Hello all,
I've now discussed a possible contract (paid by HMN) with a technical 
writer here in Geneva. In addition to being very impressed by the 
flexibility of DHIS and the reasoning behind it, he expressed interest 
in working with this. I will now follow up internally here in HMN, but 
want to keep you updated on the progress.

We discussed if not a wiki-approach would be appropriate, where defining 
the structure (based on ToC) of the manual would be first step. He could 
then work on his preferred platform (word), and it could then be fed 
into different sections. For this, we would have a good framework for a) 
several languages (just do like wikipedia), and b) open, easy for us to 
add more stuff ourselves later.

There are supposed to be some tools for converting wikipages to pdf 
docs, which would be very useful if we go for this solution. Then, with 
a click of a button, you would get the manual based on the latest wiki 
content. We already have plenty of wikis to use for this purpose

Any comments appreciated.
Johan
