You got me completely wrong there. I *never* wanted to move the docs out
of the source tree. I want to trade the FAQ tool for a CMS that gives us
a FAQ for free plus the option to contain the static pages from
tigris.org, so that all the TortoiseSVN pages get the same look and
feel. Our FAQ is just a simple CMS, nothing else.

It's the other way round. I'd use the CMS only to display our docs (if
at all), not to edit them. I like the doc generation process as it is
now especially since we now got the translation procedure right.

What's so scary about 'a complete CMS'? If I run 'du -s' on both
installations, the CMS needs less diskspace than our current FAQ tool.
It's smaller than the FAQ -> it must be easier ;-)

Roughly ;-)

I honestly haven't spent any thought on these icons for quite a while. I
alwas need an idea from which I can start working.
