(Starting
with mor_perl 2)... I'm toying with the idea of starting the porting tutorial, but I want to make sure it's written well for clueless people (which I probably still at least half count as :-)) and with accurate content.
porting or starting? We already have a porting guide: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/porting/porting.html
a porting reference: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/porting/compat.html
Right - I read it, and it's reference. It's not a good guide. A guide should start with the basics. The mp_1 guide is one of the most beautiful pieces of electronic documentation in existance! It should be a book (I know: practical mod_perl) Seriously though - the guide is what personally turned me on to mod_perl, but the above two documents make me shiver and stay the hell away from mp_2. What's needed is a good friendly piece of documentation to get people moving... to mp_2
Certainly. Just remember that the guide is 4 years old. The 2.0 docs are a few months old. So all we need is to make it better.
and even getting started: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/intro/start_fast.html
Will look at it shortly - Let's not bite off more than we can chew in one mouthful.
I'd suggest to improve these docs where approapriate and start a new doc
only
if it really doesn't fit into the existing docs.
I'm just not sure if it *does* fit...
Let's see what you come up with and we can decides whether it fits or not. The idea is to avoid forks and have people collaborate on the single best source of documentation, rather than private projects. Private projects could be good, but given the complexity of mod_perl, having a good single source of documentation is a great boon for its acceptance.
