Apache HTTP Server 2.0 Documentation Status File.
Last modified: $Date: 2001/08/17 16:58:27 $
If you are interested in helping accomplish some of the tasks on this
list or otherwise improving the documentation, please join the
apache-docs mailing list by mailing to
apache-docs-subscribe@apache.org
For more information on how to contribute to the Apache Documentation
Project, please see http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/, and
http://apache-server.com/tutorials/ATdocs-project.html for an excellent
tutorial on how to get started with making your contribution.
------------------------------
- modules docs
- mod_suexec: very little documentation
- mod_include: the "INCLUDES_MAGIC_TYPE" x-server-parsed-html
appears to have been removed from mod_include, but it is still
present in mod_negotiation, mod_autoindex, and httpd.h.
Should it be removed from the docs for mod_include?
- mod_status: updates for 2.0
- mod_example: updates for 2.0
- man pages
- Some of the man pages need to be updated for 2.0. At least
the httpd man page appears to be outdated, and perhaps other.
After this is done, the manual/programs/ versions can be
regenerated.
- XHTML conversion
Status: James A Sutherland <jas88@cam.ac.uk>
is working on this.
Some work is still needed
to determine what the SSIs should look like.
- MPM documentation
- Each MPM needs to have a documentation file in manual/mod/
which lists the directives it provides, and some details
about its operation.
Status: Initial outlines done. Much more details need to be
filled in.
- Non unix/windows MPMs still need to be completed.
- worker has no docs
- the perchild directives in threaded/worker need docs
- Cleaning.
- The following docs WILL BE REMOVED from httpd-2.0 unless
someone objects shortly. Most haven't been touched in
years.
- Individual docs will need some cleanup.
Status: What docs still need to be touched here?
- invoking.html has had a first-pass cleaning done.
- misc/perf-tuning.html - needs major rewrite for 2.0
- misc/FAQ.html - some old questions could be remove
- is a new format in order?
- misc/tutorials.html - mostly not relevant to 2.0
- dso.html
- misc/rewriteguide.html - needs cleaning in 1.3 and 2.0
- misc/known_client_problems.html - mostly ancient
- New build process.
- install.html has had a first-pass rewrite, but needs more
work to be complete, and needs to track changes/bug-fixes
in the build system.
- Documentation of new features.
- This will probably require more input from new-httpd, since
not many people here follow the development process close
enough to know what is going on.
- API documentation
Status: Ben Laurie has written some hooks documentation
- Translations
We appear to have people working on translation into the following
languages. These may just be the 'it worked' page, but if so
the authors of those should perhaps be contacted to help do the
rest.. :-) Note that this list is NOT identical to that for the
1.3 documentation project..!
[Should we attempt to get a known-current authorlist together? --jsl]
- Catalan (.ca)
- Czech Republic (.cz)
- German (.de)
- Danish (.dk)
- Estonia (.ee)
- Greek (.el)
- Spanish (.es)
- Estonian (.et)

- Hebrew (.he.iso8859-8)
- Italian (.it)
- Japanese (.ja.iso2022-jp, .ja.jis)
- Korean (.kr.iso2022-kr, .kt.iso-kr)
- ? (.ltz)
- ? (.lu)
- Dutch (.nl)
- Norwegian (.no)
- Polish (.po.iso-pl)
- Portuguese (.pt)
- Portuguese [Brasilian] (.pt-br)
- Swedish (.se)
- Twi (.tw, .tw.big5)
(is that supposed to be Chinese/Taiwanese? Because if so, it is using
the code reserved for Twi..)
[Need this clarified --jsl]
Things to be done in both the 1.3 and 2.0 trees
===============================================
Tutorials
=========
* Tutorial on user authentication with Apache. Rich Bowen has contributed
his tutorial from ApacheToday, but it needs to be cleaned up and put in
a good format for the docs.
- Rich has kindy donated the "4-part logging article on Apache Today"
articles that will need a little massaging.
New User documentation
======================
* Adding more documentation for new users
- I believe that we'll need to get more info on what is missing, ie.
user feedback and whatnot. --jsl
Documentation improvements
==========================
* Improving the "security docs"
- More content and better organisation.
* General cleaning and improving of module docs
* Making the directive definitions "less terse" (i.e., adding more
examples and details to the definitions of the directives)
- We'll need to audit these and find out which ones need munging, as
some of it looks ok. --jsl
