Nice summary page Kyle - thanks.  The overwhelming point you made is 
that "we are the editors."  I've got the lead for this cycle and  I 
think once the core framework is in place it's a relatively easy process 
to update.  Doctemplate seems to be a good solution right now and I like 
the images and localisation options.  As much as I'd personally prefer 
straight html, doctemplate already has the tools to output to various 
formats and handle the images.

Speaking of screenshots and images I think it's worth having the 
images/screenshots locally instead of using the process used by the 
manual team.  Any other thoughts on screenshots?

thanks all,

Belinda
