Well, I don't know... Of course, having dead links

but I don't know if anyone would do this.
I'd rather people contribute to xwiki.org. It's open for anyone to help.
Because of its own space, I wouldn't mind
"messing up" my
installation - a later removal would be possible too.
I can work with either options. Choose the one you think more
people would use or the one which is less work.
Ok thanks. Will do some experimentations as I haven't tried the multi
page PDF export yet.

Thanks for your fast reply!!
I think a pdf-version would be better for print, while working on my
instance I'd prefer an xar.
I'd like to better understand this.
IMO a XAR is less usable because:
1) it requires you to install it in your wiki and you usually don't
want to have a xwiki user guide in your own wiki as your wiki is
not about xwiki (usually :))
2) it's harder because you need to navigate/open other windows
because you'll be working on one page while you'll need to check
the user guide at the same time
3) Beware that the user guide has external links to other parts of
xwiki.org which will lead to non-existing page when we export it
(like links to the Code Zone for example).
OTOH, having a XAR is nice if you want to provide a user guide on,
your own wiki for your users. Only issue is that it'll be a generic
user guide and not a user guide adapted to your own usage of XWiki.
WDYT?
Thanks
