Yes, that's a procedure that works. You can submit a draft if it's
already a doc that's 'in progress' (accepted concept/idea). If
*clearly marked* as a draft, I will update my local copy (which
is pointed to from the LDP 'in progress' page).

If it's in SGML/XML (DocBook or Linuxdoc), edits have been made,
review has been done, and you feel comfortable with releasing it
then send to ####@####.#### and denote it's ready for release.
I will publish it and check it into our CVS tree for you. If you wish
to check it in yourself, obtain a CVS account. You should still alert
the 'submit' alias when you want a rev published...
