I have actually been working on writing my own documentation for DA since the documentation that is provided is lacking a lot of information and some of the information is either outdated or invalid because of the changes in DA.

Sure, solutions to problems and how to configure DA can be found by searching the forums, searching the KB, searching the features list, etc., but having it in one place is so much simpler. At least I won't have to worry about tryng to find the information again if I ever need it.

Right now my documentation is in a huge Word document, but I'd like to eventually either build or purchase a system like RoboHelp or PublishExec so that I can put my documentation online.

Why not start a wiki? Seems to be suitable.

That might be an idea. However, at this time I have no experience with Wiki's, so I'm not sure if it would be what I was looking for or not. Thanks for the idea.

Jeremy,

Hav eyou ever looked at wikipedia? That's a wiki. Most of them look and work almost exactly the same.

http://www.wikipedia.org/

Yes, you can actually edit any article.

But be careful; people actually rely on it .

(I've edited a few, and my edits were allowed to stay, but only because I was correcting errrors where I was both knowledgeable and authoritative.)

I just can't believe people still complain about documentation. The ones that complain about documentation now would have never survived 10 years ago. But I guess those same people will be complaining 10 years into the future.
