<para>New HOWTO Generator</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Stein Gjoen announced the first release of the new HOWTO
|
|
Generator. The generator now uses the new set of categories determined
|
|
by Gerd Berget, allows up to 3 categories per document, uses CSS,
|
|
accessibility has been improved. Stein indicated that it is
|
|
sufficiently flexible that it allows for major rework of chapters with
|
|
little effort. The updates are available from <ulink
|
|
url="http://www.nyx.net/~sgjoen/tarpl.html" />. </para>

<para>LinuxWorld Expo BOF</para>

|
|
<para>Andy Oram told us that there will be a BOF on creating
|
|
documentation for Linux at the upcoming LinuxWorld Expo in San
|
|
Francisco; the BOF is on Wednesday, August 10th, from 5:15pm - 6:45pm.
|
|
It was set up and will be moderated by Don Marti, editor in chief of
|
|
Linux Journal. Andy indicated that it would be great to have someone
|
|
there who's deeply involved in day-to-day coordination of the LDP.
|
|
Edward Cherlin and Rick Moen indicated that they can both attend and
|
|
help run that event. </para>

<para>HOWTO re-licensing</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Pradeep Padala asked if his Ncurses Programming HOWTO can be
|
|
re-licensed under a different license so that it can be distributed
|
|
along with the official Ncurses package (maintained by Thomas Dickey).
|
|
Various people stepped in to answer his questions about licensing and
|
|
indicated that since he is the sole author of the document, he is free
|
|
to license it as he likes, but the original document that was licensed
|
|
under a different license will continue to be distributed under the same
|
|
license. Further, updated to the new licensed document will not
|
|
probably be available under the old license unless they are explicitly
|
|
licensed as such. </para>
