are always sighing how they can't contribute anything to Open Source because they're just not the technical kind of person. You don't have to know anything about Linux in order to help TLDP authors

to create good documents. Sometimes it's enough to just come up with a bit of inspiration for a good title!</span></li>

|

<p>The formal TLDP 10th anniversary news was <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?1:mss:5068:200309:fhmfikojcekoaemohkge" target="_top">sent out</a> by Stein Gjoen. Lars Wirzenius seems to recall
|
|
that <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/index.cgi?7:mss:4076:200310:amkihcbaggglagjflccj" target="_top">TLDP started as early as 1992</a> and possibly before that. Is it the said truth of the information
|
|
age that we forget our history? Next thing we know, there have always been flying cars and brain plugins around...</p>
