1. Procedure for archived docs (criteria: "those docs no longer relevant to modern linux systems")
|
|
- Docs are moved to
|
|
http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/unmaintained/
|
|
A note is added to the front page which approximately reads:
|
|
Archived - Last Update: YYYY-MM-DD.
|
|
Further information can be found at: URL.
|
|
|
|
- unmaintained the directory: archived/deleted, if not also in the
|
|
"unmaintained list" documents are no longer relevant and should not
|
|
be updated. Any document in this directory should be marked as, "out
|
|
of date, reader beware."
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Procedure for unmaintained docs
|
|
- Any document which has not been modified in more than a year should be
|
|
considered out of date. Out of date documents should be checked to see if
|
|
they are (1) unmaintained, or (2) to be archived.
|
|
- Author must be contacted to see if there is a more up-to-date version of
|
|
the document. The author should be given one to two weeks to respond.
|
|
- If the author does not respond and the document is deemed "irrelevant"
|
|
it should be either archived or removed from the collection as
|
|
appropriate.
|
|
|
|
- unmaintained the list: out of date, but still relevant. Please help.
|
|
If content is so desperately out of date that it is "harmful" to the
|
|
reader, the document itself may live in "unmaintained the directory"
|
|
until a new maintainer is found.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Procedure for removal
|
|
- removed for review. Document is removed from the collection and a note
|
|
is added stating: why the document was removed, what the approximate
|
|
return date is, and where people can find information about the topic in
|
|
the mean time.
|
|
|
|
removed at request of author. Document is removed from the collection (and
|
|
deleted from the CVS tree--copy will be archived in the Attic). A note
|
|
should be added to the CVS tree, and the public web site which is plain HTML
|
|
and states:
|
|
- the title of the document which was removed
|
|
- why the document was removed (request of the author)
|
|
- where readers can go to find more information about this topic.
|
|
|
|
removed because doc is just plain pathetic. Document is removed from the
|
|
collection (and deleted from the CVS tree--copy will be archived in the
|
|
Attic). A note should be added to the CVS tree, and public web site, which
|
|
is plain HTML and states:
|
|
- the title of the document that was removed
|
|
- why the document was removed (e.g. did not pass Techical Review)
|
|
- where readers can go to find more information about this topic
|
|
- whether or not we are looking for a replacement document.
|
|
|
|
