Like all alphas, this one needs a lot of attention: some things are missing, some things are confused, and some things are just plain wrong. But it sets a firm base upon which to build. Over the next 5 weeks, our collective job is to bring this up to beta level. I will be making separate posts tomorrow to keep things somewhat organized, but the general priority is this:
- Write the missing sections marked with an "Under construction" icon (e.g., Basic Use).
- Review, revise and correct Section 3 Configuration, perhaps most especially Network
- Review Section 2 Installation for accuracy and completeness (particularly Partitioning)
- Review Section 6 Advanced Use, especially on MX Advanced Apps
- Collect screencaptures to clarify the text (e.g., again, Partitions, where a video or two <cough> would be terrific)
- Begin to collect a few useful links for each topic, and review the ones that are there
The core team:
--I will serve as Managing Editor, with primary responsibility for the content.
--Gordon has good experience with Lyx (and LaTeX behind it), and will be responsible for the creation and maintenance of the pdf version, working on other aspects as time permits.
--SilverBear will be handling the html coding, where he has lots of experience (the Mepis 11 Manual is his work).
But we also need Community participation in the areas listed above. If anyone is interested in taking responsibility for a subarea (screencaptures, for example), that would be even better.
WIth all of us engaged, I look forward to the successful completion of this important MX Linux project.
