Totally agreed - plus things like the docs for GNOME, although they
|
|
can be Linux specific - they can be Solaris specific, IRIX specific,
|
|
etc etc. As maintainer of the docs I now have the option to choose
|
|
between two doc-projects if I want to try to get my docs mirrored.

Or Both.

I feel the same way - and I too am not trying to 'stoke the fire' as
|
|
it were, but the LDP had many chances to not flounder, but it
|
|
did. Most importantly, the lack of moving out of a format driven
|
|
mark-up (Linuxdoc) to DocBook killed my interest in it quite
|
|
readily. The LDP has done some wonderful work over the years but there
|
|
is nothing wrong with having another, similar project that just make
|
|
take the concept even further.
