this classification is obsolete, for lack of reviewer. In fact we have
to put these document in the page (Page_Status) and copy them to the
wiki if the author/licence allows
This is a hudge task. I think it's not really proritary, in the
"draft" document, I planned to use the hole 2009 year to this task
(it's of little interest to put a HOWTO online without some work on it)
I'm working with Greg on the export wiki->docbook->static Web site and
it sems to be fairly simple - more soon. after that we be able to work
on the wiki and export to static, we don't have to do so very often.

I simply don't understand why this file have a "php" extension, it's
plain html!
If nobody complain right now, I will change it to man.html (but will
need to verufy all the links are updated, should not be difficult)

in fact, http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/ seems to be an old LDP
home site - some files are as old as 1993!! probably good only as history?
anyway I keep a copy (wget)
may be we should ask ibiblio to remove them?

yes and no. Yes it's intended, but I think some week ago this site was
to be openned??
