Mathieu, are you saying that you have a fully written HOWTO which you now
discover needs to be converted to DocBook, or have the DocBook standardised,
and that you would rather have known about this a lot earlier? I think TLDP can
assist with markup.

how-to, nor a ...errr. I've discovered.
Also, I know David has frequently suggested that TLDP needs to make life easier
for volunteers.

That's an interesting suggestion. Maybe TLDP could use statistics on which
documents are accessed and how frequently to somehow prioritise their
maintenance?
Maybe some kind of similarly democratic system (user feedback?) could also be
used to help rate the quality of documents.
