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 Also, if some (or even all) of the docs +are out-of-date, the subject specialist would need to either get the +existing authors to redo them or (in many cases) recruit new authors.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.. - - -Discussion topic title 3: - -Discussion topic 3 body. - - - - - - - - - -New documents @ The LDP - - - - - -. - -. - -. - @@ -101,11 +86,11 @@ -. - -. - -. +Trevor Harmon submitted a TimeSys +Linux Install mini HOWTO for review.
