There is already a similar issue regarding the
Wikibooks "How-to bookshelf".

The Wikipedia entry "HOWTO" redirects to "How-to" so
the HOWTO class of documents at TLDP is not visible.
This could be taken care of using a disambiguation at
the entry for "HOWTO".

TLDP has had HOWTOs for more than 10 years but we have
never looked into the branding issues and now there
are numerous projects that could be mistaken for us.

Likewise there are a number of other documentation
projects starting too, some have been mentioned here
earlier.

It does however mean people do need good documentation
and that Google is not always the best solution when
looking for an answer.
