But this should not go into Wine HQ. Stuff like this should be in the wiki not Wine HQ since it is not a published doc nor a page that is likely to be static (unchanging).
I think this ought to be published documentation.
Then it ought to be sgml not html ;^)
I dislike the implication that only unchanging text should go onto WineHQ.
I just think it makes sence to put things that will be changed manually fairly regularily on the wiki. when the janitorial page was on Wine HQ I had to first write a patch and submit it to Wine Patches then Jeremy had to get around to getting it applied. The amount if time it took me was not that great but it took a skill set that not everyone has and it now takes less time to do on the wiki. So I for one am glad it is there. It is still linked to from Wine HQ so as far as I can see It is a win-win.
Wikis are not the only way to write text, no matter what some people think.
Look there is nothing wrong with you writing whatever you want in any format you want, but if you want it included in wine then there is nothing wrong with it being published in the wiki rather than any other site.
At one time the FAQ was in HTML and published on another site when we brought it into Wine HQ I converted It over to SGML for inclusion in the official documentation. About 4 months ago all the sgml was taken out of the tree and put on source forge and is maintained in a separate tree. It may or may not make sense to move the FAQ to the wiki and that is the point. Stuff ends up is where it best fits.
