Is there any subject matter expert willing to have quick look at the Samba chapter (Chapter 18)? For example in Chapter 18.5.1 it says to install " libpam-smbpass" which disappeared sometime during the 16.04 cycle and doesn't seem to exist anymore. ...

Maybe it is time for radical changes. We don't get contributions so why are we so concerned about translations? Translations of what? To be honest, I favour pruning guide to bare essentials, changing what's left to Markdown, and going from there. Putting it all in a git tree on Launchpad would be but a detail.

Any chance of switching to a lp git tree? :) IMHO, having to write XML against bzr holds us back. I'd write the content without worrying about the format. If we end up in the position of having the content only unpublished because it's in the wrong format, then that's a good problem to have :) (and also a relatively easy thing to delegate) Robie signature.asc Description: Digital signature -- ubuntu-server mailing list ubuntu-server@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server More info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam

Well, we have been at least been fixing bug reports, and led by Ted Cox, there was an effort to catch up on bug reports before be needed to split 14.04 out of the trunk branch a few months ago. So translations of that, such as it is. Out of the more than 60 languages we publish only 3, French, Russian, and Italian, keep translations somewhat up to date. We have had comments from some others that, for serverguide, they prefer English. If we want to toss translations from the workflow, we should at least solicit input from the 3 that actually translate. > To be honest, I favour pruning guide to bare essentials, > changing what's left to Markdown, and going from there. > Putting it all in a git tree on Launchpad would be but a detail.

And if a move to Markdown is the target, then why not migrate the Markdown result to the lp:git repository in the process ? Keep the bzr branch XML formatted doc as the reference of where we are, and the lp:git Markdown migrated doc as where we want to go. Keep bzr modifications to a minimum so the delta remains small and by the time we have a complete Markdown version of the document, we will have migrated to lp:git.

I would put in Chapter 14 - File Servers as section 2, bumping the others down. It could refer to Chapter 6 - Section 1 - OpenSSH Server. And then the nonexistent destination reference(s) in Chapter 14 - Section 1 FTP Server (one of two copied below): "If you are looking to transfer files securely see SFTP in the section on OpenSSH-Server." could be changed to point to an actual useful reference.
