|
||
sorry, folks, but I think there is a problem.
|
||
|
||
I'm unsure what this discussion is about.
|
||
|
||
I think initially it was about knowing what documentation was lacking (to
|
||
try to write it) and giving a help to beginners (initial writing guide)
|
||
|
||
if the goal is still of this kind, you can continue to fill pages and
|
||
pages of mails if you want, I can't afford to read it all, but I trust you.
|
||
|
||
but if you mean you are going to weight the HOWTO's to know if they are
|
||
good or not an to grades authors on this base, I disagree absolutely.
|
||
|
||
knowing if a howto is well written or not is of nearly no interest, at
|
||
least as long as there are yet to be written howto's.
|
||
|
||
The only question is : is this howto usefull or not ? is the answer is
|
||
yes, let it live.
|
||
|
||
I don't think ldp is allowed to do any real metric on the documentation.
|
||
|
||
If you want really to have some kind of judgement on the howto's,
|
||
enventually, you can set online a questionaire asking users: did you read
|
||
the howto ? did you use it ? do you like it ? and that's all
|
||
|
||
is for no other reason, the only people able really to meter a howto is a
|
||
people able to write it, and if so he should better work with the author
|
||
than judge him...
|
||
|
||
anyway, try to keep short, trim most of the initial mail in yours
|
||
answers... this thread become unreadable...
|
||
|
||
and don't think I under estimate your work. I greatly appreciate all you
|
||
there.
|
||
|
||
sincerely
|
||
jdd
