Even though the existing guide is pretty outdated in some aspects, I wouldn't know where to stand between this draft of yours and our existing sources (there is some good material there!), haven't really had the time to do any serious comparisons.
Oops, resending to the lists with my subscribed address .... Yes there is good stuff in the old Guide. I am mining it for all I can to make sure that nothing in it gets left out, but I just got started and I'm not done yet. Or perhaps the more advanced stuff in the old Guide won't easily fit into my "minimalist" Guide; if so it can be accomodated separately. Either way, I don't want to leave anything out.
I'd love it if you could team up with Maun Suang and Brian Campbell, who've been actively contributing to documentation lately, and come up with a plan to rewrite as much as you can while keeping the best of both.
Yes, I have the same idea.
Doing it in docbook format would be sweet
Yes I thought so too. DocBook gives a lot of flexibility. Mark
