<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>LinuxFocus Joins the LDP</h2>
|
|
|
|
We are very happy to announce a new section of the LDP.
|
|
It's called <a href="http://www.linuxdoc.org/linuxfocus/">LinuxFocus</a>,
|
|
and it's a European magazine that has been published since 1997.
|
|
|
|
<p>LinuxFocus is an outstanding publication in many ways.
|
|
It is produced by a wide ranging team of volunteers,
|
|
all content is licensed under the
|
|
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl.html">GNU Free Documentation License</a>,
|
|
so it is completely Free, and it is published in
|
|
Dutch, English, French, German, Russian, Spanish and Turkish!
|
|
The team is currently working to add Arabic and Korean.
|
|
Older editions are available in Chinese (GB), Chinese (Big5), Italian and Portuguese.
|
|
|
|
<p>Covered topics in the July 2001 edition include:
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|

|
|
</ul>
|
|
|

interest to all us Penguin Lovers.
