Hi all,
I submit this message here for discussion.
I'm not completely in favour of the following ideas, for maintenance reasons,
but they are at least worth discussing them.
(to Andreas : thanks for your contribution ! We'll see what comes out of it.)

Subject: RFC: include SGML-/Snapshot-links in docs

Dear Eric
As you seem to be involved in the KDE documentation (you post
doc-related stuff to kde-devel), let me propose two modifications to the
structure of the documents.
- Include a link to the sgml file of a document
The reason is this: First, if a document is split up in numerous
html-files, it's a real pain printing it. If there would be a link, one
could just download the sgml-file, convert it to PS and print it. It
would also help reducing phone bills, because getting one sgml-files is
easier then getting all html-files..
- Include a link to the latest snapshot of the program documented.
I know that KDE is working with CVS, but I spent hours trying to figure
out where to get one and only program (which tar ball? which
directory?). It would also be confinend, if there was a possibility to
download just the files needed (say kppp) than the whole tar ball
(kdenetworks). An automatic check out from the CVS-server would be
handy. But there should at least be a _working_ link to the latest
snapshot.
If this could be made standard, this would help improving the
user-friendlyness of KDE, reduce the noise to KDE mailing lists and help
getting new users/hackers involved. It would be in the interest of all,
to somehow force people writing docs/programs to stick to this.
Example:

May be, your not the right person to decide this, but I'm sure you know
who is.
