Jonathan Leech-Pepin's texinfo exporter is really nice to work with.  At
the time I was working on orgmanual.org I thought the texinfo and pdf
output were superior to org.texi, but that was a personal preference and
is not meant to be a criticism of org.texi.

I ran out of steam on the project when Org mode moved to version 8.
There were very many changes to the manual at that time and it proved
difficult to keep up with the changes.  It might be possible to automate
the update process, but this is beyond the ability of someone with my
limited skills.  The manual process is a lot of error-prone work.

When I was working on the project I hoped the Org mode developers would
choose to "eat their own dog food" (as Carsten put it to me) and prepare
the texinfo and other documentation with Org mode source.  Of course,
that hope was based on considerable naivete and an imperfect
understanding of how Org mode is connected with the rest of the Emacs
world.

All the best,
Tom
