Yep. The first thing to do is to learn how to use CVS. A good set of instructions is at http://apache-server.com/tutorials/ATdocs-project.html If you have problems with that, there are other tutorials we can point you to. Assuming you are cvs-profficient, then take a look in cvs.apache.org:httpd-2.0/docs/manual/style/ and httpd-2.0/docs/manual/mod/ We are converting from an old html format to a new xml format. Some limited documentation on the new format is at http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/docsformat.html but the best way to learn is by looking at some of the already-converted docs. We could certainly use help continuing with that conversion process. This is relatively boring work, but certainly important. Other things that you could consider doing: - Looking at httpd-2.0/docs/manual/style/manual.xsl and manual.css and improving them to make something cleaner and better looking. - Creating a DTD to match the format we are using. I'm a little skeptical about this, since we would need to include a big chunk of xhtml, and I'm not sure how much value it would have in the end anyway. - Everything in the STATUS files, although they may not be perfectly up-to-date. Feel free to ask any questions or make any suggestions.
