Uhm, yeah. Even if they have pictures, you'll just be missing that picture
|
|
in the text only version. The DocBook to text tools aren't that great, but
|
|
they do work, and we NEED, MUST, and ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO keep text only as an
|
|
output format. I don't see why they need to be separated like that, but
|
|
that could be just me. As much as I want to see DocBook get used for the
|
|
LDP, not quite yet. We need to get a GOOD DocBook Authors Guide created,
|
|
and some really good examples of DocBook before we encourage authors to move
|
|
that way. Only after these two pieces are in place should we make the
|
|
DocBook "translations" part of the collection. When we do make those
|
|
DocBook translations part of the collection, then we should start
|
|
encouraging people to take a look at the translation, and the good docbook
|
|
examples that we provide so that they can start maintaining their documents
|
|
in DocBook. Let's not move on this before we have things ready, or it will
|
|
seriousally backfire on us.

I hope you're feeling better soon. Later,
