One thing that would be a nice 'feature' is having the HTML
output pass any of validators - weblint for example ;-)

&gt; I figure one thing which I can add to the Linux community, and thereby
&gt; the hundreds of others who have helped me over the last 14 years with free
&gt; or cheap software, is to do something for the community. Regarding Linux,
&gt; my goal is to help get Linux to the point that butchers, backers, and
&gt; candle-stick makers can install it and use it. Already I've found Linux to
&gt; be more forgiving and robust than Windows95/98/NT. I expected that. I am
&gt; pleased it was as I expected. But, of course I'm a geek and should be
&gt; expected to be able to install and understand enough about troubleshooting
&gt; to get it to work well enough that I can use it.
&gt;
&gt; Point me at an &quot;old LinuxDoc file&quot; so that I can get an idea of what
&gt; you are talking about. I will certainly have to learn DocBook, but let's
&gt; start there and see what trips me first. (Failure is a more attentive
&gt; teacher than is success. &lt;smile&gt;)

&gt; &gt; N&gt; Any thoughts from anyone where I might focus my waning years of
&gt; &gt; N&gt; talent for the benefit of Linux? (Gawd, you opened yourself up
&gt; &gt; N&gt; there Mac!)
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;There's been talk of translating the old LinuxDoc files to DocBook,
&gt; &gt;and perhaps your kind offer to do the actual gruntwork may be just
&gt; &gt;what we need to push us through the transition. The work involves
&gt; &gt;trying to port the docs, then sifting through to find the things the
&gt; &gt;translator software doesn't like --- it may be an excellent way for
&gt; &gt;you to get a chance to at least browse the whole opus of documents,
&gt; &gt;and if you can then go over the docs to fix up content by adding the
&gt; &gt;xref tags and other appropriate markup, it's a double bonus.
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt;I don't speak for the LDP, but to me, your offer sounds like a win-win
&gt; &gt;situation. What sayeth the preachers?
