The recent post by Aurora Skarra-Gallagher about the Cyrus mini-HOWTO
and the question about having the document as an &quot;actual&quot; HOWTO instead
of a &quot;mini&quot; HOWTO made me wonder about how one decides where your
HOWTO should go. Is there a web page or document that outlines how
you decide? Or has it just been self-selected?
It looks to me that broader subjects are in the &quot;regular&quot; HOWTOs and
more specific and narrower subjects are &quot;mini&quot; HOWTOs. But this does
not seem to be consistent.
It seems like this would be something worth a short paragraph in the
HOWTO-HOWTO.
Thanks,
Dan
