&gt; &gt; S&gt; I suggest we comply with the standards : /usr/share/doc/HOWTO
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; Agreed. And doc/FAQ and doc/GUIDES, but doc/HOWTO/mini
&gt;
&gt; I was under the impression that we were going to remove the
&gt; distinction between HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs. Why then keep that
&gt; old sub directory? Now that ./doc is positioned below ./share
&gt; I would have thought this is an excellent opportunity to remove
&gt; old cruft.
&gt;
&gt; At the same time we should try to decide on the place for
&gt; other formats. A suggestion to star the ball rolling
&gt;
&gt; /
&gt; usr
&gt; share
&gt; HOWTO - the HOWTOs in HTML format goes here
&gt; ascii - same HOWTOS but as plain text
&gt; PDF - same HOWTOS but as PDF
&gt; PostScript
&gt; SGML
&gt; GUIDES - the Guides in HTML format
&gt; ascii
&gt; PDF
&gt; PostScript
&gt; SGML
I would prefer &quot;text&quot; to &quot;ascii&quot; on the grounds that the meaning is more
apparent to computer neophytes, without any corresponding loss of
precision. And, I would add &quot;HTML&quot;, yielding:
/
usr
share
HOWTO - the HOWTOs in HTML format goes here
text - same HOWTOS but as plain text
PDF - same HOWTOS but as PDF
PostScript
SGML
HTML
GUIDES - the Guides in HTML format
text
PDF
PostScript
SGML
HTML
