The Cytoscape user manual exists as a Microsoft Word file in:

cytoscape\user_docs

To modify the manual, edit the document in Microsoft Word and check it back in to CVS. Someone (maybe it will be you!) will create a PDF from this Word document near release time for distribution.

It would be nice to have a more cross-platform and manageable solution to user documentation. Mike Smoot suggested DocBook, though as of late 2005, it appears not to have a GUI editor, which is definitely a requirement for us. If you are aware of other options, let us know.
