IMHO removing the distincition it won't confuse anyone.
|
|
How is IP-Masquerade (mini) more specific thatn IPX-Howto (HOWTO).
|
|
Similarly Assembler is probably less important to many than LILO etc.
|
|
Whilst I see the original purpose of HOWTOs vs minis (which isn't bad)
|
|
the line
|
|
has long since blurred. It is now more a matter of personal perspective.
|
|
|
|
One thing you could do is something like stick to a single dir and use a
|
|
stricter naming scheme.
|
|
Eg: Networking might be the main (overview) howto and if someone has an
|
|
IP
|
|
specific topic it could be named: "Networking-IP-Masquerade" similaarly
|
|
an IP topic would be "Networking-IPX-blah"
|
|
|
|
Whilst the nasmes would be longer the topic areas would be clearer.
|
|
|
|
Of course this whole issue goes away once we agree on an Open Doc Env.
|
|
categorisation process (ode-discuss@oswg.org),
|
|
long file names like Networking-IP-Masquerade
|
|
are not really an issue.
|
|
|
|
|
|
regards
|
|
