discuss: Thread: tools

Hi

http://www.xml-dev.com/blog/test.php

shouldnt such tools be part of tldp.org 

we occasionally see dicussions on tools, licensing and
stuff but they usually spark some responses and die
off without any changes



regards
Rahul

Saqib was given permission to host, or possibly just maintain, tools.tldp.org. 
I am unsure of what the arrangement is. He has moved some, but not all of his 
tools over. There has been advertising on some of the tools hosted by Saqib. 
Although this is absolutely acceptable on personal sites, it is not currently 
accepted on The Linux Documentation Project hosted pages. There has been some 
discussion on the staff list about whether or not the tools site should be left 
up as is.

Saqib can remove the ads in the tldp.org hosted
version  right?

I have already proposed this but I would do that again

Is there any opposition to changing the manifesto
licensing policy so that

1) Creative commons Attribution share alike license in
the recommended version. Allowed licenses include gnu
fdl with no invariants. (opencontent seems have
disappeared)

2) Setup the following guidelines for accepted
documentation licenses

* Documents should be modifiable/forkable
* Recommend that authors allow commerical
redistribution

Note that is only for future documents

rahul

Former contents are still available at
http://web.archive.org/web/20030701024452/http://www.opencontent.org/ ,
and I've amended the link from my knowledgebase's Licensing and Law
category, accordingly.

Hi Rahul,

i tried your tools, but they did not work for me, when i tried:

http://www.thomas.miglinci.name/simpad/xml/simpad-howto.xml

the tools were unable to locate included files from the local directory -
instead these files were searched from /tmp/apache/....

greetings from vienna

Thomas

Hello Thomas,

The validator currently can not handle external
entities (i.e. files that are referencing external
entities). I am working on to find a good/fast way of
this. there are several options. hopefully I will be
able to get it done soon.

However, the XML to HTML transformer @
http://validate.sf.net can handle external entities.

In Peace,
Saqib Ali
