As far as I'm concerned, I'm doing it because it is work needing to be 
done.  And it is nice to see your name on tldp.org.  That's credit enough 
for me.
You have a page were you can post information all you want, if you are 
maintainer of a document, it's the intro section.  Also I'm sure LDP 
maintainers give credit where it is due for people doing the work that is 
not immediately tagged with a name plate.

Honestly, I am getting a feel here that you are complaining before you get 
the full picture (as in the next mail).

Also, and this is to everyone in general, I wish you would all stop about 
that XML editor.  One editor will never fit all, I for one will never use 
it, nor a web implementation, and everybody who is experiencing problems 
converting their xxx formatted texts to XML is welcome to send me any 
format of text, I'll convert it for you.  The other option is stop 
complaining, get to work and write that editor of your choice and do 
something useful with it.  I don't intend to be rude, I'm just getting a 
bit fed up with all this wasting of time.  Don't send me anything but docs 
that need to be converted, the end, stop, thank you.  

This being said, I greet you.

Tille.
