Good you found us!

Yes, please do so. We publish under GFDLv2.1 - with a section containing the text of GFDL2.1, marked as invariant section. Is this an issue for the kind of modification you are planning? > I found source rpm's on download.opensuse.org, is there any other way to get > read-only access to the latest version of these docs in a repository? We maintain our docbook sources in a subversion repo. The good news is, we move this repo to a public location. We are currently evaluating two options, svn.opensuse.org and berlios. > * collaboration on updating/extending this documentation.

As soon as we have settled in one of the public repos, we should be able to collaborate more easily. E.g. through patches, or a writable subtree. I plan to move forward with the svn next week. cheers, JW- -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | [email protected] back to ascii! __/ _---|____________\/ \ | 0911 74053-508 __/ (____/ /\ (/) | _____________________________/ _/ \_ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nuernberg) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
