| ------------------------------ | |
| Decisions pending | |
| ================= | |
| Things That Need Fixing | |
| ======================= | |
| - Windows platform docs are in desperate need of rewrites/updates for 2.x. | |
| - Bill Rowe and Bill Stoddard are good contacts for tech questions. | |
| - "using apache" has been done, "compiling apache" is still open | |
| - hints on uninstalling apache (exit monitor, close directories, | |
| registry entries etc) (PR 10154) | |
| - FAQ: UTF-8 config and URL encoding for non-ascii characters. | |
| - New Auth system | |
| - Much clean-up and enhancement of aaa howto | |
| - Independent note on how to upgrade to new auth system | |
| - modules docs | |
| - mod_suexec: very little documentation | |
| - mod_rewrite: explain, when which variables are actually available | |
| (PR 16402) | |
| - MPM documentation | |
| - explain what the following command line options do | |
| (perhaps in the developer/debugging docs): | |
| -D DEBUG | |
| -D ONE_PROCESS | |
| one-process-mode == no threads, i.e. only one | |
| process handling the requests in a single loop? | |
| - Individual docs will need some cleanup. | |
| - misc/rewriteguide.html - needs cleaning in 1.3 and 2.0 | |
| - platform/ebcdic.xml - needs major rework for 2.0 | |
| - API documentation | |
| - Ben Laurie has written some hooks documentation | |
| - authn provider API documentation could be useful | |
| - SSL docs need serious update and enhancement | |
| - compat docs are wrong | |
| - no basic how to setup ssl doc | |
| mads said he was working on this, but... | |
| - How does <Proxy> fit into sections.html? | |
| Documentation improvements | |
| ========================== | |
| * Missing documentation for the support program checkgid | |
| * New user docs: Directory Handling (mod_dir/mod_autoindex/etc) | |
| (draft available in wiki) | |
| * Enhancements to the DTD/XSL: | |
| - New index: directives by context, including listing which directives | |
| are available for each AllowOverride setting. | |
| - New index: backout modules by type (aaa, mappers, loggers etc.) | |
| probably by introducing a <category> element in modulesynopsis | |
| - Use a tag like <var> in place of <em> for things like the | |
| <syntax> listing. | |
| - in progress | |
| - add letter links to glossary and quickreference, | |
| perhaps also a term overview (sidebar) | |
| - remove <pre> elements. Use <br /> and <indent> elements to get | |
| a similar effect. | |
| * Improving the documentation of the documentations' build system | |
| itself (requirements, procedures) | |
| * Improving the "security docs" | |
| - More content and better organisation | |
| - mod_dav ressources are owned by the httpd | |
| * Provide example solutions for the mapping of encodings, especially | |
| for .gz etc. (also in regard to our default configuration) | |
| * Change the name 'Apache' to 'Apache HTTP Server' or 'http'. | |
| LaTeX Todo list | |
| ================== | |
| - Dozens of other little problems with presentation, cross-referencing, | |
| etc. | |
| - Cleanup xsl to make it more readable. Almost everything | |
| that is currently in latex.xsl should probably be moved to common.xsl. | |
| There may be a license problem with the atbeginend.sty file, since | |
| latex style files rarely have explict licenses. At worst, we can | |
| drop this and manually adjust the relevant spacing. | |
| - Reduce the size of the pdf (both bytes and pages) in any way possible. | |
| - Translations. |
