As Professor Farnsworth would say; Great news everyone! Some time ago, I proposed we use a comment system for our trunk branch, that I had been developing for our site. This system has been tested during the entire month of June, and received 11 actual comments (not counting the 110 test comments made by committers) and no spam whatsoever. The serious comments have already led to documentation changes, which I'd like to say is a success, considering how few people actually read and use our trunk docs.
The comment system has now been adopted by the ASF and is available at https://comments.apache.org - the documentation has already been changed to use this new service instead of the old site. Some time soon, this will be hooked up to LDAP, enabling any Apache committer to log on and moderate comments. The wiki article at http://wiki.apache.org/httpd/DocsCommentSystem has been updated accordingly. Once LDAP is set up (hopefully some time this weekend), I will propose a vote to add the comment system to both the 2.2 and the 2.4 branch of our documentation, so please read up on the proposal (in the wiki article) and try out posting comments and moderating them (once LDAP is set up). If you can't wait for committer authentication, you can still manually create an account and I can make you a moderator. This will only last till LDAP is set up, at which point you will have to use your committer id/password. So, read, test, manage, and I'll propose a vote as soon as we've got the system all set. With regards, Daniel. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: docs-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: docs-h...@httpd.apache.org
