You're right. We have to take decisions now.
Is there is any disagreement on the proposal, we may come to a vote.

Remember the mysql howto (or was it the postgresql howto) which did more
harm than good to the LDP?

I understand your concerns, but we we need multiple levels of authoring
to ensure high quality.

Yes we need more authors, but first we need more quality to prevent
distributions like redhat from dropping the LDP.

Yes - time for action. Can someone make clear proposals and see what's
the consensus?

We have different categories of documentation to include non linuxdoc
non docbook documents, such as guides.

Then please submit the documents you find as guides :
1. contact the author
2. explain you would like him to submit his document to the LDP as a
guide, under the GPL license or the OPL-a-b
3. if he accepts, then just submit the document.
