The Subversion repository could - for now - be used for documentation that is not autobuild anyway. I will use it for the Debian reference card (refcard), which is build manually. Cheers, -- W.

But you could ask for one in association with the Alioth DDP project (I don't believe klecker has any SVN repos yet). The Alioth DDP project currently does have a CVS repository although there is no SVN repository yet (at least not in use IIRC). The only issue (already discussed in the list) related to Alitoh would be automatic building of that document and publishing of documents in the website. If a SVN repo is added we need to change stuff in order to have the servers that build the DDP CVS build from the SVN repo too. That requires intervention from the debian-admin group...

They often have trouble converting from the linux 2.4.18-bf24 kernel to a modular kernel such as 2.6.8-2-686 due to missing drivers in the new modular kernel. Recommending to them to install the discover and hotplug packages usually solves their problems. The pertinent release notes are here: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/i386/release-notes/ch-information.en.html#s-upgrade-to-2.6 Please add a suggestion that users install the discover and hotplug packages. I believe this would help users significantly. Here is some suggested prose: Users upgrading from a non-modular bootstrapping linux kernel such as the Woody installer boot-floppies 2.4.18-bf24 kernel may need to specify driver modules to be loaded for their hardware when upgrading to the newer moduler 2.6 series kernel. The 'discover' and 'hotplug' packages are useful to detect hardware and to automatically load the required modules. It is recommended to install those packages prior to upgrading to a linux 2.6 kernel. The 'udev' package is also useful in conjunction with the linux 2.6 kernel the /dev directory. But see the warnings below in the section "Switching to 2.6 may activate udev" for more detail.

However, more and more documents in and for Debian are in fact written using DocBook/XML. My plea is to officially allow DocBook/XML. (My personal reasons for preferring DocBook/XML: - more mainstream, used by many large projects - easy to generate *roff manual pages - good-looking PDFs using db2latex-xsl - I can use Emacs nxml-mode - WYSIWYG addicts can use the non-free editor XXE - supports images, tables, etc. - relatively good support for many languages YMMV, of course) What do you think?
