Okay, I'm going to try this one again too. I see at least a couple possible reasons why my doc patches are being ignored:
1. The people who have commit access don't like them, or think that they are not very important. 2. Nobody with commit access is reading the docs list, or has time to deal with submitted patches. In any case, the exercise seems rather pointless if patches get no feedback at all. I'm not trying to be snotty. I'm just trying to see if I am wasting my time contributing here. Please let me know. -- Joshua Slive [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://finance.commerce.ubc.ca/~slive/ Phone: (604) 822-1871 ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 19 Aug 2000 15:09:13 -0700 (PDT) From: Joshua Slive <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [PATCH] External Apache tutorials I am submitting a new file for the docs which consists of links to (mostly external) tutorials. This is meant to help alleviate the steep learning curve and lack of task-oriented material in the current apache docs by leveraging some of the great material that is out there on the web, and putting it in an easily accessible place for newcomers. There are a few concerns with using external linked material: 1. We need to be careful to check the accuracy of the docs. 2. Some of these links will obviously grow stale over time, so some maintenance will be needed. 3. Some sites may not like being "deep-linked" in this way. (No permission was requested.) Overall, I think the advantages outweigh these concerns. Attached is a draft document which can be dropped into htdocs/manual/misc and a patch to htdocs/manual/index.html to reference it. -- Joshua Slive [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://finance.commerce.ubc.ca/~slive/ Phone: (604) 822-1871
