I'm sufficiently out of the loop, what with Real Life getting in the way, trying to meet book deadlines, and preparing for a mod_perl class next week, that I seem to have no idea what is going on. I've made a few changes lately because I came across problems while writing, but I don't have any real plan of attack. I know that there are some final remaining files that need to be converted to XML, and I still think that this is a pretty big priority. Lugging around the two different file formats is no fun, and gives an inconsistent look to the site. And, personally, I have found myself very dissatisfied with the howto documentation in the last few weeks -- primarily because I wrote most of it, and so the errors, inconsistencies, and bad organization in some of them particularly embarrass me. Hopefully I'm being harder on myself than other folks would be. ;-) Nevertheless, I think that some other person going through the howto files, and being as critical as a 6th grade English Composition teacher, would be a really good thing. Don't be concerned about hurting my feelings - I'm used to editors being critical, and it is a necessary and useful part of the process. As noted by another recent poster, we could use some more howto-type documentation. However, the shotgun approach of the past should be replaced with a real plan of what howto docs we want to see there. The shotgun approach (and, probably, the disorganized nature of the docs) is largely due to the fact that these were articles written for another purpose, and donated here after the fact. If someone had a list of beginner docs that seemed reasonable, we could put together a multi-step tutorial process that a beginner could walk through.
