Apache Quick Reference Guide
Actually quite neat. Warrants a link from the home/docs page I'd say.

It was done with LaTeX (both hand-written and generated with Perl), a
specialized LaTeX class file, customized fonts, PSTricks and page
rearrangement with pstops. Its basicly how I generated the
camera-ready copy for "Spinning the Web" (ITP, London and VNR, New
York, 1994) with some later refinement.
BTW I had thought of discussing the reference card on the apache-docs
mailing list but that seems more or less moribund.

Since my last message where I said:
Also I have an Apache quick reference card that I wrote in September
1996 for 1.2beta! It is written in LaTeX for for European A4 and US
letter paper in two-sided, triplefold format (the individual pages are
manipulated with pstops). I need to update it for 1.3 but the group
is welcome to that too as a contribution to the documentation effort.
I have updated the card (as you know). However most of the text is
now extracted from a database (which is why there are a few
typographical glitches). The LaTeX source now consists of a main
LaTeX file, a class file, a couple of included files for CGI, SSI and
HTTP code details and 125 automatically generated included files --
one for each of the directives.
As I may want to do other things with the contents of the database I
want to retain control of that at the moment, so I am quite happy to
donate a snapshot (or a series of snapshots over time) of the LaTeX
sources under the Apache copyright but I don't know whether that is of
much use if I continually update the database.
The group is still welcome to "cronolog" without any strings attached.
In turn I have a request of the group: may I have permission to
include the Apache documentation logo (htdocs/manual/images/sub.gif)
at the top of the card? Converted to EPS and spanning the first
column it looks quite good.
What copyright and license terms apply to the logos?

...into the apache distribution.
I forgot to add the URL of the cronolog program:
<URL:http://www.ford-mason.co.uk/resources/cronolog/>

Oops! Forget that last mail. I had pulled a copy two weeks ago when it
was still in flux.
So, +1 to reference it (or even add it to the distribution if Andrew
allows it?). Andrew is very cooperative with his license, he offered in
the past to adapt it to the APL if the group wishes to incorporate, e.g.,
his cronolog program (which I would propose because it's very useful).

No it doesn't. I printed it out and it says Revision 1.3.0-0.1 (draft)
for Apache 1.3.0 and it is excellent. I am trying to grok how I can do
something similar for PHP.

You're talking about Andrew Ford's document, right?
The one at <URL:http://www.ford-mason.co.uk/resources/apache-refcard/>.
+1 (but could be updated for 1.3.0)
(It still says "Revision 0.5 (Draft) for Apache version 1.1.1, though it
describes a couple of features which appeared in 1.2 only if I remember
correctly).

I haven't fully looked at it yet, because viewing postscript on the screen
sucks and I didn't print it, but I would almost suggest that, author
willing, it could warrant more.
