompiled and turned back into individual html pages (case and point of this can be found over at http://helpdesk.kixtart.org

What I'm saying is that since nothing is sacred, nor does it need to be -- simply try asking for what you want from someone that already did it.

Does this make any sense or am I way off base here in trying to coordinate efforts?
