11 Ok, so here what i've still remembered:
12 - colinux-howto.xml needs to be updated. It uses 2.4 and said that
13 2.6 is not possible. 2.6 is possible now. Also there is another way to
14 setup networking in colinux (as described in
15 http://wiki.colinux.org/cgi-bin/coLinuxNetworking#head-50014b6fc00ec98d0eaac65e39346e5bbfe41a37)
16 - gentoo-kernel.xml: please remove gentoo-dev-sources and updated
17 other sources if needed (i don't use them so i can't tell)
18 - utf-8.xml said that nano does not support utf-8 but i heard in
19 gentoo-dev that nano has supported utf-8. Please verify.

44 If <doc> was added to metadata.dtd, who would be responsible for
45 maintaining it? Ebuild maintainers or doc team?
