2005 35 The Linux Documentation Project 2005-09-28 The Linux Documentation Project Weekly News News in The LDP world Bash Guide Review Michael T Kerrisk took a look at the Bash Beginners Guide authored by Machtelt Garrels and said that it looked fine. Machtelt Garrels indicated that a review of the document would be good because she happens to be a non native English speaker. Benchmark-of-the-filesystems-HOWTO Svetoslav Chukov's Benchmark-of-the-filesystems-HOWTO was posted to the editors mailing list calling for volunteers to review the document. Pradeep Padala, the author or logfs, a log structured file system for Linux volunteered to look at the document and revert back in a couple of weeks. non-free documentation in Debian main Frank Lichtenheld sent a mail to the debian-devel-announce mailing list indicating how documentation in Debian's 'main' archive would be removed if it doesn't meet the Debian Free Software Guidelines. Things to do, dealing with non-free documentation in developers individual packages and filing bugs about non-free documentation has been covered in the announcement. Updated HOWTOs, FAQs and Guides Steven A sent in his update to the Linux Quake HOWTO. The document is not an exhaustive HOWTO of setting up any one Quake program, but a modern guide to GLQuake, a collection of the most useful tips, and a pointer to the best resources still available on the web - concentrating on the many engine re-writes and incredible add-ons which make Quake such a great game. Discussions on The LDP lists Status of the Linux-SAN Document Albretch Mueller asked what the status of the Linux-SAN HOWTO or Guide that was proposed in Apr 2004 was. Machtelt Garrels indicated that The LDP did not hear from the author. A document on the said topic would be a very valuable addition to the LDP collection.
