<h2>About the LDP</h2>
|
|

|
Total World Domination(tm), but you're not a programmer,
|
|
there's still something you can do. Help the LDP!

<h2>Document Review Effort Update</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The documentation review effort is proceeding apace. Our focus at the moment is on
|
|
establishing measurement criteria and working out the details of the process. Also,
|
|
we are updating all documents to the author's latest version, where necessary.
|
|
|
|
<p>We are also developing a database to store document metadata and reviewing notes.
|
|
This database will be a tool for all LDP reviewers to coordinate and record results.
|
|
Rick Welykochy is developing a web front end in perl. It is in a very early alpha
|
|
right now, but we hope to have it functional within a few weeks.
|
|
|
|
<p>The mailing list for this effort is currently at
|
|
<a href="http://www.linuxdoc.org/mailman/listinfo/ldp-review">http://www.lupercalia.net/mailman/listinfo/ldp-review</a>,
|
|
and we very much welcome new volunteers. Interest has been very
|
|
encouraging so far.
|
|
|
|
<p>Please write david -AT- lupercalia.net for more information
|
|
about how you can help.
