Hi, It is great to have squeeze released and web pages in the new design. It is not secret that Debian documentation pages can be reorganized to make more important things to be more accessible. I would like to update their content, now. Key actions(first phase): == http://www.debian.org/doc/ == This is our main page targeted to the "READER". It must be kept not to clutter any more but add direct access to other important pages directly. For "Manuals specific to Debian", <h4> items under it: * "Users' manuals", * "Developers' manuals", and * "Miscellaneous manuals" shall have direct link to * http://www.debian.org/doc/user-manuals , * http://www.debian.org/doc/devel-manuals , and * http://www.debian.org/doc/misc-manuals . "The complete list of Debian manuals and other documentation can be found at the Debian Documentation Project web pages": this should be moved up just under "Manuals specific to Debian" and rephrased. There should be quick link to SVN access page for prospectus translator etc. That should be in the second phase change when updating cvs.wml. There should be as big link to "book" as "FAQ". == http://www.debian.org/doc/ddp == This should be made to our main page targeted to the "CONTRIBUTOR". The useless list of "Problematic manuals" should be removed from this page. The link from "Problematic manuals" should go directly to http://www.debian.org/doc/obsolete and it should be called "Obsolete and incomplete manuals" instead. This can get more contents but that will be in the second phase since it may have some side effects. == http://www.debian.org/doc/obsolete == This content has few bugs. It needs to be cleaned and status needed to be updated while including information from the old list of "Problematic manuals" in http://www.debian.org/doc/ddp . I attach proposed change as files: index.wml ddp.wml obsolete.wml If no one object, I will commit them to english/doc directory. I think todo.wml and topics.wml should be removed. Their updated contents needs to be moved to wiki.debian.org and links need to be retargeted. This should be done in the second phase. Objection? Regards, Osamu
#use wml::debian::template title="Documentation"
<p>An important part of any operating system is documentation, the technical
manuals that describe the operation and use of programs. As part of its efforts
to create a high-quality free operating system, the Debian Project is making
every effort to provide all of its users with proper documentation in an
easily accessible form.</p>
<h2>Quick start</h2>
<p>If you are <em>new</em> to Debian we recommend you start first by
reading:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="$(HOME)/releases/stable/installmanual">Installation Guide</a></li>
<li><a href="manuals/debian-faq/">Debian GNU/Linux FAQ</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Do have these at hand when you make your first Debian installation, it
will probably answer many questions and help you work with your new Debian
system. Later you might want to go through:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="manuals/debian-reference/">Debian Reference</a></li>
<li><a href="$(HOME)/releases/stable/releasenotes">Release Notes</a>,
for people who are upgrading</li>
<li><a href="http://wiki.debian.org/";>Debian Wiki</a>, a good source
of information for newcomers</li>
</ul>
<p>Finally, make sure you print out and have at hand the <a
href="http://tangosoft.com/refcard/";>Debian GNU/Linux Reference
Card</a>, a listing of the most important commands for Debian systems.</p>
<p>If you want to start developing packages for Debian we recommend
you go through:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="manuals/maint-guide/">Debian New Maintainers' Guide</a></li>
<li><a href="manuals/developers-reference/">Debian Developer's Reference</a></li>
</ul>
<p>There is a fair bit of other documentation listed below.</p>
<h2>Types of documentation</h2>
<p>Most of the documentation included in Debian was written for GNU/Linux
in general. There is also some documentation written specifically for Debian.
These documents come in these basic categories:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="#manuals">Manuals</a></li>
<li><a href="#howtos">Generic HOWTOs</a></li>
<li><a href="#faqs">FAQs</a></li>
<li><a href="#books">Books</a></li>
<li><a href="#other">other shorter documents</a></li>
</ul>
<h3 id="manuals">Manuals</h3>
<p>The manuals resemble books, because they comprehensively describe major
topics.</p>

<h3>Manuals for GNU/Linux in general</h3>
<p>Some of the most popular Linux documents and manuals are
<a href="http://www.tldp.org/LDP/gs/gs.html";>Linux Installation and
Getting Started</a>,
<a href="http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/linux-doc-project/users-guide/";>\
Linux Users' Guide</a>,
<a href="http://www.tldp.org/LDP/nag/nag.html";>Network Administrators'
Guide</a>,
<a href="http://www.tldp.org/LDP/sag/";>System Administrator's
Guide</a>, and others.</p>
<p>Linux documentation is coordinated through the efforts of the
<a href="http://www.tldp.org/";>Linux Documentation Project</a> (LDP).
You can find the full set of LDP manuals
<a href="http://www.tldp.org/guides.html";>at their web pages</a>, along
with a lot of other documentation, both in electronic and printed form.</p>
<h3 id="howtos">HOWTOs</h3>
<p>The <a href="http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto";>HOWTO
documents</a>, like their name says, describe <em>how to</em> do
something, and they usually cover a more specific subject.</p>
<p>Some of the most important Linux HOWTOs are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Hardware-HOWTO/";>Hardware
Compatibility HOWTO</a>,</li>
<li><a href="http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Unix-and-Internet-Fundamentals-HOWTO/";>\

doc-linux-text</a> and
<a href="http://packages.debian.org/stable/doc/doc-linux-html";>\
doc-linux-html</a> packages.</p>
# TODO: make a note about the translated doc-linux-* packages...
<h3 id="faqs">FAQs</h3>
<p>FAQ stands for <em>frequently asked questions</em>. A FAQ is a document
which answers those questions.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.tldp.org/FAQ/Linux-FAQ/";>Linux FAQ</a>
contains information regarding Linux in general.</p>
<p>Questions specifically related to Debian are answered in the
<a href="FAQ/">Debian FAQ</a>.
There is also a separate <a href="../CD/faq/">FAQ about Debian CD/DVD
images</a>.</p>
<p>Please see the <a href="http://www.tldp.org/FAQ/";>LDP FAQ
index</a> for more information.</p>
<h3 id="books">Books</h3>
<p>There are also several user-oriented manuals written for Debian GNU/Linux,
available as <a href="books">printed books</a>.</p>
<h3 id="other">Other, shorter documents</h3>
<p>The following documents include quicker, shorter instructions:</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong><a href="http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#man";>manual pages</a></strong></dt>
<dd>Traditionally, all Unix programs are documented with <em>manual
pages</em>, reference manuals made available through the <tt>man</tt>
command. They usually aren't meant for beginners. You can
search for and read the manual pages available in Debian
in <a href="http://manpages.debian.net/";>http://manpages.debian.net/</a>.
</dd>
<dt><strong><a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/index.html";>info files</a></strong></dt>
<dd>Many GNU software is documented through <em>info
files</em> instead of manual pages. These files include detailed
information of the program itself, options and example usage
and are available through the <tt>info</tt>
command.
</dd>
<dt><strong>various README files</strong></dt>
<dd>The <em>read me</em> files are also common — they are simple text
files that describe a single item, usually a package. You can find
a lot of these in the <tt>/usr/share/doc/</tt> subdirectories on
your Debian system. Each software package has a subdirectory
under it with its own read me files, and might also include
configuration examples. Notice that, for larger programs, documentation
is typically provided in a separate package (same name as the
original package, but ending in <em>-doc</em>).
</dd>
<dt><strong>quick reference cards</strong></dt>
<dd>
<p>Quick reference cards are very short summaries of a certain
(sub)system. Usually, such a reference card provides the mostly
used commands on a single piece of paper. Some notable reference
cards and collections include:</p>
<dl>
<dt><a href="http://tangosoft.com/refcard/";>Debian
GNU/Linux Reference Card</a></dt>
<dd>This card, that can be printed out in a single paper,
provides a list of the most important commands and is
a good reference for new users of Debian that want to
familiarise with them. At least basic knowledge of computer,
files, directories and the command line is required.
Novice users might want to read the
<a href="user-manuals#quick-reference">Debian Reference</a>
first.</dd>
<dt><a href="http://refcards.com/";>refcards.com</a></dt>
<dd>A collection of quick reference cards focused mainly on
Free and Open Source Software</dd>
<dt><a href="http://www.digilife.be/quickreferences/quickrefs.htm";>Quick Reference Cards</a></dt>
<dd>A collection of quick reference cards for the most popular
programs and programming languages</dd>
