I've been converting the Gentoo handbook into Plucker format for awhile |
| 2 |
now in an automated fashion, and I'd like to expand that to include as |
| 3 |
much of the existing Gentoo documentation as possible. I'm not a Gentoo |
| 4 |
user (I've been using Linux actively for over a decade now), but a |
| 5 |
significant portion of our userbase is. |

You can see the results of one of these conversions here: |

Is the documentation for Gentoo in a repository somewhere? svn? cvs? |
| 12 |
rsync? I'd like to keep my local copy current in a more efficient way, |
| 13 |
vs. having to hit the Gentoo mirrors all the time over http to refetch |
| 14 |
the same material when it changes or is updated. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
If not, would it be feasible to create one? I'd be more than happy to |
| 17 |
host it if necessary (I host and maintain dozens of other projects over |
| 18 |
at SourceFubar.Net). |

I mirror LDP, Wikimedia's projects, Project Gutenberg, CPAN, and quite a |
| 21 |
few other things. I'd love to mirror Gentoo's documentation for the |
| 22 |
purposes of reconverting it to Plucker regulary. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Let me know, and I'll do what I can to help. I just don't like having to |
| 25 |
use http to fetch HTML content on an iterative basis. |

Thanks for your time. |
