discuss: Thread: Linux Newbie Administrator Guide

I talked to the author of the Linux Newbie Administrator Guide and he
wants us to publish it on the LDP site under the GFDL. We already have
a link to it but haven't actually published it.

We need a volunteer to convert it to DocBook. Anybody want to tackle
it?

Hello,

Is it in HTML?

Hello,

We have a program that will dump it straight to valid docbook. Some
formatting will have to take place afterwards but it works great.

I will convert it, if somebody offers to format it.

Great, go ahead. We'll find somebody to format it.

Can I get ahold of that program? 
I'd like to try it on my HTML FreeS/WAN docs.

We need a volunteer to convert the LNAG into DocBook. Any takers?

After sending this I read my next note and realized I already have a
volunteer, Mr. Poet. He's taking care of it, thanks to those who
replied.
