It is the name we give it : "Linux Documentation Project"
|
|
|
|
We could call it "Jack'o Lantern Documentation Project" but it might not
|
|
be very clear :-)

I have no problem with the source of the software as long as it is free.
|
|
But this is my own opinion.
|
|
|
|
A majority wants documentation covering commercial software?
|
|
|
|
We'll provide it, it's that simple.
|
|
|
|
We're not here for our own goals, but to 'serve' the majority of the
|
|
authors.

I'm like this (european "liberal democrat", but attention, it is approx.
|
|
the equivalent of a US republican without religious lobby)
|
|
|
|
I don't care about the others while I'm free.
|
|
|
|
They can do whatever they want if, very selfish indeed, I'm free to do
|
|
what I want too.
|
|
|
|
The selfish pursuit is keeping freedom for each citizen (ain't that
|
|
awful?)
|
|
|
|
But tell me, why hell are you bringing political opinions in this
|
|
discussion?

Beg your pardon, I don't beleive you here.

|

|
Each author is working a lot, with >1 howto in many cases.
