The extensions HOWTO (which was contributed to netfilter.org) was abandoned by its original author, as it seems. A volunteer project lives from contributions by volunteers. The netfilter core team is mostly busy with development tasks and with keeping the project running. There's no time left for any kind of documentation, I fear. We don't even have a webmaster - the core developers themselves are taking care of that (involuntarily). The only non-technical project member we have is Travis, our listmaster. > Did you guys think of transfering docs to wiki? A wiki needs somebody who takes care of the maintenance. Otherwise you get problems with inaccurate information, spam and the like. So whether a wiki or old-style HOWTOS: Somebody needs to take care. Unless we see more people volunteering in the area of documentation, I don't think this is going to change, sorry.
