Apache HTTP Server 2.0 Documentation Status File.
Last modified: $Date: 2002/09/06 05:29:38 $
If you are interested in helping accomplish some of the tasks on this
list or otherwise improving the documentation, please join the
apache-docs mailing list by mailing to apache-docs-subscribe@apache.org
For more information on how to contribute to the Apache Documentation
Project, please see http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/, and
http://apache-server.com/tutorials/ATdocs-project.html for an excellent
tutorial on how to get started with making your contribution.
------------------------------
- XML
- The xsl transformations could be greatly improved to a) look better
and b) use proper CSS+html rather than the horrible hack that
Joshua did (in progress).
- Rewriting of the remainder of the manual into xml is in
progress. See the bottom of this file for status info.
- modules docs
- mod_suexec: very little documentation
- mod_proxy: updates for 2.0
- mod_status: updates for 2.0
- mod_example: updates for 2.0
- man pages
- Some of the man pages need to be updated for 2.0. At least
the httpd man page appears to be outdated, and perhaps other.
After this is done, the manual/programs/ versions can be
regenerated using the program in the site-tools repository.
- MPM documentation
- Each MPM needs to have a documentation file in manual/mod/
which lists the directives it provides, and some details
about its operation.
Status: Initial outlines done. Much more details need to be
filled in.
- Non unix/windows MPMs still need to be completed.
- the perchild directives in threaded/worker need docs
- Individual docs will need some cleanup.
Status: What docs still need to be touched here?
- misc/custom_errordocs.html needs to be updated to
essentially describe how the international error
docs included in 2.0 work
- misc/perf-tuning.html - needs major rewrite for 2.0
- misc/tutorials.html - mostly not relevant to 2.0
- misc/stopping.html
- misc/rewriteguide.html - needs cleaning in 1.3 and 2.0
- misc/known_client_problems.html - mostly ancient
- New build process.
- install.html has had a first-pass rewrite, but many things have
changed in the build system since it was written.
- Documentation of new features.
- This will probably require more input from new-httpd, since
not many people here follow the development process close
enough to know what is going on.
- API documentation
Status: Ben Laurie has written some hooks documentation
- Translations
There are several efforts underway to translate the documentation
into other languages. A detailed list of the currently known
translators (and the corresponding websites) can be found at
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-project/translations.html
New User documentation
======================
* Directory Handling (mod_dir/mod_autoindex/etc)
Documentation improvements
==========================
* Improving the "security docs"
- More content and better organisation.
* General cleaning and improving of module docs
* Making the directive definitions "less terse" (i.e., adding more
examples and details to the definitions of the directives)
- We'll need to audit these and find out which ones need munging, as
some of it looks ok. --jsl
* Making site-specific enhancements easier, including a documented
and robust way for 3P module docco to be added -- and have it
survive a server docco upgrade
- This could be something a simple and hackish as a manual/extra/
directory (a la the 1.3 src/modules/extra/ directory) and a
script in the support directory that scans the files there and
updates the manual indices. (We do something like that now for
httpd.conf file with apxs [LoadModule, etc.].)
* regex: We should at least document someplace what regex library we
are using and how to find more information about it
