Can we get these on the website somewhere as "to-do" items?

|
|
|
|
This is a HUGE job. IMHO, we need to expand upon the documents that we have
|
|
already, namely Mark's HOWTO-HOWTO, Jorge's Using-DocBook-HOWTO, and the
|
|
mini-HOWTO type document by Serek on CVS. I think that the whole mess
|
|
should get pushed into one larger GUIDE, with several chapters. The first
|
|
chapter should be an introduction to the LDP communty and website, telling
|
|
about what we're trying to do, and a little about how we're trying to do it.
|
|
The second chapter should be something general on what makes a good
|
|
document, and perhaps some templates with structure build it. The third
|
|
chapter should go into some detail about how to use DocBook (not the tools,
|
|
but the language) to mark the content of your document. The fourth chapter
|
|
should cover making the tools that are used to process DocBook into other
|
|
formats working. The fifth chapter should cover guidelines on how to submit
|
|
a document to the LDP, and eventually details on how to use CVS and perhaps
|
|
how CVS works. I've lost my train of though, but I'm sure there are more
|
|
that I'm missing. I know for sure that Mark K was interested in working on
|
|
this, how many other people are? Does it need to get off of the main
|
|
LDP-discuss list?
|
|
|
|
> * get the CVS repository fully-functional.
|
|
|
|
There's a list for this now, I'll let it go until tomorrow.

|

|

Hmm, definately something that needs discussing. Any ideas?
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
Along with CVS stuff, I think.

|
|
|
|
Aye, I've got plenty to say on this one, but I'm waiting for a few things to
|
|
settle out before I start going with that.
|
|
|
|
> * provide a browse-by-category mechanism (ie Networks -> modems, etc).
|
|
|
|
Wow, that sounds like a fun task. I think that one is going to need lots of
|
|
volunteers, and lots of cross-linking between documents. Perhaps even some
|
|
new documents that help to describe the whole category.

|
|
|
|
I don't follow this one, can somebody explain?
|
|
|
|
Enough for now,
