<h2>About the LDP</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Linux Documentation Project is developing free, high quality documentation
|
|
for the GNU/Linux operating system. This includes the creation of HOWTOs and Guides,
|
|
and collaboration with other documentation groups.
|
|
|
|
<p>If you've always wanted to help Linux reach
|
|
Total World Domination(tm), but you're not a programmer,
|
|
there's still something you can do. Help the LDP!
|
|
|
|
<p>The LDP keeps a page of resources for authors at
|
|
<a href="http://www.linuxdoc.org/authors/">http://www.linuxdoc.org/authors/</a>.
|
|
Contributions are always welcome.
|
|
|

<h2>LDP Database</h2>
|
|
|
|
The LDP Document Database has moved to a new server and a new URL,
|
|
<a href="http://db.linuxdoc.org">db.linuxdoc.org</a>.
|
|
The database is primarily designed
|
|
as a resource for authors, editors, and volunteers at the LDP.
|
|
It holds extended metadata on each document as well as a history
|
|
of issues that have been dealt with.
|
|
|
|
<p>All authors of LDP HOWTOS and other LDP documents are strongly
|
|
encouraged to get an account in our database, or just log in using
|
|
the provided guest account, to make sure our information is correct,
|
|
and that we have the latest version of their documents.
|
|
|
|
<p>Volunteers are always needed to help maintain our collection.
|
|
The database helps make the work a bit easier and more coordinated.
|
|
We serve 412 documents, and we add an average of about 2 per week,
|
|
so making management easy is a big priority.
|
|
|
|
<h2>ScrollServer 0.6</h2>
|
|
|
|
<a href="http://www.scrollserver.org">ScrollServer</a> is a
|
|
<a href="http://www.python.org">Python</a> based HTTP server that
|
|
allows you to view documentation that is registered in a
|
|
<a href="http://scrollkeeper.sourceforge.net">ScrollKeeper</a>
|
|
database.
|
|
|
|
<p>Version 0.6 is a development release, but is fairly stable and
|
|
is quite usable. The biggest shortcoming right now is that few packages
|
|
are registering their documentation in the ScrollKeeper database. Since
|
|
both Gnome and KDE are using ScrollKeeper as their repository in their
|
|
future help browsers, however, I highly recommend that packagers
|
|
register their program's docs with ScrollKeeper.
|
|
|
|
<p>Please feel free to test it out, and report bugs to
|
|
David Merrill at david -AT- lupercalia.net, or on the
|
|
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/scrollserver">SourceForge project page</a>.
