What to put in handbook and what on wiki

HandBook

• complete tutorial-like documents
• group links to ERP5 wiki with descriptions - readers shall be lead
• might be less precise, little inadequate - concentrate on what reader shall understand and not on details - this is wiki work

Wiki

• everything what is ERP5's wiki like - look how wiki looks right now
• various HowTos, Technical Notes, etc.

Handbook and wiki synchronisation

There is possibility that some information will start to duplicate on wiki and handbook. Then some decision shall be made - if it is on wiki, and is not so technical, propose to move it into handbook. If it is on handbook and it is to technical - create/reference to proper wiki page.

Decision shall be made by humans.
