Dimi (et al)
I guess I could do B.2; Move CVS Docu from User Guide to Devel guide. Before doing so, though, I just want to check what that means.
I presume that this means moving the "Getting Wine Source code from CVS" section.
I wonder if that is exactly what we want. Are we trying to avoid scaring beginners and non-programmers?
If we basically mean that the user Guide will not talk about getting the source and compiling it on your own machine then we might as well also move "Getting Wine Source Code from the FTP archive" and "Upgrading Wine with a patch"
If we basically mean that we suggest that the user be able to build from source but only from the FTP archive versions then do we really need the "Upgrading Wine with a patch"
If we support the user being able to build from source but don't want to scare them then all we need to do is drop the talk about changing the code and diffing (and maybe adding a little more hand-holding to the cvs section a la dummies guide).
Also if we go towards the "build from source" we are going to have to address little issues like the tendency not to install the compiler these days.
My suggestion is that, since we are talking about fairly stable releases, we ought to move all the sections concerned with building from source.
Guidance please.

I think so. User Guide should all about how you use Wine, not how you develop it, build it, etc. We should just add a small note to the User Guide pointing people to the other guide, if interested in building from source.
You're on.

just so everyone knows, since I am working on updating the docu, please dont move anything until I have it all updated and ready to go ;) Otherwise I may get confused and lose track of where I was working last. Unless you want to move it first and then I can go through and update as I see fit.
