She also indicated +that someone was working on a PHP based tool for the same and that the +the form idea, where a user could enter the relevant +document information and then proceed to fill in the blanks until the +document is complete is the secret of success. Greg Ferguson, however +felt that it would be clunky and said +that he was not sure how tables, code examples, graphics would +be handled and preferred the *easy* way of using a Sample-HOWTO.xml with +good old reliable vi. + + +Several people went on to discuss an alternative interface +and tools that might solve the problem of editing in LinuxDoc/DockBook. + + + + +Outage of LDP Services + +Several services of The LDP were affected because of hard drive +problems.
