Hello,
|
|
|
|
I think you are missing the point here, what I "think" the guy is trying
|
|
to say is that he would like to write a HOWTO that will help people,
|
|
specifically Technical/OpenSource people understand the basics of how to
|
|
be effective with political advocacy.
|
|
|
|
Although - I do not really think that the LDP is the place for such a
|
|
document, I could not suggest a better place, so why not?
|
|

Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology,"
|
|
start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.
