Updating 00-INDEX in Documentation/*

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Rob, Jiri

If this email goes the wrong place, my sincere apologies, my asbestos 
underwear can be quickly donned!

I've been reading through some of the docs and one thing that has struct 
me, is that there is a certain degree of bitrot (textrot?). Almost every 
category has an outdated 00-INDEX. A couple of indexes has been updated 
(thanks for applying Jiri!), but more remains.

This is obviously not the most important job to undertake, but it 
serves as a very convenient starting-point when exploring a given topic.

Hacking away at python shows me that of the 254 subfolders 57 has outdated 
00-INDEX, either with missing files, or files that has been removed. (see 
list below)

Now, I'm quite happy to start fixing this, but what I would like to know 
before I start:

- is it considered a waste of time? i.e. will it be worth the time
- what is best, a single, big patch, or a series of one patch per 
  directory?
- or should someone(tm) kick whoever caused 00-INDEX to be outdated, to fix 
  it?

thanks!
