Re: Ldap HOWTO's content proposition

[Poet/Joshua Drake <poet@linuxports.com>]

Hello,

I have not been following this thread to much but this last email
interested me. One of the problems I see with the HOWTOs is that they are
too separated.

For example, IP-Chains, IP-MASQ, VPN-MASQ, 

All of these should be one HOWTO IMHO. One of the first complaints I get
when I talk to someone about Linuxdoc is that they love the site but hate
that they always have to refer to "Another HOWTO" once they get into the
technology.

Another example, Networking-Overview and my document the Networking-HOWTO.
These should be together as should the PPP-HOWTO but that would make for a
very large document.

I would say as long as the information is relevant to the HOWTO and the
HOWTO is under... 100 pages? That we don't break it up?

Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," 
start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
