|
|
|
|
It's true depending on which Docs CD you're looking at. We actually
|
|
produce several variants of our Docs CD:
|
|
|
|
o English only
|
|
|
|
o "8-bit international" (currently German, French, Italian, and
|
|
Spanish)
|
|
|
|
o "16-bit international" (currently Japanese)
|
|
|
|
We've traditionally included English in our international CDs; the
|
|
rationale is that not all documents have been translated, so if the
|
|
customer knows some English, they at least have some access to the
|
|
content.
|
|
|
|
Since these CDs also include our in-house developed documentation (HTML, PDF, and
|
|
RPM), we take a pretty big space hit for the 8-bit international CD (3
|
|
manuals in 3 formats in 5 languages). Something has to give; so for the
|
|
international CDs we've had to reduce the number of available formats to
|
|
make everything fit.

|
|
|
|
I seem to recall seeing this discussed before; there was no consensus. But
|
|
speaking as a person that has a vested interest in this, it seems to me
|
|
that a better layout would be to have a top-level set of directories for
|
|
language, with subdirectories for howto/mini (if that distinction is still
|
|
being maintained), followed by one subdirectory for each format:
|
|
|
|
DE EN FR .... ZA
|
|
|
|
|
+--+--+
|
|
| |
|
|
mini howto
|
|
|
|
|
+---+-------+--------+--+
|
|
| | | | |
|
|
txt html html_single pdf ps
|
|
|
|
I think this would help the reader more easily find things. It would also
|
|
help people figure out the easiest way to trim content in order to meet
|
|
space constraints (like someone I know ;-)...
|
|
|
|
Just my $0.02,
