Hi there,
I'm the author of the Linux Programming Module Guide (LKMPG). Sadly,
I've let the LKMPG go for a few years.
It wasn't my fault -- I blame the cruel world we live in that requires
us to get a job after school. I want to atone for my sins, but I'm
not going to go back to docbook; I always hated it and it's the wrong
tool for a living document / moving target / collaborative effort.
There's no reason to use it for a document like the LKMPG, and I'm
fairly confident that the current version of LKMPG in that format is
the last. I'm done with it.
However, a wiki version of the LKMPG is very intriguing. It corrects
all the deficiencies of docbook. It's easy, 100% collaborative, can
be translated into different formats, and easily and quickly
modifiable. I wouldn't mind putting the LKMPG onto a wiki and going
back to actively maintaining it. But if I'm going to put in this
kind of time, there's a few things I would like to know first:
1. How do I start? In other words, where would my top page be?
2. How are foreign translations handled in wiki versions of documents?
3. Can *anyone* modify my pages? If so, is there a way of restricting
edits to just people with verified accounts on tldp.org? How is spam
control handled?
Thanks!
Pete
