My understanding is that Debian welcomes patches from anybody who can
improve the documentation situation on the www.debian.org. The Debian
Reference is a good start but could be so much better.
Perhaps those of you who have your own howtos and guides (e.g. Clive M)
would consider rolling this information into Debian?
I would happily contribute my notes into Debian; I confess to not having
explored how to do this, mainly due to time pressures. If someone wants
to point me in the right direction, I'll see what I can do.
However, the notes I've put together are pretty subjective and would
require some 'Debianising'; furthermore, I'm not sure how the stuff
about Debian derived CD's would play on debian.org?
Taking your notes section by section:
Desktop - take a look at the Install Guide. Is there anything in your
notes that would be useful there?
File /mail server - this could go into the Reference. See 3.4, 3.5, 9.6.
LAPP - nothing like this in the Reference at present. Needs much
expansion imo, and I don't like the part about installing database files
in /home.
We could start a seperate debate about the Reference. It has great
potential imo, but few read it. Perhaps it would be better split into
smaller chunks and/or totally restructured. Some chapters have
ambiguous names e.g. Debian Tutorials, Debian Tips, Tuning a Debian
system. I havae asked on d-d whether the Reference is a going concern,
before we go too far down the road of trying to improve it.
