<h1>Author</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Authors write the HOWTOs and Guides that are essential to TLDP's
|
|
mission of creating documentation for Linux-based operating systems.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Responsibilities</h2>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Create documentation.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>License the document in an acceptable way.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Participate in <a
|
|
href="mailto:discuss-subscribe@en.tldp.org.NOSPAM">TLDP's general
|
|
discussion mailing list</a>.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="mailto:submit@en.tldp.org.NOSPAM">Submit</a> document(s)
|
|
for language and technical review.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Correct any errors or omissions found during the review
|
|
process.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Periodically update documentation.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Commitment</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The amount of time needed to create documentation varies. It is also
|
|
important to factor in time needed to maintain documentation. Because
|
|
technology changes rapidly most documents need to be updated once or twice
|
|
a year in order to remain relevant.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Qualifications</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Authors must posses a good working knowledge of the subject at hand and
|
|
have good English writing skills.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Supervision</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The author position does not have a direct supervisor. Documents are
|
|
evaluated by peer review and by the TLDP review committee.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Training</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>All new authors are encouraged to read the <a
|
|
href="../LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/">Author-Guide</a>. Any
|
|
specific questions can be brought up on <a
|
|
href="mailto:discuss-subscribe@en.tldp.org.NOSPAM">TLDP's general
|
|
discussion mailing list</a>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Policies Affecting Assignment</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Documents submitted are subject to peer review by the TLDP community
|
|
and proofreading by TLDP's review committee.</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>Benefits Of The Position</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>Becoming an author for TLDP offers the opportunity to spread your
|
|
documentation world-wide, for free.</p>
