STATUS revision 6ab4f185e5657d75a311c0f22a3c27de473019d4
Apache HTTP Server 2.0 Documentation Status File.
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
- 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: Ryan <rbb@covalent.net> offers to supply information
on the operation of each MPM. There is also some info in
htdocs/manual/mpm.html that will need to be cleaned up,
linked up, and updated.
Joshua <slive@finance.commerce.ubc.ca> has committed
an intitial version of mpmt_pthread for discussion.
- Merging of changes in 1.3.
- There have been many changes in the 1.3 docs which haven't
been propagated into 2.0. For example, many of the "It Worked"
translations have not made it.
Things which need to be merged:
- Reorganizing.
- Joshua thinks this is a good opportunity to think about directory
structure.
Proposal:
Create manual/FAQ which contains all the manual/misc/FAQ* docs
Create manual/platform which contans
manual/misc/perf-*.html
- Cleaning.
- We could use a list of all the docs that can be axed out of 2.0
because they are redundant or irrelevant.
Status: Rich <rbowen@rcbowen.com> is going to look at this.
Some suggestions on files to axe. Feel free to comment.
manual/bind.html (mostly now documented in server-wide.html)
manual/cgi-path.html (should be documented in mod_cgi.html instead)
manual/multi-logs.html (documented in mod_log_config.html)
manual/process-model.html (documented in MPMs, eventually)
- Individual docs will need some cleanup. For example,
manual/invoking.html could use a big cleanup with lots of the
"this changed in 1.3.10" stuff removed.
- New build process.
- The new build process is autoconf based, so manual/install.html
will need to be completely rewritten. Someone with enough
patience could probably figure out most of the important stuff
by trial and error.
Status: Ryan's "Building and Installing Apache 2.0" might be
a starting place. Rich <rbowen@rcbown.com> is interested
in collaborating with someone else on this.
- 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.
Status: Ryan has two ApacheToday articles which may be useful
for this.
- Translations
Status: ???
- The STATUS Document.
- Is this the best organization/format? What else needs to be
added? Should this be auto-posted to apache-docs?
