If somebody can make a git repo. of the whole documentation from https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-java-faq/ I could do a pull and then do a push which would need to be peer-reviewed from somebody of the debian-java team who can review and correct the content if needed. whether or not there should be a copy of the java-faq in java-common I would best leave to the maintainers although my opinion would be it would be nice if we can have such content in java-common. Whenever I and my friends and colleagues do debian installs in colleges and faraway places, we pride on the fact that debian has its own inbuilt documentation. Updating the FAQ is probably a simple job if the HTML/SGML issues could be worked around as content updation on a text-editor can be easily done if it's in a git repo. The Java-debian-policy may be a different fish altogether. If the above could be done, could do the edits/changes and share it for peer-review. Would need the repo. address and any instructions for pushing it to the repo. for review of the changes I have done. > Best regards > > Javier > -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8
