Hi Jack,



I'm still here.  But I'm a little bit confused.  I'd like to work on
Apache::RequestRec, but I'm not sure of the status of that document.
Will there be additional changes from an import, or is that it (and I
should get started).



I don't know how much you have followed the discussion about xsbuilder in
the past. Basicly it's abtracted out of the mod_perl build system to make it
also usable outside of mod_perl. It is able to parse the source comments of
the Apache headers and create pod from it. The last thing I have done and
what I described in the email Stas has quoted, is that the part that
actually generates the pod, is moved in a class of it's own. It's very easy
to change. So if you have some time to work on the docs, it would be great
if you can take xsbuilder (I send you the necessary version if you like to
do this, because it's not yet on cpan)  can customize the output, so it
looks like the desired final pod. After this step, we have docs for all
Apache objects and just need to Perlise them. Part of this translation is
already done by xsbuilder, other things should be very easy to add. If this
is done, the next step is to do some hand editing on the this generated pod.

Are you interested in working on this? (because my time is very limited at
the moment)


I'm interested in working on this, but I really don't know the first thing about your processes and don't want to rock the boat. :) If I get started on this project, I'm going to need someone to answer some very stupid questions that I'll come up with as I work.

I saw the Apache::RequestRec pod in the message, but I didn't know if that was it or if there were going to be more changes. Stas told me to hold off until the "import" but it was unclear to me when that was going to happen.

Please send me xsbuilder and tell me what to do with it. (Do I have the files that it acts on already? Where are they? Is the final desired pod just plain old perl pod? What texts do I need to read and know before I ask these questions?)
