As Canon weren't making manuals freely available for older models
(and I think newer models too?), a group on the EOS list got
together and began a project to write their own, and to write
them better. The site's somewhere like 'eosdoc' or similar -
I'll have a look later. From memory it was a wiki-like thing.
They didn't copy the Canon manuals - they wrote it from the
ground up (to avoid the attentions of over-enthusiastic
corporate legal types)
Anyway, there's always that option - writing your/our own manuals,
for free distribution. Perhaps setting up a wiki somewhere
might be a go (if there is currently no general wiki site
for manuals, putting aside wikipedia for the time being). I
know my webhost provider (dreamhost) provides me with the
option to easily activate a wiki on my site. Perhaps something
along those lines (even with its own domain, like 'olywiki.net'
or similar?).
Just a thought, and we make them freely available as pdf's for
folks to email to each other to their heart's (and mind's)
content.
Cheers,
