The next Server Guide will therefore land with Ubuntu 14.04. We also discussed ways to increase the level of user contributions. See the blueprint for details.

Re: Blueprint: Ubuntu Server Guide development (LTS only)
Hi, Although I don't run a server myself, I really like this idea. Sticking to stability saves us a lot of effort. On 2013? 07? 16? 10:46, William Van Hevelingen wrote: +1 I think this a great idea.

I run all LTS servers and I often just look at the most recent serverguide for up to date stuff because the LTS one is usually missing 6+ months of fixes. Thanks for your feedback William. The hope is that we _will_ be backporting fixes to old LTS guides in batches (I'm personally committed to doing this). All we need are reported bugs. I'm going to rescind on my chosen terminology of 'Rolling Release' as I've been informed that this may be misleading due to the raucous caused during the Ubuntu rolling release proposal. Re XML, I'm not aware of changing away from this format. However, I'm supposed to be testing an XML client that might make peoples' lives easier.

I've had great success with xmlmind and it's what I used to write the multipath chapter. I tried numerous clients (can't recall) leading up to this choice, none of them came close. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DocBookEditors peter matulis -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam
