I understand that the process for dealing with poor quality HOWTOs is
for them to be reviewed, in an attempt to salvage useful content.
However, it seems to me that this example in particular has no useful
content whatsoever.
Even if it is removed "for review" as per a couple of the other useless
HOWTOs, can this please be done soon for the C++ HOWTO ? And are people
seriously trying to fix up this stuff ? It amounts to a re-write, at
least in the case of the C++ HOWTO (which in itself has no clear agenda
or purpose, anyway).
The contributor pages don't seem to refer to the reviewing task at all
as something that outsiders can help with. Is this process open ?
These HOWTOs are damaging tldp's reputation (at least going from
comments I hear).
btw, the "how to submit" documentation on the site makes no reference to
any form of peer review, but ISTR that this does happen these days ?
regards
john
