Greetings everyone,
I've just started reading the LDP Author Guide so bear with me a second
here....
I'm going to start working on an Enterprise Java for Linux Guide and I
noticed that there is one at tldp.org but it's really out of date. I like
to become the owner of this doc. I know that the Author Guide says to
contact the current author but after browsing through the mailing list
archive I don't think there is one.
At the bottom of this message I've copied parts of the messages archived
from this list that seem to indicate there is no author(s) anymore. It's a
little hard to be sure because the archive only seems to allow searching
by relevance and not date.
Besides doing Java development on Linux I'm also a Sun certified Master
Java Instructor that teaches Sun's Java training courses all the way up to
the J2EE architecting stuff.
So the question is what exactly do I need to do now in order to be listed
as the new maintainer while working on this document?
Thanks,
-Chase
At http://www.tldp.org/authors/unmaint.html a new owner of Mylene Reiners
is listed but in this message

I'm interested in taking on maintenance of the EJ for Linux HOWTO:
http://tldp.org/HOWTO/Enterprise-Java-for-Linux-HOWTO.html
As you can see, it's pretty out-of-date.
I've mailed the former 3 maintainers, including the one shown as
current maintainer on the HOWTO itself, Mylene Reiners.
Mylene says that she handed ownership on to someone else some
time back, but is not sure who the current maintainer is now.
The other two, previous authors encouraged me to go ahead, and
one even offered to help.

Then in another message he says:

I was gathering info and testing latest versions of various Free/OSS
J2EE products on various Linux distros, in preparation for a re-write of
the Enterprise Java HOWTO which is currently unmaintained:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Enterprise-Java-for-Linux-HOWTO.html
At the same time, Luigi Bitonti ####@####.#### is currently
working on a HOWTO about tomcat, mod_jk and mod_jk2 configuration, so we
discussed combining efforts into a single J2EE HOWTO.
However I won't now be proceeding with the J2EE HOWTO, because Sun has
just announced that they will not be opening up the Java language after all
