We're moving to a new documentation platform and this is your opportunity to give us feedback and help. There has been a huge amount of work going on behind the scenes on these over the past three months, including the 30 volunteers working within the Documentation User Group. It's now time to include the full community.
You can see a glimpse of the team's work in the betas of the new ArduPlane, ArduCopter and ArduRover sites. Click on the "Instructions" tab to see what the new manuals will look like.
Right now most of the work has been in creating new graphics and design elements to make the manuals easier to read and use, with some work on simplifying and updating the content. But because they're based on a Wiki-plugin for WordPress, it's also a much more powerful and flexible collaboration environment than the current Google Code wiki for community participation, and we can now take this opportunity to update and improve every page of the manual.
Just a reminder that these sites are still in beta, and we won't be steering users to them until the documentation team has had an opportunity to scrub every page. We'll continue to maintain the Google Code wikis for legacy purposes, but the new sites are designed to reflect the model we'll be moving to in the future.
Please give us feedback in this thread. If you'd like to participate, please join the Documentation User Group linked above.

I like the new format. I'm hoping that this could be put into a PDF format so I can take it to the field with me. Some of the places I go to fly don't have Internet access.
Have Revamped the text in the Safety Wiki Section quite a bit and added Roberts "throwing in the towel" tip.
So, check it out and see what you think Here: https://code.google.com/p/arducopter/wiki/AC2_Safety
Still needs a bit of editing and some illustrations, but I think at least most of what needs to be in there is in there.
Any thoughts or considerations appreciated.
Chris, is it easy enough to re-port the TradHeli stuff to the new site? A number of us did a whole lot of changes to the old wiki pages, not knowing that the new pages were actually being worked on. If you look the old pages have been almost completely revamped, with user submitted imagery as well.
