Omnis on line help Manual 603 Information Only Need correcting

[brian.os at verizon.net]

   This was being discussed at EurOmnis. As I recall there was a small group   already taking action down the path of publishing the Omnis docs using Med   iaWiki... any news on that front? Would be an invaluable resource for the c   ommunity.

   Great concept - and = would be fab - but is there enough man hour capacity
   to undertake the proje= ct ?
   Is it something we could - collectively as a group of devel= opers - get
   started (by simply taking what’s already there in the pdf= ’s and
   saving to html pages) at least as a base point ?
   I d= on’t know maybe everyone picks a chapter to do ???
   That  way=  , we could all help Mitford so they can remain focussed on
   engineering and = not admin/housekeeping
.
   Just a wild idea ??!!
