Subject: [gentoo-dev] {Guide,Project,Foo}XML too confusing for many devs? |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
<snip> my basic question is do you as a |
| 8 |
developer find writing web pages to be confusing or difficult? Is there |
| 9 |
not a good tutorial for learning our webpage XML syntax? Do you find that |
| 10 |
you bump up against restrictions in the DTD or other problems that prevent |
| 11 |
you from expressing yourself properly? Do you have any idea how to |
| 12 |
actually go about extending GuideXML (or the other XML's we provide) Have |
| 13 |
you ever tried? Could we improve training with regards to any of this? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
Thanks, |
| 16 |

I have never had a problem writing for GuideXML, but I haven't done a lot of |
| 23 |
it. I found the online guide to be sufficient for getting things working. |
| 24 |
I've never had a problem with the DTD or any other obstacle for expressing |
| 25 |
content in XML. As for extending GuideXML, I think we should discuss the |
| 26 |
"business driver" behind that idea. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
Do we have usage stats on the web sites? I use the Handbook, package.g.o, |
| 29 |
and the forums the most. Would extensions to GuideXML help improve those |
| 30 |
areas? Should we encourage more content to go into the wiki, expecially |
| 31 |
content that is likely to change over a short period of time? |
