collaborative documentation in pier

  Has anyone ever used Pier for collaborative documentation?

I realize a wiki is sorta that already, but I'm part of an IETF group
that is exploring options at the moment and I wonder if there were any
existing examples of Pier being used that way?


Thanks..

Lawson

Yes, for example books are being written using Pier.

Probably more, but these are the ones that come to my mind:

  http://book.pharo-project.org/

Thanks Lukas, I had thought of the book component just after I clicked send.


I know there's a latex printer. I assume there's a pdf printer as well?

I see mention of a text printer for page components. Does that keep
table, etc, formatting in some way, also?


IETF document requirements are extremely weird. It would be very kool if
Pier could be used to create online versions and then have them print
directly into the standard RFC format.

a potentially HUGE use for Pier

Yes, your LaTeX compiler is creating a PDF.

Very limited, but if you have a specific idea of how to represent the
formatting it is very easy to create a new subclass of
PRDocumentWriter.

That should be easily possible.

Is there a how-to for setting up a book component?

Just adding a book component to the menu doesn't seem to do much
automatically that I can see.

This is what we're using currently (VWRAP is a virtual worlds protocol
group for the IETF).

Seems to me that this functionality (and more) would be a useful
alternate default for Pier.

IETF is the Internet Engineering Task Force -the official internet RFC
guys.  http://www.ietf.org/ VWRAP is an ietf working group trying to
devise protocols to work across multiple virtual worlds, so avatars from
one virtual world can visit another with minimal complications.
