>Description:
The version of the handbook and FAQ that are available for download
on the ftp mirrors are old.  The FAQ is 6 months old, and the
handbook is 3 months old.  Perhaps there is a way that a new version
could be automatically rolled for the ftp mirrors at every release?
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to download the PDF handbook - it's from 3.1-RELEASE.
>Fix:
cd /foo
cvs checkout doc
cd doc/en/handbook
make
then copy them over to wcarchive...

 Known about.  I'm currently rolling them by hand when I remember to do 
 it.  I haven't invested any energy in automating this, because the 
 doc/ reorg will make the Makefile logic much simpler.  If enough people
 shout at me then I can work on it now.

 I just know some newbies on irc were complaining about it.  It would probably
 be nice to at least stay up with the current release by hand until the new
 organization allows for a more automated fashion of doing it.  That's only 3
 times a year you know. :)
