<A HREF="http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX-3.html#ss3.1">http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX-3.html#ss3.1</A>

It is close but I would like a tidier version.
|
|
|
|
For instance the entry "All Linux HOWTOs in HTML format"
|
|
should be moved out of the list, to the top or bottom.
|
|
And why not use a table rather than a bullet-list?
|
|
|
|
Suggestion
|
|
Name of HOWTO, name of author then right justified version and date
|
|
on new line the descriptive line.
|
|
In the future another line following of keywords would make this
|
|
list even simpler to search.
|
|
And then next entry...
|
|
|
|
Mini-HOWTOs might now join the main list?
|
|
|
|
The last section 3.4 is called "Unmaintained HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs"
|
|
yet these are not listed here, you need to use the FTP to do so.
|
|
<A HREF="ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/unmaintained">ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/unmaintained</A>
|
|
|
|
Suggestion: use an extra field in the table described above
|
|
to show status.
|
|
|
|
For this list we need to keep the end users in focus, and
|
|
user friendliness and accessibility are the main features
|
|
to help them.
