It's true that Stas has done a wonderful job for those 2.0 docs, which shouldn't be neglected.
Don't forget that Doug wrote the initial major part. I'm writing on top of his work.
However we don't have such reference docs for 1.0, so that might be useful. And I'm sure we could make the 2 docs co-exist happily.
And as I said before, 2.0 docs are *the* priority now. 1.0 docs may be not perfect, but they are sure thing covering most of the material. 2.0 docs are scarce and very soon the rate of 2.0 questions on the list will rocket and I prefer to reply with RTFM URLs and create new things at the saved time, rather than waste time and write explicit replies.
But one thing's for sure, we're proud of our docs and don't want to replace them :-)
Actually our motives have nothing to do with the proud (in case that you've missed the smiley in Per Einar's comment).
The problem is that everybody and their mom comes to ask questions at the modperl list. When the documentation is forked it becomes extremely hard to help those users who read their info in various places, not talking about how hard it makes for users to choose what source to read.
Therefore we apply a big effort to have a *single* source of documentation which satisfies the major mass and we are absolutely open to contributions from others and looking forward to these. The only requirement we have is that we fit the contributions into the docs core as we find appropriate, and may reject certain contributions, because we happen to intimately know the layout of the docs, the logic behind these docs, what areas are already covered and what material is out of scope. Not talking about the huge amount of time we put into creating the infrastructure.
I hope you understand that we act in the interests of the whole community and not going after our proud. I'm looking forward to delegate all those docs that I wrote and maintain to other people so I can move on doing other things, so if you feel that you know certain areas of mod_perl quite well feel free to take over these or simply help working on these.
