The "owing" part is a little dramatic, but I think we all know the intent
|
|
of its suggestion.

I think that in the future, whatever the LDP does in the way of contests
|
|
and/or prizes should be viewed a little more closely.
|
|
|
|
We are in fact the `Linux' Documentation Project, therefore I would think
|
|
that whatever the "prize" (I just hate that word) would be a little more
|
|
geared to the OS we're supporting. ?????
|
