From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Ralf Baechle DL5RB Subject: New Linux hamradio related website. Date: Tue, 18 Apr 2006 12:21:50 +0200 Message-ID: <20060418102150.GA662@linux-mips.org> Mime-Version: 1.0 Return-path: Content-Disposition: inline Sender: linux-hams-owner@vger.kernel.org List-Id: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: linux-hams@vger.kernel.org One of the things that are really bad about the Linux packet radio code is it's distinct lack of reasonable documentation. So I've setup http://www.linux-ax25.org The site is a wiki meaning that everybody after creating an account can edit the content using a simple markup language. To get started I've primed the site with the content of the old ham-radio and AX.25 howtos. I'm eventually planning to host more software and projects such as my AX.25 kernel work on that size but for the moment the wiki is what actually is there. What is the site intended for? I'd like to phrase it more general than the domain name may suggest, anything related to Linux and amateur radio is welcome. Documentation of software, hints on how to get things to work, background on why things are or have to be the way they are etc. A potencial future wiki project would be a translation of the wiki to multiple languages in spirit very similar to wikipedia. It would be simple for me to setup multiple parallel sites - but starting such a project would be foolish without the manpower to keep all translations in sync and maintained. Is there enough interest? I would expect that answer to be yes at least for some of the major European languages as shown by the large number of existing translations of howto projects. So, I'm posting to this list in order to ask others to contribute to the site, even contributions as small as a spelling fix or a healthy discussion are welcome.
