Hello, Paul<br><br>
LaTeX will definitely be used. I was thinking more of what to use on top
of LaTeX. I have quite a few choices, including some of my own LaTeX
based systems. I'm afraid the original sources aren't currently
available. I won't have too much trouble ripping the text and images out
of the pdfs. In any case, all the current manuals have to be integrated
together, and that will mean reformatting the lot anyway. If anyone has a
good system to reproduce the graphics, I'd like to hear about it.
Otherwise I'll use the existing ones until I can do better. <br><br>
When the time comes, I'll ask for volunteer reviewers. <br><br>

LaTeX. You can get</font><br>

<br>
<font size=2>Do you have access to the original documentation sources

<dd>Subject:</b> [OSRS-PROJ] Proj4 documentation<br><br>
<dd>Hello, <br><br>
<dd>With Frank Warmerdam's kind permission, and after some email exchanges with Gerald Evenden, I have volunteered to take over the documentation for Proj4. Sadly, this does not mean there will be a new manual tomorrow, or even the next day. It will take me some time to gather and integrate all the current information. With a little luck, I hope to have something in place by the fall. The new documentation sources will be placed in the proj4 cvs, and will therefore be accessible to everyone. The intent is to produce pdf output, probably html, and possibly xml. The exact toolset that will be used is not definite yet. I am not planning any translations from English at this point. You will be welcome and even encouraged to volunteer to translate once the originals are in CVS.
<dd>I welcome all your suggestions, comments, etc. Please email me at the address below or email this list, clearly indicating in the subject line that your message is for the proj4 documentation. Please don't mix documentation comments with other types of comments, I may miss them in that case. <br><br>
<dd>Thanks very much,<br><br>
<dd>Mike<br><br>
