-
- <sect>What Are Linux HOWTOs?
- <p>
- Linux HOWTOs are documents which describe in detail
- a certain aspect of configuring or using Linux. For
- example, there is the <em/Installation HOWTO/, which gives
- instructions on installing Linux, and the <em/Mail HOWTO/, which
- describes how to set up and configure mail under Linux.
- Other examples include the <em/NET2 HOWTO/ and the
- <em/Printing HOWTO/.
-
- HOWTOs are comprehensive docs - much like an FAQ but generally not
- in question-and-answer format. However, many HOWTOs contain an FAQ
- section at the end.
-
- There are several HOWTO formats available: plain text, PostScript,
- DVI, and HTML.
-
- In addition to the HOWTOs, there are a multitude of mini-HOWTOs.
- These are short, specific HOWTOs, such as the <em/Colour-ls mini-HOWTO/.
- They are only available in plain text format.
-
-
- <sect>Where Do I Get Linux HOWTOs?

- <sect>HOWTO Project Developement
- <sect1>Wanted HOWTOs and mini-HOWTOs
- <p>
- If you are interested in writing about any of these subject, please get
- in touch with me at <tt><htmlurl url="mailto:gregh@sunsite.unc.edu"
- name="gregh@sunsite.unc.edu"></tt>.
-
- <itemize>
- <item><em>Notebook HOWTO</em> or <em>Notebook mini-HOWTO</em>.
- A guide to notebooks - information about power management, LCD displays,
- video controlers, pointers to related material (PCMCIA-HOWTO), and most
- anything pertaining to notebooks.
-
- <item>If you have an idea for another HOWTO or mini-HOWTO, please
- get in touch.
- </itemize>
-
- <sect1>HOWTOs Currently Under Construction
- <p>
- <itemize>
- <item>A <em>Parallel Processing HOWTO</em> (multiprocessor and parallel processing support for Linux) (6 June 1996).
-
- <item>An <em/Information Services HOWTO/ is being written
- (5 March 1996).
-
- <item>A <em/Microchannel Bus mini-HOWTO/ is under construction
- (17 March 1996).
-
- <item>A <em/Disk HOWTO/ about disks, partitions, swap space,
- formatting, filesystems, etc is under construction.
-
- </itemize>
-
- <sect1>Writing and Submitting a HOWTO
- <p>
- If you would like to write a Linux HOWTO document, there are a few
- guidelines that you should follow.
-
- <itemize>
- <item><bf>Get in touch with me first</bf>, and let me know you want to
- work on something. You can reach me at
- <tt><htmlurl url="mailto:gregh@sunsite.unc.edu"
- name="gregh@sunsite.unc.edu"></tt>.
-
- <item>Try to use meaningful structure and organization, and write
- clearly. Remember that many of the people reading HOWTOs do not
- speak English as their first language.
-
- <item>If you are writing a HOWTO, you <em/must/ use the Linuxdoc-SGML
- package, available from <tt>sunsite.unc.edu:/pub/Linux/utils/text/</tt>,
- to format the HOWTO. This package allows us to produce LaTeX (for DVI
- and PostScript), plain text, and HTML from a single source document,
- and was designed by Matt Welsh specifically for the HOWTOs. This also
- gives all of the HOWTOs a uniform look.
-
- <item>If you are writing a mini-HOWTO, you can use any form you wish.
- mini-HOWTOs are meant to be short, free-form HOWTOs on very specific
- subjects. In general, these should be quick to write and maintain, so
- it's not worth bothering with the Linuxdoc-SGML package. This does
- not mean that the mini-HOWTOs are any less important! Only plain text
- versions of mini-HOWTOs are distributed.
-
- <item>Make sure that all of the information is correct. I can't
- stress this enough. When in doubt, speculate, but make it clear that
- you're only guessing.
-
- <item>Make sure that you are covering the most recent version of the
- available software. Also, be sure to include full instructions
- on where software can be downloaded from (FTP site name, full
- pathname), and the current version number and release date of the
- software.
-
- <item>Include an FAQ section at the end, if appropriate. Many HOWTO
- documents need an ``FAQ'' or ``Common Problems'' section to cover
- information which can't be covered in the regular text.
-
- <item>Use other HOWTOs as a model. The SGML source to the HOWTOs is
- available on Linux FTP sites.
-
- <item>Lastly, be prepared to receive questions and comments about
- your writing. There are several hundreds of accesses to the
- HOWTO collection every day from around the world!
- </itemize>
-
- After you have written the HOWTO, mail it to me.
- If you used Linuxdoc-SGML, simply
- mail me the SGML source; I take care of formatting the documents.
- I'll also take care of archiving the HOWTOs on <tt/sunsite.unc.edu/
- and posting them to the various newsgroups.
-
- It is <em/important/ that you go through me when submitting a HOWTO, as
- I maintain the archives and need to keep track of what HOWTOs
- are being written and who is doing what.
-
- Then, all you have to do is send me periodic updates whenever
- appropriate.
-
