3.1. T echnical review request s
All review requests are classified into one of the following five categories:
New con t en t
content documented for the first time — an entirely new feature, procedure, or concept. For
example: "Section now describes the new procedure for creating bootable USB devices."
Co rrect io n
a factual error previously present in the text has been corrected. For example: "Section
previously stated (incorrectly) that IPv4 and IPv6 were both supported; section now states
that IPv6 has never been supported."
Clarif icat io n
material that was already factually correct but is now better explained. Clarifications are
usually in response to reader feedback that the previous content was confusing or
misleading in some way. For example: "Paths described in Example 1.2.3 now better reflect
the directory structure of an actual installed system."
O b so let io n
a description of a feature or a procedure has been dropped. Material might be obsolete
because of a feature that is no longer supported, a known issue that has been corrected, or
hardware that is now obsolete. For example, "Section no longer describes how to update
kernel modules using a floppy disk."
Verif icat io n
a request to check a fact, procedure, or whether material should be obsoleted. For example,
"Section describes how to connect to a generic iSCSI storage device. Please verify this on
your hardware" or "Section still describes how to update kernel modules using a LS-120
SuperDisk; please verify that we still need to tell readers about this obsolete hardware."
