Re: Docs site - changes not propagating; search broken

what if we used a suitably prepared Textpattern install as the starting point, and then manually entered each article?
Interesting. Getting stuff into Txp is relatively easy. No point doing it manually when a five line shell script can iterate through the entire current docs site and convert it to Textile for us.
Hacking out the repetitive parts of the tag docs and separating them is slightly more manual.
The hard part of the equation, though, is maintaining it. Running the docs from a static site with only a couple of core contributors is fine but for community docs, they need community involvement. And for that, as Pete says, we need a public change control repo which can do the heavy lifting back into the database.
Thus we need some way to have the files in a format that people can easily edit. But Txp needs to consume content automatically in a more machine-ready format.
Since we need this conversion process to take place anyway on a daily, hourly, whateverly basis, we might as well do the same thing to prepare the content in the first place. Hence the lowest common denominator is Markdown + some script to convert it ready for Txp to eat up.
