Is it? Why?
Well, *my* problem is that I never used PT and so far don't even
intend to. Contributing to other parts of the manual is something I'd
like to do as soon as I learn to clone myself and let the new fella
work on projects I never had time for :)
I heartily
disagree. Tweaking OS to get things done comes *before* you
start meddling with Ardour and isn't required all the time.
The problem is that most of the time it is. That makes
it possible to just write an Appendix that will cover several
distributions, while bloody well focusing on Ardour. So what's the
problem?
In that case you are writing a manual for Ardour, so wanna join the work
already in progress that you just wrote about?;) Of course the appendixes would require constant
maintenence and would be
exceedinly numerous as there are numerous distributions used in pro audio on
Linux. That, I think but am not certain, is why the FLOSS manual covered
Ubuntu to a limited degree and left it there. Trying to cover all of them
is quite challenging and requires much more time than they had.
Of course that being said just triyng to cover all of what Ardour can do is
challenging in itself, trust me:)
You are saying that to someone who spent not the worst 6 years of his
life working as tecnical writer ;-)
