<para>Rodolfo J. Paiz said, with a <ulink
url="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:sss:9237:200504:bjbgnonlmmobjojdkkop">small
hint of sadness</ulink>, that he will shortly be unsubscribing from the
LDP lists. In the roughly 10 months he has been there, he has not found
the time to make a more significant contribution (for several reasons)
and believed that it is best that he focuses his efforts elsewhere.
People went on to discuss what could be done to address his concerns and
the topic of subject specialists was brought up again, upon which David
Lawyer said, <quote>I just want to remind people that my proposal for
subject specialists was not just for people to list themselves as
specialists, but for them to assume responsibility for all the docs in
their field of specialty. This responsibility would begin with the
specialist reviewing all the docs in this subject and possibly
suggesting mergers or splits. Also, if some (or even all) of the docs
are out-of-date, the subject specialist would need to either get the
existing authors to redo them or (in many cases) recruit new authors.
One can use the Internet for recruiting: Find people who discuss the
topic on various mailing lists (and who know what they are writing
about), contact local Linux User Groups, etc. So, the subject
specialist is both a reviewer, coordinator (merge or split), and
recruiter. It's a lot of work. The categories (subjects) need to be
selected so that there will be at least a few docs in that subject.
Also, in some cases, the subject specialist may also be the author of a
doc in that subject area.</quote>. </para>
