I have attached a file called "koha_docs_structure" which contains an outline for all of the Koha documentation. This is _not_ the documentation itself, but a description of the structure that will be used to organize the documents. (If you have trouble with the attachment, you should be able to find this file on Sourceforge at http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/koha/koha-doc/ within the next few days.) The outline contains some words in brackets <Like This> that are names for document containers. Many of these containers simply hold other containers. Only the text that is not enclosed by brackets (for example, "Description in English") refers to an actual document. The goal is to have a place for every type of Koha-related document. If you have Koha-related documents that do not seem to have a place in the structure, please let me know. If you can think of some possible Koha-related documents that do not seem to have a place in the structure, please let me know. It is not intended that we have a document that matches every document described. But it is intended that every document that gets submitted can be easily "plugged in" to this document structure. I will be retrieving existing documents, such as Nicholas Rosasco's "Koha Manual," converting them to XML, and fitting them into this structure. All documents will be stored in XML format, but you can submit documents in any format that is comfortable for you. (XML was chosen as the format for storage because it is basic and can easily be converted to many other formats using a wide variety of tools.) I will also be looking through old e-mail messages for relevant information, and may contact some e-mail writers and ask that they expand their comments into a document that can be used as part of the Koha documentation. If you would like to submit a document, please include the following statement in the document: "This document is copyrighted (c) 2004 by <your name here>. Unless otherwise stated, Koha documents are copyrighted by their respective authors. Koha-related documents may be reproduced and distributed in whole or in part, in any medium physical or electronic, as long as this copyright notice is retained on all copies.

All comments or suggestions for improvement are welcome. --- Stephen Hedges Skemotah Solutions
