Sorry if it seems like I'm just bitching, I guess it could look that
way... but refering to the LDP Authors
Guide: http://www.tldp.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/html/process.html
This guide outlines that step 1 is to join this list and:
" If you have not yet written your documentation, please review our
documents (current <http://tldp.org/HOWTO/HOWTO-INDEX/howtos.html>,
unmaintained <http://tldp.org/authors/unmaint.html> and in progress
<http://www.tldp.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/html/process.html>) and submit
a proposal to the list. Your proposal should include reasons why your
document will be different than those already in the collection; or
identify a subject that is currently missing from our documentation. For
more information about writing proposals, please read Chapter 3
<http://www.tldp.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/html/propose.html>."
Normally I wouldn't bother to adhere tightly to the rules, but given
that someone spent alot of time writing an authors guide, and this
outline is echo'ed in other places combined with the staff structure of
the project, I just figured that you guys want this done in an organized
and strict/proffessional manner, which is what I'm (trying :)), to do.
