Maybe the LDP should make some sort of ranking system which
allows
users to rank the usefullness of a howto, based upon facts such as
how
up-to-date, readable, and technically correct the howto is, that way
we would be able to see which howto's are the least useful and be
able to target them for improval/removal.

The average new reader is probably unfamiliar with grep and other
searching tools, perhaps the categorization should be changed so
that it is similar to dmoz/yahoo's categorization system where
each category has it's own page. That would also allow for longer
abstracts without ending up with very long page.
