You've come to the right place. We have recently wrestled with the
|
|
corresponding explosion in demand for Linux materials and the troubles
|
|
of maintaining the collection as discreet, disconnected 'napkin
|
|
notes', and we concluded our only hope is to devote energy to
|
|
the organization and delivery of this material.
|
|
|
|
To that end, we updated the website, updated the search engine through
|
|
at least three revisions, and we undertook to standardize on a
|
|
library-science-friendly document format, ie DocBook.
|
|
|
|
If you have experience in information sciences, then it should be
|
|
fairly obvious that our problem is one of document management on a
|
|
shoestring budget. We need to provide means for people to find
|
|
documents and then deliver these in formats people can use. We need
|
|
to interrelate documents made by unrelated authors such that one
|
|
document can become the portal to many. And we need to construct the
|
|
process for managing the continuous, reasonably format-friendly update
|
|
process. Your talents are welcome in all these efforts.
|
|

|
|
|
|
How are you at advanced Makefiles? For starters, we need some make
|
|
rules which detect that a document provided only GIFs and needs to
|
|
generate EPS, _and_ vice versa ;)
|
|
|
|
Any good at Scheme programming? We could do with lots of DSSSL
|
|
programming. How about parsers? Care to tackle an HTML->DocBook
|
|
converter? Maybe XML is your thing: Care to adapt Cocoon to the
|
|
on-the-fly navigation of DocBook sources?
|
|
|
|
Our job jar runneth over.
