I have come up with some ideas. I have modified and included those into my original post. See the first post.

They look great. The only additional thing to mention is how we accomidate different versions of WWF. For example we would need to identify if an update was a correction to an existing document or reflected a change in version. We obviously don't want to be producing documention for 5 different versions.
I'm more than happy to help with the installation document.

I didn't quit get you. What do you mean by five different versions? Install docs and some admin functions differ slightly by different database versions of WWF.

Updates, critical fixes, minor version changes are beyond the scope of documentation i suppose as the contents in the docs will reflect the effective use and implementation of WWF. Say, if there were docs for v9.x, it could get updated with the release of v10. For the feature changes in minor versions, if there is any, we can all use the forum. If you want to contribute, please do so and post your contributions here for the rest of us to see.  We still didn't hear anything from the Magic Man. What's up?

Hi StartDust,
I meant which version of the software should we support. Although version 7 is no longer support, version 8 is and there are the sub version in between - I didn't phase my point very well, but you got the idea.
Therefore, the documentation will support only the latest version of the software.
I think a Wiki would probably be the best way forward, and allow easy updating and searching (there's nothing worse than reading a forum topic and finding the information at the beginning has been superceeded!)
As it's the weekend (and for once we have some sunshine in the UK!) I suspect Bruce is away from his computer at the moment - it would be good to get his thoughts on this before we proced to far.

I agree, a wiki would be far better.
As I don't want the download bloated with documentation i'll never read.

A wiki make things easier. I agree but can't help having a downloadable documentation.
If I have a documentation on my PC in PDF or DOC, I don't need to browse the net. Sometimes it is faster and easier.

I agree. We, by all means need bruce to agree and approve this to have it official. But unofficially i do not see any problem if someone creates something like the active dir integration instructions (see above). Doing so might make things easier for bruce. By any mean we need a documentation badly.

I think a PDF documentation or perhaps a website that can be more controlled than an open forum would be the best solution. I would assume the official side of it would be even more time consuming for a person who already has lots to do, but perhaps an "un-official" How This Is Done type of thing would be advantageous
