The barriers are well known and the templates are my efforts to
simplify the matters for new authors. Like a few others I use LinuxDoc
which is available as a debian package and works out of the box.
Various online editing tools have been proposed but as always we are
lacking the time and resources to do this yet.

Actually there is no single person in TLDP that has the auhority to
speak on behalf of everyone else; considering the wide spectrum of
opinions that would quite simply be impossible.
There used to be another option to installing the entire tool chain, to
process documents using a mail based service, is this still operational?
