Dear all,
Is it possible to put that longish flame war behind us?
Here is something I had mentioned - quite a bit of HOWTOs are
irrelevant; because things have become too easy.
Here is a short list:-
ALL the language HOWTOs - Chinese, Hebrew, Thai, Indic, TTDebian (true
type fonts in Debian); etc.; and the list is incomplete. The language
/ script HOWTOS, are simply an issue of installing the appropriate
font packages and enabling the appropriate keyboard layouts.
Is it posible to move such HOWTOs to an "archives" section; at least
move them down a link?
OTOH, and IMHO, some HOWTOs, in spite of lack of updating, are still
relevant - like the Motorola Surfboard Modem HOTWO. I have used that
previously, and have moved on only because the ISP providing a cheaper
option here uses ADSL.
Now, is it possible to do something about the technologically obsolete
HOWTOs?
Once the dead wood is out of way, I guess people will focus more on
work needing to be done.
