If this works, great, but I'm currently thinking that svn versioning for 
old manuals is not as important as having a good up-to-date manual.  My 
train of thought is that if we are going to edit XML actually should edit 
HTML+CSS.  Content management is the next logical step from there.

I've taken a look at the ExM Google site and done some editing for the 
JETS manual.  Pasting formatted content into the site does not work 
cleanly (on Firefox/Windows), and the controls report the wrong formatting 
(font sizes, etc.).  Versioning seems limited to going back in time for 
the given document.  Even so, I think we could get the current manual in 
there and looking decent in two or three days' work.  I'm curious what a 
completed high-quality publically available site might look like, does 
anyone know of one?  And if Google Docs is any indication, the service 
will probably improve over time.

I strongly feel we should make a firm decision at the concall this week 
and go from there.
