Here's a quick sum up of this week discussions.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
We need volunteers for any new task or project.
|
|
|
|
As Greg said, there's no longer a core team, we are just volunteers.
|
|
|
|
If someone can host howto-author.linuxdoc.org and set up
|
|
sendmail/qmail/anything accordingly (for ex
|
|
uucp@howto-author.linuxdoc.org pointing to me), nobody will complain
|
|
about this new possibility.
|
|
|
|
|
|
* News:
|
|
|
|
- A call for volunteers will be posted in cola (Stern can you do that I
|
|
should I post it)
|
|
|
|
- I'm no longer the DocBook coordinator, Jorge Godoy
|
|
<godoy@conectiva.com.br> is now in charge of that, with Greg help.
|
|
|
|
He has plans to provide current HOWTOs in DocBook for ppl needing that,
|
|
which would allow the sgml versions and the DocBook versions to coexist
|
|
for a while.
|
|
|
|
We will also open a DocBook section on the web site to host non-HOWTO
|
|
DocBook documents submitted, and therefore adverstise we now fully
|
|
support DocBook.
|
|
|
|
Jorge will explain his plans on the list.
|
|
|
|
- The LDP should officially come to Linux Expo Canada in Montreal, QC
|
|
from Apr 10 to Apr 12, thanks to Mandrake Software and Andrea Roy
|
|
from Skyevents
|
|
|
|
David Lawyer, myself and maybe Alessandro Rubini will come.
|
|
|
|
We will have a booth next to the LUGs and the FSF and may give a
|
|
conference.
|
|
|
|
We'll explain what is the LDP, free documentation, documentation
|
|
licenses... and maybe find volunteers.
|
|
|
|
This will cost nothing to the LDP ; BTW please come and meet us if you
|
|
can.
|
|
|
|
* Important tasks:
|
|
|
|
- We should "advertise" on the web site something like "Please contact
|
|
the authors if you think the document could be improved. We love
|
|
feedback".
|
|
|
|
Joshua, could you please do this?
|
|
|
|
A gif/jpg file with text comment for lynx users might help ; we could
|
|
also use it to announce other important news (ala freshmeat banners for
|
|
open source projects)
|
|
|
|
BTW, could somone get in touch with this open source project banner to
|
|
update the LDP banner with the new logo and someting like "We need
|
|
volunteers"?
|
|
|
|
- I still have many complains about non-english documents.
|
|
|
|
We must provide an evident link in the main page, many ppl don't find
|
|
where the link is and what it means.
|
|
|
|
Greg could you please add it?
|
|
|
|
- Tracking documents and automatic processing is now a major concern.
|
|
|
|
While we have a peer review, a submit mailing lists, scripts to process
|
|
the documents (...) we still have very important lacks.
|
|
|
|
The documents should be processed automatically 2 days after being
|
|
received on ldp-submit (with a mail bot?), tracked automatically
|
|
(version number, date), and maintained/unmaintained status should also
|
|
be automatized.
|
|
Is there some software doing that or should we write it from scratch?
|
|
Who could set up this system ??
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are many projets, but to fulfill these projects we need volunteers.
|
|
|
|
If no one ever volunteers, of if the same overworked persons always
|
|
volunteer, the work will never be done (and you can't blame the former
|
|
core team for this)
