[IAEP] Need To Know: How to get the latest Help Activity on Macs and PCs???

[Valerie Taylor]

Question - Wikis are designed for collaborative writing with history
and rollback. Would it be possible to have the "now-current" version
of the Help live in the Sugar Labs wiki where it can be worked on and
controlled?

It always makes me nervous when people are working on a "single"
document that can have lots of copies floating around in the workers'
personal working space. In a wiki world, everyone see the current
version, who made changes and what they did. When it is time to
package the Help into the zip for release, that version of the wiki
document can be noted and included, in case it is necessary to go back
to the "release" version.

Are there other considerations that necessitate the process you describe?
