Things That Need Fixing
=======================
-- Windows platform docs are in desperate need of rewrites/updates for 2.0.
+- Windows platform docs are in desperate need of rewrites/updates for 2.x.
- Bill Rowe and Bill Stoddard are good contacts for tech questions.
- "using apache" has been done, "compiling apache" is still open
- hints on uninstalling apache (exit monitor, close directories,
registry entries etc) (PR 10154)
- FAQ: UTF-8 config and URL encoding for non-ascii characters.
- - FAQ: AcceptEx failed / virusscanner, firewall fun
- New Auth system
- Much clean-up and enhancement of aaa howto
-D ONE_PROCESS
one-process-mode == no threads, i.e. only one
process handling the requests in a single loop?
- -D NO_DETACH (not in every MPM avail.)
- no daemon, but detached from terminal?
- -D FOREGROUND (not in every MPM avail.)
- ?
- Individual docs will need some cleanup.
- - misc/perf-tuning.html - needs major rewrite for 2.0
- misc/rewriteguide.html - needs cleaning in 1.3 and 2.0
- platform/ebcdic.xml - needs major rework for 2.0
Documentation improvements
==========================
-* htdbm documentation has been added and just needs peer review (plus
- translations).
-
* Missing documentation for the support program checkgid
* New user docs: Directory Handling (mod_dir/mod_autoindex/etc)
+ (draft available in wiki)
* Enhancements to the DTD/XSL:
- - <glossary> tag that links to the glossary and uses some special
- style in the css.
- New index: directives by context, including listing which directives
are available for each AllowOverride setting.
- New index: backout modules by type (aaa, mappers, loggers etc.)
- More content and better organisation
- mod_dav ressources are owned by the httpd
-* Making site-specific enhancements easier, including a documented
- and robust way for 3P module docco to be added -- and have it
- survive a server docco upgrade
-
- - This could be something a simple and hackish as a manual/extra/
- directory (a la the 1.3 src/modules/extra/ directory) and a
- script in the support directory that scans the files there and
- updates the manual indices. (We do something like that now for
- httpd.conf file with apxs [LoadModule, etc.].)
-
* Provide example solutions for the mapping of encodings, especially
for .gz etc. (also in regard to our default configuration)
-* Several features in Apache require write-access to the filesystem.
- Examples: CacheRoot, DavLockDB, ScriptLog
- We should treat the things consistently in the docs, and perhaps
- suggest the use of directory like /usr/local/apache2/var/ that is
- httpd-writable.
-
* Change the name 'Apache' to 'Apache HTTP Server' or 'http'.
