discuss: Thread: Enterprise Java for Linux HOWTO

Hi,

Ages ago I thought it would be nice to update the *unmaintained* Enterprise
Java for Linux HOWTO.
Checking http://www.tldp.org/authors/unmaint.html, it states that this
document *has* a new maintainer. 
No new document shows up...

What is the best way to act now?
Contact the new maintainer?

TIA,

Mylene

That sounds like a good approach. Let him know you're interested in
helping. He should either say yes (nobody's ever turned down help so
far as I know!) or say you can take it over yourself. Please let us
know so we can update the table.

Ferg, it might be a good idea to add a date column to that table so we
know how current the data is.

Hi,

Some time ago I wrote the guy that is mentioned as "new maintainer" for the
Enterprise Java for Linux HOWTO. He didn't answer my e-mail.

What are the best steps to take now?
Contact the original maintainers? Or keep waiting for an answer (I send the
message july 9...)

TIA,

Mylene

Hi Guylhem et.al,

I contacted the previous maintainer *and* the original maintainer.
The previous maintainer agreed, and the document is released under the
GPL...
So you can count me in as maintainer of the above mentioned document. It
will cost some time till it will be finished.
Is it a good idea to update chapter by chapter, and to publish every update?
or....?

Cya,

Mylene

Now try to contact the original maintainers - if you get no reply  and
if the document license allows it just update it.

I'll make the change accordingly.

Publish when you feel it's ready for release. Make sure you take
a look through the LDP Author Guide for details on submittal,
various procedures, style information, etc. Thanks.

Hello all,

I'm interested in taking on maintenance of the EJ for Linux HOWTO:
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Enterprise-Java-for-Linux-HOWTO.html

As you can see, it's pretty out-of-date.
I've mailed the former 3 maintainers, including the one shown as
current maintainer on the HOWTO itself, Mylene Reiners.

Mylene says that she handed ownership on to someone else some
time back, but is not sure who the current maintainer is now. 
The other two, previous authors encouraged me to go ahead, and
one even offered to help.

I've done a Google search, and can't find any other EJ for Linux
HOWTOs around. Anyone have any suggestions as to how I could work
out who is the current maintainer?  Or would you like me to go 
ahead and take on maintenance?

Happy to help if needed.

Yours,

Hi Jon,

I was looking at this link: 
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Enterprise-Java-for-Linux-HOWTO-1.html#ss1.8 and
couldn't find the reference to EJ or Mylene Reiners.  

Are those names mentioned somewhere in the document and I've missed
them?  Otherwise, it appeares Gary Meyer is the latest maintainer, with
updates by Greg Wilkins.

Let me know where you saw those other two names!

Hello,

I found them on the Unmaintained List:
http://tldp.org/authors/unmaint.html

"EJ for Linux" is an abbreviation for "Enterprise Java for Linux".

Yours,

Hi Jon,

Geez, I certainly misread that one!  

Yeah, I took a look at Google too and couldn't see a version that was
edited by Mylene at all.  Since she already handed off to someone else
and doesn't know who the current maintainer is anymore, and since there
are no newer versions, I think it'd be okay if you took over maintenance
of this one, unless anyone else knows something I don't!

If someone eventually steps up and says he/she was supposed to be the
maintainer we can let them know what happened.

Dear All,

Something will have to be done about this.  How about splitting up this
document into multiple HOWTOs?

Tille.

The document is very out of date and I do not have time to maintain it.
In fact I never really wanted to maintain it, just to update a section and
the previous maintainer dumped it on me!!!

I actually think it is too big a subject for a HOWTO and should be deprecated.

cheers
