We welcome your comments on the Linux Documentation Project (LDP);
but remember that we are a volunteer organization with limited
resources so we can't do everything. Feedback will be sent to a
mailing list that is only for discussion of LDP issues, so please
don't ask technical or general questions about Linux.
<p><font color="darkred">
We again wish to stress that these lists are for the discussion of issues
related to the <b>LDP</b>; including
such topics as: the creation, maintenance, and translation
of documents (HOWTOs, FAQs, Guides, etc.); ideas for new documents;
issues involving the LDP web site; issues involving SGML processing
tools; etc.
</font></p>
<p>
For questions of a general Linux nature, may we suggest:
<ul>
<li>Take a look at the <a href="FAQ/Linux-FAQ/index.html">Linux Frequently Asked Questions
with Answers (FAQ)</a>.
</li>
<li>Examine the <A href="links/">General Information</a>
or our <A href="links/links.html#newuser">New Users and Help Sites</A>
links pages.
</li>
<li>Use the mailing list of a
local <a href="http://lugww.counter.li.org/">Linux User Group</a>.
</li>
<li>Utilize a site such
as <a href="http://www.justlinux.com/">JustLinux</a>,
<a href="http://www.linuxforums.org/">linuxforums.org</a>,
or
<a href="http://www.linuxquestions.org/">linuxquestions.org</a>.
</li>
<li>Try a <a href="search.html">search</a> of the LDP.
</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>
If you are clear on this policy, we welcome and appreciate your

Because our new server checks the <strong>exact sender</strong> of a
message (to prevent spam), you need to subscribe to these lists
as &quot;yourself&quot; (from the mail account you will post or
receive from).
</p>
<p>
To <strong>subscribe</strong>, send an empty message to:
<strong>&lt;list-name&gt;-subscribe@en.tldp.org</strong> (eg. announce-subscribe@en.tldp.org)
or click on the links provided above.
</p>
<p>
To <strong>unsubscribe</strong>, send an empty message to:
<strong>&lt;list-name&gt;-unsubscribe@en.tldp.org</strong> (eg. announce-unsubscribe@en.tldp.org).
</p>
<p>
Each list is archived in two forms: text files (accessible by e-mail),
and from <a href="http://lists.tldp.org/">http://lists.tldp.org/</a>
(with a mysql-driven searchable archive).
Listserver commands are available by sending an empty message
to &lt;list-name&gt;-help@en.tldp.org (eg. announce-help@en.tldp.org).
</p>
<p>
If you have any questions, please e-mail our
listmaster: <a href="mailto:ser@tldp.org.NOSPAM">ser@tldp.org</a>.
