Understood. How would I do that? I was thinking if the user manual was in the Wiki then it would be easy for users to edit and show up right away. Also, it would retain change history and such.

The user manual is maintained in source control in the calibre source tree. It is written in a simple wiki text like markup called restructured text. All the files are in the manual subdirectory of the calibre source tree. You can edit them and submit patches which I can merge.

See the development page in the calibre wiki for instructions on getting the calibre source.

Ah... you use that bazaar thing which is why I've never pulled down your code. I'll look into it.

new subject: calibre's LRF conversion defaults under "look & feel" and "page setup" tabs.
I have most of my books in a custom RTF format. I would like to convert these books to LRF so I don't lose the images when transferring to the Reader, also to take advantage of any speed or file size improvements. How do I shut off all the calibre default options so my formatting isn't changed? There should be a "convert as is" option - maybe one check box, or being able to set all values to zero.

Umm setting everythong to zero is not going to give you a file that looks like the original. You can set conversiondefaults by clicking the arrow next to the convert books button.
