&gt; Guylhem mentioned automating the LDP submission process. The easiest
&gt; way to do this is to get that CVS system you've been working on up and
&gt; running. That way authors can either get accounts and do updates
&gt; themselves, or they can send their updated docs to a central place where
&gt; any one of a number of volunteers with CVS accounts can commit the new
&gt; doc into the tree. This is how the OSWG deals with it, and it really is
&gt; quite effective.
We had long discussions about this, and some authors didn't agree.
I am working on a mail-based automatic submission.
Most of the work is already done
&gt; with the DocBook instance in the CVS system. I'd be happy to pass along
&gt; a copy of our scripts -- they cannot be used &quot;as is&quot; since all the
&gt; paths/etc are hardcoded in, but you might be able to emulate our system
&gt; fairly easily.
Serek, would you be interested?
&gt; I haven't had a chance to look at your CVS system...is there a page out
&gt; there about it anywhere? I'd be interested in seeing what structure you
&gt; decided to use. The OSWG has emulated the structure that the FreeBSD
&gt; Documentation Project uses...it allows for various languages to be
&gt; separated out, etc.
It is still under development ; Serek is working on it.
&gt; Second...
&gt;
&gt; If/when the LDP does decide to merge the miniHOWTOs in with the HOWTOs,
&gt; I recommend leaving a copy of the miniHOWTOs in their current location
&gt; for a while. Chances are that there are at least a couple of dozen
&gt; pages out there that link to each of them. The LDP doc tree structure
&gt; has been around for an awfully long time, and changing that structure is
&gt; not to be taken lightly or done radically &amp; suddenly. Make it known
&gt; that the /mini dir is deprecated and give folks plenty of time to update
&gt; their links. I imaging that a year would be sufficient warning. It
&gt; might seem like a long time, but better to overshoot than underestimate,
&gt; really.
Good idea ; Gregory is my hierarchy proposal ok?
We will keep both the old hierarchy (with warnings and links to the new
one) and the new one.
