I just discovered that the Wikipedia entry on the Linux Documentation
Project recently survived an attemt to have it deleted due to perceived
lack of notability.
Proposer for deltion was user Thumperward who on his Wikipedia page lists
amongst his projects "De-howto Wikipedia". I am not sure what has been
wiped already, on deletion things are hard to rescue. There are two rescue
sites for deleted articles: Wikiunderground and Deletionpedia. There might
be HOWTOs there that can be of value to the LDP.
My lack of postings here lately is due to massive workload but I felt this
was sufficiently important to make a post.
