But at least the layout is consistent, the location is official, concurrent development is possible and the resource is shared on multiple web nodes. Not to mention that GuideXML URLs don't suck and are a lot easier to remember. You just need to know the name of the document: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/ whereas with dev.g.o URLs, you have http://dev.gentoo.org/~// Wkr, Sven Vermeulen -- Gentoo Foundation Trustee | http://foundation.gentoo.org Gentoo Documentation Project Lead | http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gdp Gentoo Council Member The Gentoo Project <<< http://www.gentoo.org >>> pgpnYiyWs4wJm.pgp Description: PGP signature

Please see our XML guide [1] - you can use "id" attribute and make links like "file.xml#reboot".

I should have opened the file before sending the message, sorry. * It's misspelt LICENSE. We all know that LICENCE is the real way of spelling it, but Portage expects LICENSE. At least according to my dictionary, LICENSE is the American spelling and LICENCE is the British. In this sense both are correct ( "we all know that" ). -- Cheers, Ivan Yosifov. -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list

[gentoo-dev] FAQs for maintainer-wanted ebuilds
I've put together a kind of FAQ for the most common maintainer-wanted problems: http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm/docs/mw-faq/ The idea is to replace most of my usual bullet points in the "please fix" list with URLs with more complete explanations. Any additions or suggestions for changes would be appreciated. Please do not GuideXMLify this unless you first make XML not suck. I like my nice sane memorisable consistent URLs and quickly updateable content. -- Ciaran McCreesh : Gentoo Developer (Vim, Shell tools, Fluxbox, Cron) Mail: ciaranm at gentoo.org Web : http://dev.gentoo.org/~ciaranm pgpr6uZXgjuys.pgp Description: PGP signature
