Announcing The Answers Archive

Mike - 3:12pm on Monday March 16th 2009

In months gone by we've put PDFs of Linux Format articles online for conversion to different formats and, thanks to the excellent work of the community, we've been able to expand our wiki with more guides and help for all Linux users. Cheers to everyone who got involved!

Now we're looking to do something similar, but with the Answers section of the magazine. Each month, we print problems and solutions in Answers and we'd love to be able to share the fixes with the internet. So we're starting a new project -- The Answers Archive -- and you'll find all the information here:

Thanks in advance to anyone who wants to help out, and if you have any questions, just holler!

Wow - it looks like you have more time to spare when you have a cold :)

I looked over your XML, and it's just fine. There are a couple of very minor errors (the most common one being "dflksjdflkjdfljdsf" rather than "dflksjdflkjdfljdsf" - that / is very important!), but these are easily fixed.

Thanks for helping!

Bah - this thing strips out

Bah - this thing strips out HTML/XML! Does it do quoted HTML too? Let's see: <meh>

OK, so I can write use HTML tags if I'm careful. Let me try again:

I looked over your XML, and it’s just fine. There are a couple of very minor errors (the most common one being "<question>dflksjdflkjdfljdsf<question>" rather than "<question>dflksjdflkjdfljdsf</question>" - that / is very important!), but these are easily fixed.

OK will get to the next one when I have time later on. Perhaps there should be a page on the wiki that they could go in?
