This is the status of the Gentoo Documentation Project. It will be posted regularly, but not with a static frequency. All questions can be posted to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or to me personally.
The Gentoo Documentation Project, from now on abbreviated to GDP, has its own project page (just like almost all other Gentoo projects). You can find it at http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gdp. This status mail will briefly discuss the following tasks, objectives and/or projects related to the GDP: - Supported languages - PDF documentation - GuideXML Update - Gentoo Handbook - WYSIWYG editor - Stylesheets ** Supported languages The Danish translations are fully integrated in the documentation project. Their documentation can be found at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/da/index.xml. We welcome broeman and Aaby to our team :) Dertobi123 has also joined our team as new lead translator for the German language. He has taken over Pylon's position. We ofcourse also welcome dertobi123 aboard :) ** PDF documentation As is mentioned in previous status mails, we will create PDFs using FOP. However, development of the script is on a hiatus until the new infrastructure design is ready to be deployed (namely having webnodes sync from a master webnode instead of from the gentoo cvs server). ** GuideXML Update The GuideXML format, used to develop the documentation, has been extended with the possibility to identify chapters or sections so that internal references are dealt with more easily. More information on this can be found at [1] ** Gentoo Handbook The part on "Installing Gentoo" is now the official source for installation instructions. The "older" installation guides are still maintained though up until the new Gentoo Linux comes out. ** WYSIWYG editor [EMAIL PROTECTED] is working on a (GPL'd) tool that allows editors to create documents through a webbased WYSIWYG editor. Currently it works but lacks some necessary features, such as 100% GuideXML compliance, and the use of the Coding Style. However, the project looks very promising. Certainly one to keep an eye on :) ** Stylesheets The guide-print.xsl style has been updated so that the printable versions of our documentation is really printable. Before, a margin was left unprinted, rendering the "printer friendly" feature useless.
