| Apache HTTP Server 2.0 Documentation Status File. |
| |
| If you are interested in helping accomplish some of the tasks on this |
| list or otherwise improving the documentation, please join the |
| apache-docs mailing list by mailing to |
| apache-docs-subscribe@apache.org |
| |
| - man pages |
| - Some of the man pages need to be updated for 2.0. At least |
| the httpd man page appears to be outdated, and perhaps other. |
| After this is done, the manual/programs/ versions can be |
| regenerated. |
| |
| - XHTML conversion |
| Status: James A Sutherland <jas88@cam.ac.uk> was going |
| to spearhead this, but we haven't heard anything |
| lately. Some work is still needed |
| to determine what the SSIs should look like. |
| |
| - MPM documentation |
| - Each MPM needs to have a documentation file in manual/mod/ |
| which lists the directives it provides, and some details |
| about its operation. |
| Status: Initial outlines done. Much more details need to be |
| filled in. |
| - Non unix/windows MPMs still need to be completed. |
| - perchild MPM needs some docs. |
| |
| - Merging of changes in 1.3. |
| - There have been many changes in the 1.3 docs which haven't |
| been propagated into 2.0. |
| Things which need to be merged: ??? |
| |
| - Cleaning. |
| - We could use a list of all the docs that can be axed out of 2.0 |
| because they are redundant or irrelevant. |
| Status: |
| Some suggestions on files to axe. Feel free to comment. |
| manual/cgi-path.html (should be documented in mod_cgi.html instead) |
| manual/process-model.html (documented in MPMs, eventually) |
| platform/perf-* (are these relevant anymore?) |
| |
| |
| - Individual docs will need some cleanup. |
| Status: What docs still need to be touched here? |
| - invoking.html has had a first-pass cleaning done. |
| - misc/perf-tuning.html - needs major rewrite for 2.0 |
| - misc/FAQ.html - some old questions could be remove |
| - is a new format in order? |
| - misc/tutorials.html - mostly not relevant to 2.0 |
| - misc/stopping.html |
| - dso.html |
| - misc/rewriteguide.html - needs cleaning in 1.3 and 2.0 |
| - misc/known_client_problems.html - mostly ancient |
| - howto/* - some syntax has changed in 2.0 due to |
| filtering and mod_cgid |
| |
| - New build process. |
| - The new build process is autoconf based, so manual/install.html |
| will need to be completely rewritten. Someone with enough |
| patience could probably figure out most of the important stuff |
| by trial and error. |
| Status: Ryan's "Building and Installing Apache 2.0" might be |
| a starting place. |
| |
| - Documentation of new features. |
| - This will probably require more input from new-httpd, since |
| not many people here follow the development process close |
| enough to know what is going on. |
| Status: Ryan has two ApacheToday articles which may be useful |
| for this. |
| New features which need documentation: |
| - filters !!! |
| |
| - Translations |
| Status: ??? |
