<h2>About the LDP</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The Linux Documentation Project is developing free, high quality documentation
|
|
for the GNU/Linux operating system. This includes the creation of HOWTOs and Guides,
|
|
and collaboration with other documentation groups.
|
|
|
|
<p>If you've always wanted to help Linux reach
|
|
Total World Domination(tm), but you're not a programmer,
|
|
there's still something you can do. Help the LDP!
|
|
|
|
<p>The LDP keeps a page of resources for authors at
|
|
<a href="http://www.linuxdoc.org/authors/">http://www.linuxdoc.org/authors/</a>.
|
|
Contributions are always welcome.
|

<h2>DocBook Conversions</h2>
|
|
|
|
DocBook, an SGML and XML DTD designed specifically for technical documentation,
|
|
has become the standard format for Linux documentation, and therefore for
|
|
the Linux Documentation Project. Most new documents that are being written
|
|
for the LDP are being written in DocBook, but we also have a large collection
|
|
of documents that were written in other formats and that now need to be
|
|
converted.
|
|
|
|
<p>We are not progressing as quickly as we need to with the document
|
|
conversions, and we need some more people willing to volunteer anything
|
|
from a few hours to a few days of their time.
|
|
|
|
<p>Please send me a note at david -AT- lupercalia.net to get
|
|
more information on how you can help.
