Sounds good, so I expect that you will go forward with it and I will not
ask for volunteers from my LUG. Re "your DocBook Howto", did you mean
my HOWTO about LinuxDoc? So we need to mark this as "in progress". But
please try to improve your grammar a little like writing "a couple of
times" instead of "couple of times". Thanks for taking on this project.
The following email shows that someone else is also working on a
networking doc. There already is a "Network Administrators Guide" so
I'm wondering if this is intended to replace/update it. You might want
to ask Binh Nguyen about this and possibly ask him for a draft.

Hi guys,
I should've probably mentioned it to this list but I'm
slowly working my way towards completion of a guide on
'Linux Networking'. I'm hoping for completion before
the start of November.
Binh.
