&gt; N&gt; Any thoughts from anyone where I might focus my waning years of
&gt; N&gt; talent for the benefit of Linux? (Gawd, you opened yourself up
&gt; N&gt; there Mac!)
&gt;
&gt; There's been talk of translating the old LinuxDoc files to DocBook,
&gt; and perhaps your kind offer to do the actual gruntwork may be just
&gt; what we need to push us through the transition. The work involves
&gt; trying to port the docs, then sifting through to find the things the
&gt; translator software doesn't like --- it may be an excellent way for
&gt; you to get a chance to at least browse the whole opus of documents,
&gt; and if you can then go over the docs to fix up content by adding the
&gt; xref tags and other appropriate markup, it's a double bonus.
Can we get some sort of revision control server for this beastie? Just
thinking outloud, but I've certainly got free CPU cycles (work provided P-II
400, and home provided Dual SuperSPARCS). I'd like to have these all
together, so that we can go through and clean up anyplace that has
&quot;shortcuts&quot; taken (closing tags left off), and then try running the
&quot;polished&quot; docs through whatever translator we're using. If sunfreeware
goes back online I'll have my trusty xemacs on my Sparc so that I can do the
editing, otherwise it will have to be in my free moments at work.

&gt;
&gt; I don't speak for the LDP, but to me, your offer sounds like a win-win
&gt; situation. What sayeth the preachers?
