If you are still looking for a history, this might be a good record: http://linux.oreillynet.com/pub/a/linux/2000/02/25/interview/welshtranscript.html You had mentioned earlier about a handout at the LDP booth - could I possible get a copy of that, if it has history, etc? - Serena- ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Serena Fenton linux archivist http://ibiblio.org/pub/linux ibiblio collections manager http://ibiblio.org ####@####.#### ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

LDP history
From: David Lawyer ####@####.#### Date: 18 Apr 2009 08:54:44 +0100 Message-Id: <20090417194632.GB2797@davespc> Should I try to improve Garrels history of the LDP? There are a lot of events not covered. One was my survey of sites that showed that the majority of them carried stale LDP documentation, which compounded the problem of the fact that many LDP docs were out-of-date. Also, statistics need to be included. Credit should be given to David Merrill who was doing a content management system for us but had no one to finish it when he became too ill to continue. Also Lars resignation as leader should be mentioned as well as LDP being de-facto leaderless for a number of years. The "intervention" by Joy Y. of IBM needs to be mentioned. And LDP disappearing from the internet due to failure to renew the linuxdoc domain should be mentioned. The speculation that the Open Source Writers Group might take over the role played by LDP should be mentioned too. Also, there was an effort to unify all Linux documentation that had a lot of ideas but got nowhere and wound up with everyone leaving the special mailing list created for such discussion. The dropping of LDP documentation by distributions (except Debian and ?) needs mentioning. And the Al Dev affair should be mentioned (His howtos contained a lot of exaggerations and some plagerisms and he refused to discuss this on the mailing list). In fact, a good history would have links to the LDP archives of the mailing list, etc., where much of this was discussed. I think that if I don't do it, no one will. Yet it may be more important to work on simplified documentation for volunteers. The story of LDP is that of one crisis (or problem) after another but it somehow survived them all.

I have setup a wiki version (http://wiki.tldp.org/History), but didn't yet replace the old one because it's unfinished. If you can update it (and you are one of the better author I can see for this), we could remove the old one and link to the wiki thanks jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://valerie.dodin.org http://news.opensuse.org/2009/04/13/people-of-opensuse-jean-daniel-dodin/ | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
