tasteful. yeah. useful getting started? yeah, one href to |
| 21 |
gentoo org. No, seriousely, you wanna more "getting started"? |
| 22 |
Than hire the documentation team, because upstream apache won't |
| 23 |
maintain "getting started" docs anylonger as a default webpage |
| 24 |
and we did not agree to their current plain'n'ugly "It works!" |
| 25 |
page. Once we've set up the server documentation e.g. |
| 26 |
(that one on apache-svn repos that still exists) than yeah, lets |
| 27 |
put it up. But for so long? no way. (except for the conditions |
| 28 |
mentioned above). |
