John Fisk has "sold" his creature to Linux Journal. It will be partly
printed on paper and partly on the web.
At least the part on the web can be debianized easily. Please don't make
him a "king's bible" or a "jargon", I mean a package that includes
everything (and you don't want to download it if you have to pay for
every byte, like me :-( ).
If you want you can use the "journal-dev" package that I have made. It
is quite primitive, but we can let it grow.
Its major advantage is the dinamic building of the index, that allows
installation/disinstallation of each issue in every order, leaving a TOC
as a cookie even after disinstallation.

I think we have to wait for an agreement on where to put the webspace in
the fs. (see thread on this list)
Anyway I think that to run a web server only to browse documents is too
much. The "file" pseudo-protocol is usefull for that purpose.
But if we need CGI ...

Lars Wirzenius is definitely working on this: see the dwww package.
It does not build a hierarchy for you, I think. This is something that
must be discussed. It is also a server dependent matter.
