Why don't provide zipped manuals an HOW-TOs?
Hello everybody browsing jakarta.apache.org I noticed that manuals are not provided as zip, tarballs or pdf, so just a suggestion: Why don't provide zipped manuals an HOW-TOs of the applications, together with the online pages? This could allow easy off-line browsing of the documentation. please tell me if this type of documentation already exists somewhere in jakarta.apache.org or elsewhere. regards Stefano Mainardi Sapient Via Crocefisso, 19 Milano, 20122 Italia +39 02.58.217.1 desk +39 02.58.217.217 fax www.sapient.it
Re: Why don't provide zipped manuals an HOW-TOs?
Usually because I'm assembling a list of docs for a PDA, or for a company document server, or whatever :) But Andrew's right. The docs are generally in the binary downloads.

We don't provide them seperately because we figure if you haven't downloaded POI then what do you need the documentation for? ;-) -Andy Stefano Mainardi wrote: Hello everybody browsing jakarta.apache.org I noticed that manuals are not provided as zip, tarballs or pdf, so just a suggestion: Why don't provide zipped manuals an HOW-TOs of the applications, together with the online pages?

Why Sun lost the Yahoo! account...
I knew that not having a decent FreeBSD JVM was eventually going to bite Sun in the ass in a very public way... Why not JSP, Servlets, or J2EE? http://public.yahoo.com/~radwin/talks/yahoo-phpcon2002.htm It would have been cool to say that Java powered Yahoo! -jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:general-unsubscribe;jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:general-help;jakarta.apache.org
Newsletter - Request for content
Hi all, After a lapse last month its approaching time to put together another newsletter. As usual, I've cc'd those that submitted content last month in the hope that they will either submit something again, or try to persuade someone else to take over writing for the Sep-Oct issue. If anybody else fancies doing a write up of the progress in some Jakarta project it then please send it in. For a inspiration on content and style you can review previous entries at http://jakarta.apache.org/site/news/, although new styles and ideas are welcome too. Planned timescale: Submissions sent to me by midnight Sunday 3-Nov-2002. Drafts will be posted on Monday and Tuesday as needed for alterations and last minuters. Final copy sent out on [EMAIL PROTECTED] midday 6-Nov-2002 All times GMT. Thanks, Rob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: mailto:general-unsubscribe;jakarta.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: mailto:general-help;jakarta.apache.org
