the colinux howto

Used the forums to build it.
Comment 2 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-25 08:48:13 UTC
Thanks for the HOWTO. I've changed the following stuff:

- Changed the "new windows daemon" to "windows daemon" so that the guide doesn't get obsoleted after a week :) 
- <warn>'s should have <body> as parent, not <p>
- Changed some sequence of <impo> ... <note> to <p> ... </p> (we don't want to have our documents be named "colorbooks". Use <note>/<impo>/<warn> sporadically
- <pre>'s should have <body> as parent, not <p>
- <ul>'s should have <body> as parent, not <p>
- Applied coding style
- Use plural (we recommend) instead of single (I recommend). This makes the document be more integrated and "official" :)
- Fixed some language issues
- Changed the comments inside the xml code listings to be <!-- ... -->


Apart from that, nice howto. I'm just waiting for some "yes"'es from the other authors to place the doc under cc-by-sa before I'll link it.
Comment 3 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-04-26 05:52:12 UTC
janlaur already agrees on it:
"""
Yes you can publish it.
It's always nicer to have a official guide, and i would be proud to be part of that
"""

Still waiting for the other acknowledgment.

I seem to be unable to contact IWBCMAN on the forums, I'll try a couple of times more. Without his approval I cannot put the document under the cc-by-sa license.

Okay, got it.
