There are two ways of looking at this, the first is to say let's just
|
|
get rid of the mini-HOWTOs and integrate them with the rest of the
|
|
documents. The other option (it seems to me) is to make the distinction
|
|
clearer. This would require that authors guide, with a set of criteria
|
|
for each type of document. The mini-HOWTOs aren't always specific as
|
|
they stand right now. Enough ranting from me, it's before 7 AM and I'm
|
|
not capable of writing english this early,
|
