2003 4 The Linux Documentation Project 2003-05-13 Our Spanish colleagues announced the arrival of the fast guide to NewNAT (in Spanish), by Christian Conejero. Your comments are wanted on the GNU/Linux Conference Server HOWTO, by Franck Martin. Alavoor Vasudevan sent in v16.4 of the C-C++ Beautifier HOW-TO, v10.9 of the LILO Linux Crash Rescue HOW-TO and v5.7 of the The Linux Kernel HOWTO. He can now take a couple of days off :). Ricardo Alexandre Mattar submitted v1.1.0 of the Samba Authenticated Gateway HOWTO. The Game Server HOWTO by Anders Jensen-Urstad was updated to v1.5. The discussion on One-page replacement for LDP-Author-Guide took an interesting turn when Tabatha sent in her views regarding an online editor for LinuxDoc/DockBook. Her requirements include prompting user for tags and validating/processing the document at the backend. 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. Several services of The LDP were affected because of hard drive problems. The CVS was back later on Thursday (2003-05-08). Rahul Sundaram, who is the author of the LDP FAQ and the Deciding If Linux is right for you HOWTO, sent in a general update and requested feedback on the documents that he maintains. He proposes someone takes over the DOSEMU HOWTO and the Automount HOWTO. 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.
