not for the authors -- for the infrastructure.
in other words, a place that says what the procedures are when a howto
becomes orphaned or hopelessly out of date. or what are acceptable
licenses and how to handle HOWTO's which don't currently have a license.
similar to how debian guidelines don't put restrictions on upstream
authors (other than the license they need to use if their software is to
be distributed by debian).
anyway, it just a thought. tldp is obviously hale and hearty without
such a document.
