+ + 2003 + 1 + The Linux Documentation Project + 2003-05-06 + TLDP Weekly News + + + +New documents + + Fresh@LDP + +One newcomer this week: + + + +Raheel Abdul Hameed published the Web Browsing Behind ISA Server HOWTO, which helps out Linux users who have to make their connections from behind a Windows-based ISA server. + + + + +Proposed new documents + + + +Jim Hamilton sent in a proposal to write a Boot from IDE RAID controller HOWTO or mini-HOWTO. We didn't see too much reaction on that, I bet this man is still waiting for some opinions. + +Another interesting idea came from Uday Bhaskar Sarma Seetamraju, who has started on a document on archiving file systems using CVS. + +David Lawyer has been breaking his head last week over the LDP Author Guide, which has got quite some critics because it is rather confusing. Here's David's one page replacement draft. + + + + + +Submitted for review + + +Ralf Spenneberg's IPsec HOWTO is now available for review at . + + + + + + +Updates + + +HOWTOs + + + +The VideoLAN HOWTO got updated, v1.6 now available from . The same authors also worked together on the updates of the VideoLAN Quickstart document. + +Eric S. Raymond sent in v1.2 of his Linksys Blue Box Router HOWTO, which you can check at . + +David lawyer worked on the Modem-HOWTO, which is now v0.27, and the Serial HOWTO, v2.18. + + + + + + +Guides + + + +Joy Goodreau, Kylie Smith and Christine Lorenz have been working on the EVMS User Guide, v2.0.0. + +Machtelt Garrels sent in the monthly updates for the Introduction to Linux guide. + +Our Spanish colleagues translated the 4.1 version of the Linux from Scratch guide. + + + + + + + +Happenings in the LDP world + + +Editorial Note: Due to unavoidable circumstances, The links in the +discussions point only to http://lists.tldp.org and not to the +archive mail link. + + +Comments on LDP Weekly News + + +Several people responded to the sample issue of LDP weekly news +suggesting that the news be released to LWN, newsforge and linux.com. Saqib Ali +talked about RSS feeds. + + + + +One-page replacement for LDP-Author-Guide +David Lawyer felt that the LDP-Author-Guide was too long and +intimidating for most people thinking of writing a HOWTO. He posted a +one page replacement for the +same. Greg Ferguson posted his +comments on the document. + +The thread petered out in a different direction when Torsten +Schlabach talked about +WYSIWYG editing tools for DocBook but David Lawyer said that people +would be turned off if they need to learn a new tool to write for the +LDP. jdd indicated that he was not very pleased by the switch from +LinuxDoc to DocBook upon which Greg Ferguson clarified that LDP still supports +LinuxDoc. + + + +Status of Lampadas +Derek Hans was wondering if Lampadas was still +officially being continued. Guylhem Aznar clarified that David Merrill started +a re-design of Lampadas because of serious issues it had. The last update on Lampadas was send in +by David long ago. Nicolas Chauvat said that even though there was some +work going on Lampadas using plone, David has not had time for it +during the last six months. + + + +HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs under one roof + Greg Ferguson wanted to find +out if there were any objections to merging the mini-HOWTOs into +the set of full HOWTOs. The structural boundaries (two sets of tar +files, different directory etc.) are to be removed but authors can still +use the term mini HOWTO in titles. People generally +agreed that the two sets of HOWTOs need to be merged into one and that +it would be easy for newbies to search for documentation. + + + + + +Feedback and Contributions + +Please help us create this weekly newsletter. Seen a site putting +in a story with a link to the LDP? Completed the translation of any +HOWTO? Know of any articles about the LDP published in newspapers or +magazines? We are curious ;-). You can help us by sending in links and +information at feedback@en.tldp.org. + +LDP Weekly News is edited by +Machtelt Garrels, Torsten Schlabach and Y Giridhar Appaji Nag +with help from several other people. + +
