Today is the 9th, for a little while longer. Tarballs for 2.8.0 are due
on Monday, the 13th. I’m sure everybody is very excited, and rightly so.
But perhaps you find yourself thinking, “Gee, there’s not much to do this
late in the release cycle. I should just kick back and take a well-earned
break, but I can’t. I’m bored!â€? If so, I have a solution: HELP ME.
Currently, I have maintainer approval to commit the following documents,
but have not yet committed new documentation:
- Bug Buddy Manual
- Character Map Manual
- Eye of GNOME Manual
- Disk Mounter Applet Manual
- Geyes Applet Manual
- Inbox Monitor Applet Manual
- Keyboard Layout Switcher Applet Manual
- Modem Lights Applet Manual
- Sticky Notes Applet Manual
- Stock Ticker Applet Manual
- System Monitor Applet Manual
- Volume Control Applet Manual
- Weather Report Applet Manual
- Wireless Link Monitor Applet Manual
- Network Manual Applet Manual
- GNOME PDF Viewer Manual
The following manuals appear either maintainerless or ostensibly maintained by
the GDP, but I haven’t heard back from the package maintainers:
- File Roller Manual
- GNOME Ghostview Manual
- Aisleriot Manual
- Glines Manual
- Gnect Manual
- Gnometris Manual
- Iagno Manual
- GNOME Klotski Manual
- Mahjongg Manual
- GNOME Mines Manual
- Gnibbles Manual
- GNOME Robots Manual
- Same-GNOME Manual
- GNOME Stones Manual
- Gtali Manual
- GNOME Tetravex Manual
- Clock Applet Manual
- Fish Applet Manual
- System Monitor Manual
- Dictionary Manual
- Floppy Formatter Manual
- Search for Files Manual
- System Log Manual
- GNOME Terminal Manual
We also still don’t have revisions in place for the User’s Guide and System
Administrator’s Guide. That’s 42 documents. Now you know the question.
I have contributed revisions for a number of these. Somebody has to look
them over, add some administrative DocBook crap, and commit them. So far,
that person is me. I don’t have contributions for all of them. Somebody
just has to update the documents.
If you’re feeling bored this weekend, please jump on IRC and give me a hand
in #docs. I could really use some help here.
