There's only Texinfo. Look at texi/Makefile to see how the other versions are produced. TL> How do we properly attribute the previous contributors?

(With my mind set to TL> Wikipedia mode, I'm a bit overcautious in this regard :-).) I'm not sure what gnus.cvs.sourceforge.net has. The Gnus CVS repo we used for the Git import had texi/gnus-faq.texi with what seems like a reasonable VC log. Considering the age of the FAQ, we should either clean it up or move it to be part of the manual IMHO. Ted
