META: more articles are welcome
Are You Interested in Publishing Your Own mod_perl Article?
We always welcome new mod_perl articles. Here are some steps to help you out.
First, you should find out if your information might be better suited as documentation for mod_perl. We try to maintain a big knowledge base here, and additions are always welcome. Please contact the docs-dev mailing list with patches or additions.
For the content, we advocate reuse. If you're writing installation instructions, you are free to get as much inspiration as you want from the documentation on this site, especially the user guides. You should always try and re-write it a little to add your own touch or more user-friendliness, but you may keep the same steps and information. After all, there's only one way to install it, and it's pretty well documented already! This is true for all other aspects covered here too. Of course, if you feel like you have created something useful for everyone, feel free to send it back to us so that we can re-enter it into our documentation base.
Last, but not least, when you do publish your article, please notify us, so that we can make a notice of it here!
