Karl,
This is why I argue that Wiki is such a great option. Rather than
hassling with posts via email, IRC, or whatever means someone would
have to go to get a change made/modified they can simply change via
Wiki and be moderated by a group of volunteers.
KISS method - Keep It Simple Silly.
TLDP has been a means that I have always used but lately the documents
have been outdated and unmaintained, with the plethora of Linux Users
out there more users will post if ease of access is established. It
shouldn't be TLDP's responsibility to change/edit/follow up on authors
as it is a community-based anyway and it's the community's
responsibility to modify the documents.
