It's not `their fault`. What good is a `core team` if it is just as big as
|
|
the number of authors + anyone else who thinks they have to have their
|
|
say?

Some things still need to be dealt with by email as things are not clear
|
|
on a number of subjects. For example
|
|
- What's up with docbook SGML? (I for one don't write linuxdoc SGML at
|
|
all anymore.)
|
|
- How to handle with a howto that is not updated since spring 1997?
|
|
(Can someone take over as their is no way of getting in contact with
|
|
the original author anymore?)
|
|
|
|
Getting no answers for months as would-be author is counter-productive. I
|
|
think some QC is in order here. I for one gave up before I got started on
|
|
an English documents of some praktical issue's regarding firewalls. (A
|
|
number of issue's is missing in the IPCHAINS HOWTO. I do think they are
|
|
beyond the scope of that HOWTO so I don't blame the author for not
|
|
covering them.)
|
|
|
|
