2005 11 The Linux Documentation Project 2005-03-23 . . . . . . After the heavy traffic of the last couple of weeks, some real work has finally been started to improve on the clearness of TLDP procedures. David Horton started on TLDP Job Descriptions. Currently defined are Author, Chief Coordinator, Document Publisher, Document Reviewer, Mirror Maintainer, News Contributor, News Editor and Technical Contributor. David will be further polling and charting out the responsabilities of all volunteers; the goal is to include this documentation on the TLDP site to make it clear that TLDP knows what it is doing and where it is going. Machtelt Garrels is working on a graphical representation of the publishing process which is to be included in the Author Guide. She also proposed to make a flowchart of the relation between the job responsabilities within TLDP as an addition to David Horton's work. . . Christophe Devine took the time to update all the package version numbers in the Encrypted Root Filesystem HOWTO v1.3. The document is now also available in CVS. Another addition to CVS is v0.9 of the BTTV HOWTO. This is the first attempt at rewrite of the document, so comments are welcome! Mendel Cooper released v3.3 of the Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide, which contains again lots of bugfixes and several new example scripts.
