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 gentoo-doc@gentoo.org 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:
Sven Vermeulen has posted a preliminary TODO list that - amongst the pile of bugreports - need to be resolved. A tad later this TODO list is added to the GDP Website as a separate resource.
Developers interested in taking on a challenge posed by the TODO list can always inform the gentoo-doc mailinglist.
3. Status Updates on a per-developer basis
From now on, all GDP Developers are required to post a monthly status update on their own personal achievements. Such a status update, which must be mailed to gentoo-doc, contains at least:
The following documentation has been updated to a great extend:
Sven Vermeulen has launched a proposal to provide DRPs to the Gentoo community. The proposal is in the first stage and will not be persued before the other documentation issues are finished.
More information can be found on Sven's Dev-page.
The Gentoo Installation Instructions have been altered to deal with the upcoming 2004.0 release. Changes include:
The Documentation Index has been updated to point to the relevant Gentoo Handbook chapters (for USE flags, Portage stuff, Environment Variables and Initscripts).
The links to the old gentoo-*-install.xml guides have been removed as those installation instructions are obsoleted.
