Not good enough.
My motivation as an author is to provide worthwhile content to as many
people as possible that may find it useful.
I look to the LDP to facilitate my work getting used by it's intended
audience.
Instead, I find the LDP creating obstructions to this process rather than
facilitating it, by requiring me to jump through a series of poorly
documented hoops in order to meet some arbitrary (and ultimately
pointless) criteria.
Instead of improving my content, I am wasting countless hours working
step by step through the Author Guide, only to get output like the
following. This is not worthwhile use of any author's time.
I ask you to consider what Stephen King needs to know about printing
presses and type setting. Further, I ask that you consider how many
authors like me decide that the LDP just isn't worth the effort.
