Articles to Write

Next

  • Template:HandbookLink documentation... see: https://wiki.gentoo.org/index.php?title=Template:HandbookLink.

  • All programming languages should get <LANG> in context sections.
  • openssl
  • Add file managers to the Terminal productivity software article.
  • Pandoc revise article to include information about:

    • Apple Partition Map (APM)
    • Amiga Rigid Disk Block (RDB)
    • ISO 9660
    • Raspberry Pi
    • Open Firmware
      • Detail startup procedure and boot device selection.
  • Resolving endianness issues in C using the Alpha Porting Guide as a template.
  • XDG Directories
  • XDG Directory Applications list
  • games-misc/fortune-mod the once ubiquitous fortune that was commonly set to run at login.
  • sys-apps/miscfiles Most of its contents are mentioned in the README, but it also includes /usr/share/dict/words which is not.
  • HP T620 and HP T620 Plus Thin Client
  • NASM
  • systemd-creds and its relationship to the trusted platform module TPM.
  • systemd-ask-password and its relationship to systemd-creds.
  • dev-lang/tcl.

Templates

  • {{guru_package}} similar to {{package}}.
  • {{haskell_package}} similar to {{package}}.

To-do Eventually

Security

  • Data at rest encryption.

Coding

  • Perl article overhaul.
    • Write in user subpage and get Dilfridge to sign off on it.
    • Lots more information on modern Perl itself.
    • Links to plenty of tutorials.
  • C++
  • COBOL and Gnucobol.
  • Mono, of .NET fame.
  • BASIC
  • mono-basic / visual basic
  • C#
  • F# (part of the dev-lang/mono runtime?)
  • ASP .Net

Follow Up

Cleanup

  • Write a general gcc article. It can be a stub, but make it a good one.
    • Remove the GGC --> GCC Upgrades redirect but link to the original article. Eventually, the articles will probably merge.
  • Clang. Try to figure out how to refactor the article. A long article is fine as long as it flows well. This article may or may not need to be split up.

Larger Projects

  • Fully document how to create custom profiles and merge existing ones.
    • Sam has his own profile overlay on GitHub at thesamesam/overlay/, talk to him if you get stuck.
