Well, I responded once, but I'll respond again. What are you trying to
do here? Is this a commercial venture for which you are looking for
authors? In what way is this different from the Apache documentation
itself? Will this be an interactive Q/A site, or are you just looking
for howto articles? Can you elaborate in any way on what you are trying
to accomplish?

Honestly, the easiest way to get people around here to help with something
is usually to just start doing it. People are more likely to jump in and
help on an existing effort than on something brand new.
I don't mean to say "don't bother asking, just go write them yourself"...
rather, I'm saying that if nobody happens to step up to the plate right
away, don't let that discourage you, and don't think that means we aren't
noticing your efforts. I look forward to seeing what you come up with!
:)

Cliff

I'm not trying to discourage you, but why not submit whatever howtos you
write to us for inclusion on http://httpd.apache.org/ itself (which you
yourself could even get commit access to after a certain amount of time)
rather than moving the howtos to an entirely new site?

I am absolutely interested in writing how-tos for newbies. That's pretty
much why I created the /howto/ subfolder of the Apache documentation in
the first place. You are welcome to mirror these documents - there's a
howto about mirroring the Apache site available, at
http://www.apache.org/info/how-to-mirror.html
If you find at some point that you're interested in working with the
documentation team, rather than in parallel to it, please let us know.
We're always glad to have new writers on board.
Thanks
Rich

This is a very good goal. It's the goal that I've had for the last
several years as a member of the documentation effort. We'd be delighted
to have this effort turned towards the official documentation, rather
than a parallel site, if you could see this as a valuable way to spend
your time. There's an ongoing effort to write howto-type documents,
which go in the /howto/ folder in the documentation
(http://httpd.apache.org/docs/howto/ and
http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/howto/) and there are already a few
docs in there in that style. We really do intend to gear the
documentation to the basic user - at least, I do - while having it also
cater to the advanced user by providing the gory details when
appropriate.
I don't want at all to disparage your effort. I tend to believe that we
can't have too much documentation. But I would like to respectfully
encourage you to redirect some of your effort towards the official docs,
at least insofar as telling us where and how they fail to meet the
objectives that you have set for your site, so that we can attempt to
rectify those shortcomings.
Thanks.

Thanks, though you still haven't answered the other questions. Is this a
commercial venture? In what way is this different from the Apache
