Tables format well automatically in HTML, but not in PDF. Edits were done to the 4 tables to fix the PDF
version while not effecting the HTML. This also eliminated table related warning messages during PDF
generation. Also fixed bug 390935. See accepted mp+96904.

Text that crosses over a box boundary (typically <screen>) doesn't look good and can also be truncated
and lost in the PDF version. Edits are in progress to fix. Estimate 3 or 4 Merge proposals total.
See also Bugs: 510519, 674861 (duplicate), 680392. These edits also will reduce or eliminate border
violation warnings during PDF generation. Status below in same format as above:

The Ubuntu Server Guide project is part of System Documentation and, as such, everything that has been written on that topic applies equally here. Follow the above links to understand the process of contributing to Ubuntu System Documentation.

The purpose of this page is to organize contributions made to the Server Guide for the upcoming Ubuntu release. It is also cool to see what other people are up to. Subscribe to this page!

Here are the different ways to contribute, in order of priority:

  1. Review of existing material on a technical and style level.

  2. Extension of existing material (significant amount of new information, possibly new sub-chapter) or an entirely new chapter. Let me know of your intentions.

There is a Discussion section at the bottom if you feel a topic is missing or if you have some other idea for improvement.

Useful links:

Kickstart

Here are some sample core commands for someone (local user john with a Launchpad id of johnlpid) wishing to review sub-chapter 6.1 (OpenLDAP section under Network Authentication chapter) for Ubuntu 12.10. Please do read up on what they do; it's all explained in the links at the top of the page.

Change text in the below commands to fit your own situation (ex: do not paste in 6.1 if you're not reviewing 6.1).

1. Get the repository

sudo apt-get install bzr docbook docbook-xsl xsltproc libxml2-utils yelp-tools
mkdir ~/sguide-1210
cd ~/sguide-1210
bzr branch lp:serverguide serverguide-review-6.1

2. Review and edit the material (a little bit at a time)

cd serverguide-review-6.1
vi serverguide/C/network-auth.xml
make serverguide-html

3. View and verify the changes in your browser

firefox build/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html

Repeat the above 2 steps until crispy.

4. Send the modified repository to your Launchpad account

scripts/validate.sh serverguide/C/serverguide.xml
bzr commit -m 'Reviewing sub-chapter 6.1; other notes can go here'
bzr push lp:~johnlpid/serverguide/serverguide-review-6.1

5. Submit a proposal to merge the modifications with the main branch

Enter the Code section of your Launchpad account, select the appropriate branch, and submit a merge proposal.
