+ + 2003 + 5 + The Linux Documentation Project + 2003-05-20 + TLDP Weekly News + + + +New documents + + Fresh@LDP + +New documents this week: + + + +After quite some struggle, here it is finally: the openMosix HOWTO, formerly known as the Mosix HOWTO, by Kris Buytaert. +An anonymous person wrote a document in Spanish explaining how to install the ICA Citrix client and use it with the popular Spanish PADRE program. Our colleagues from TLDP-ES made it available as the Padre-HOWTO. + + + + +Proposed new documents + + +Howard Shane sent in a proposal for a Scanner +HOWTO +Weldon Goree +proposed a HOWTO on what dual-booting and multi-booting are and +how to do them. + + + + + +Submitted for review + + +Daniel Nofftz's announced that his +Athlon +Powersaving HOWTO is ready for review. + + + + + + + +Updates + +HOWTOs + +After the problems were solved last week, a whole bunch of pending upgrades came through: + + +Anders Jensen-Urstad supplies us with v1.5 of the Game Server HOWTO and Peter Jay Salzman mailed v0.9.22 of the The Linux Gamers' HOWTO. +Alavoor Vasudevan sent in yet another update for the Kernel HOWTO, which is now at v5.7. He also moved the Vim Color Editor HOW-TO to DocBook. +The Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide v1.8, by Mendel Cooper. +Also by Peter Salzman: the Debian Jigdo mini-HOWTO. +Skip Rye worked on v1.8 of the Linux Optical Disk HOWTO. +Svetoslav Slavtchev, one of the new TLDP authors, send in the first update to the XFree Local Multi-User HOWTO. +Saqib Ali sent in the DocBook XML/SGML Processing Using OpenJade HOWTO, v2.2.5. + + + + + + + +Happenings in the LDP world + + +License on the LDP documents + +Colin Watson, who maintains the Debian packages for LDP documents sent +in a mail indicating that the old manifesto boilerplate license +used on a number of LDP documents was considered non-free by Debian +legal. He sent in the note that the Debian doc-linux-html and +doc-linux-text packages will use the GNU GPL, which is permitted by the +clause 2. David +Lawyer however noted +that It's only requested (not required) that the author be contacted in +case of modifications which may not render the license non-free. + + + + + +<literal>man</literal> pages + +Rahul Sundaram presented his opinion +on man pages. He said that they cater to the expert who already +knows what s/he is dealing with and provided a few examples. Antony E. +Greene said that there are two different needs addressed +by tutorial or step-by-step instructions like the HOWTOs and a terse, +but comprehensive man on info page. Howard Shane and Machtelt Garrels +were of the opinion that the LDP should offer its services to improve +the quality of man pages but that would be a difficult task with the +resources at the disposal of LDP. + + + + +While on the thread, Greg Ferguson asked if people would be interested in a collection of man pages (filtered to HTML via man2html; browseable, etc.) on the LDP site. + + + + +During the course of the discussion, jdd +wondered if there was some sort of a locate_doc that could +detect automatically all the documentation available for an +application. People suggested scrollkeeper and +dwww from +the Debian project. + + + + + + + +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. + + +
