The last three documents we accepted for review, were in PDF, HTML and
(don't shoot) MS Word. It should be clear to our writers that their main
goal is to write. We do not force DocBook or any other source format upon
them.
Please let me know where on the tldp.org website you have the impression
that this is the only accepted input format, so that we can chose better
wording. Maybe we can make it more clear in the author guide, too,
eventhough it says here:
http://www.tldp.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/html/acceptedversions.html
"New Documents
A new document may be submitted to the LDP in any format. Documents which
are not in DocBook or LinuxDoc will be converted by a volunteer. The
author is responsible for adding markup to any revisions which are made. "
Once you have the formatted document, it is not too hard to add or change
some text, or is it?
Tille.
