Ah, but there are :). The current authors are the upstream authors. The
|
|
LDP would provide editors/packagers to put the info in the format the LDP
|
|
desires. In many cases the upstream author would also be the packager. In
|
|
many cases this would probably be more pain than it's worth, e.g. some
|
|
warez d00d does his doks in neon html with images of some spiked
|
|
font... :). In the context of the author to editor relationship discussed
|
|
earlier the editor could easily be the LDP packager.

Yup, but it doesn't necessarily make it easy for everyone to submit
|
|
content.

I think so. Those questions could be used to build faqs or for figuring
|
|
out what categories to index stuff under, e.g. if the RAID howto gets tons
|
|
of question bugs about why RAID doesn't work in dist y ver x, then we know
|
|
to put an entry under dist->y->ver x->problems->RAID or whatever path. The
|
|
questions could be great feedback on how to organize the LDP web site and
|
|
make info easier to find.
