Submitting documentation

[Thom van der Boon <th...@vdb.nl>]

Hi,

I've had my share with trouble on compiling Apache with SSL support on Win32. I noted that the current documentation misses some key parts on compiling Apache on Win32 with SSL support. Due to lack of time, I would like to input a updated version of the current documentation, with notes on how to compile it with SSL support. Unfortunatly I am not able to become a "full submitting" member of the Apache Documentation Project. The required changes in the documentation are quite substantial, so input through the Bugzilla system is not my prefered choice.

Could somebody inform me on how to submit my notes, without becoming a member of the Apache Documentation Project. 

Many thanks

Thom,

  all of the .html files are created from the xml sources.  Simply take
the last .xml file and use diff to compare the changes between the older
version and your new one.

  Realize it's alot faster for us to compare the add/change/deletes of
a document than to review the entire document from scratch.  That's
why the simplest set of changes is always best.  E.g. don't try to
improve everything in one patch; change everything related to one
issue so we can review it quickly, address it, and then change another
issue.

  We will consider complete rewrites, but they consume alot of time,
so you shouldn't expect the group to react quite as quickly.

  The diff and patch utilities can be found at http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/
while the current win_compiling.xml can be found at

http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/platform/win_compiling.xml

Submit a 'patch'

	http://httpd.apache.org/dev/patches.html

Essentiallially, asuming apache-1.3 was a virgin version and
apache-1.3-mychanges was your fixed version do:

	diff -ru apache-1.3/docs apache-1.3-mychanges/docs > file.txt

And then mail the resulting file to this list. Make sure the subject has
the '[PATCH]' prefix.

Dw.
