"_top">mini-HOWTO</a> about the GNU auto-tools, such as <b class="command">automake</b>, <b class="command">autoconf</b> and <b class="command">libtoolize</b>. His proposal was received very

positively.</span></li>

plans on adding C++, Perl and Java examples as well.</span></li>
|

<li><span class="rss:item">Machtelt Garrels wants to contribute a document called <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4790:200307:hlbjhhhgndppbpgjlhlo" target="_top">LDAP Operations

|

<p>Simon Anderson was <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4795:200307:oohajcenhkhogihndlam" target="_top">frustrated</a> with the LDP author guide and DocBook, and wondered why the LDP
|
|
used DocBook even though <span class="QUOTE">"Everyone reads HOWTOs in html anyway"</span>. In response Chris Karakas <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4833:200307:eiekdlajdgeofpemfdln"
|
|
target="_top">explained</a> why the separation of presentation of content from the content itself was important. Several people had <a href=
|
|
"http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4815:200307:pjodbfhkoeponcdaajjl" target="_top">suggestions</a> for Simon Anderson to deal with <a href=
|
|
"http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4829:200307:oohajcenhkhogihndlam" target="_top"> the problems</a> that he was facing. Tabatha also <a href=
|
|
"http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:4815:200307:pjodbfhkoeponcdaajjl" target="_top">mentioned</a> that the author guide was being reviewed and revamped by Emma Jane Hogbin.</p>
