editors: Thread: I'd like to help do reviews

I'd like to help review submitted documents.  I am the current author of
the System Admin Guide, and feel very strongly about my ability to
review documents, both from a technical and a editorial stand point.  

Please let me know if there is any specific information you'd like from
me.

As for the System Admin Guide, I am trying to get a new version out.
However, I keep getting caught up in adding/changing what I already have
and never feel quite ready.  However, I have set a final deadline of the
31st of this month, and have put a strict limit on what changes I'll let
myself make to the SAG before then.

Alex,

The SAG is an important work.  Please focus on getting it up to date, and
schedule regular updates, for instance every 4-6 months.  I understand the
problems you are facing, being the author of the Introduction to Linux,
which also needs regular updates because of the variety o subjects and the
flexibility and growth of the Linux systems available.

Do not worry if you are not completely happy with a paragraph or subject.
You will get input from your readers and small updates every now and then
will help you to improve the work.  Also, feel free to contact us if you
need an opinion on (part of) your writings.

I will also set myself a deadline: get the "in progress" page updated by
the end of the month.  Check back in by the 1st of August and then you can
decide on further commitment, what do you say about that?

Tille.

That sounds good.  I will have a new draft submitted by 7/31.  Right now
I am in the process indexing it.  However I will stop that project and
focus on other things to get it ready for submittal.
