I have read it, and I find it lacking; thus the comments. Or are you |
20 |
claiming that the idea of having a central website like errata.g.o with |
21 |
GuideXML-ized migrations guides is in your GLEP? Its not. I'm proposing |
22 |
adding that as the definative source of the errata, and feeding it to |
23 |
other places (emerge --news, mailing lists, forums, GWN) as desired. |
24 |
|
25 |
I'm also commenting on the part that *wrongly* states "It is not |
26 |
reasonable to expect all users to have an MTA, *web browser*, email |
27 |
client, cron daemon or text processing suite available on their system. |
28 |
In particular, this means that any markup to be parsed must be in a very |
29 |
simple format." |
30 |
|
31 |
*ALL* of the official docs are GuideXML; Gentoo *expects* users to have |
32 |
a web browser by default. Otherwise a vast majority of users would never |
33 |
get Gentoo installed in the first place. The "lightweight" requirement |
34 |
appears to just be your way of subverting the current documentation |
35 |
standards (because of your XML hatred). |
36 |
|
37 |
The news directory shouldn't the main source of the migration guides; |
38 |
the website should be (one central page that can feed other sources). |
