A contribution to the LDP is not just something someone writes up out
|
|
of the blue and submits. Most of our documents are HOWTOs. In order
|
|
to contribute a HOWTO one should:
|
|
|
|
1. Select a topic that is not already covered by another HOWTO. See
|
|
www.linuxdoc.org for lists of HOWTOs, etc.
|
|
2. If the Howto you wanted to write already exists, you are encouraged
|
|
to submit comments/suggestions about improving it to the current
|
|
author/maintainer of the Howto.
|
|
3. Before you start to write a Howto send a letter of intent to
|
|
ldp-discuss@lists.linuxdoc.org.
|
|
4. Write it in one of the two SGML formats: LinuxDoc or DocBook.
|
|
LinuxDoc is much easier, but less powerful than DocBook. Perhaps
|
|
use another Howto or a template as a guide.
|
|
5. Make sure that it has a license which allows anyone to freely copy
|
|
and distribute the document.
|
|
6. Run sgml2txt, sgml2html, etc. to make sure that your Howto will
|
|
convert to plain text (txt), html, etc.
|
|
7. Proofread it. Hopefully, find someone else to proofread it too.
|
|
8. Submit the finished document (in one of the sgml formats) by email
|
|
to ldp-submit@linuxdoc.org
|
|
|
|
Many distributions have sgml packages which enable one to use LinuxDoc
|
|
or DocBook. If you decide on LinuxDoc, make sure you get a sgml
|
|
package that supports LinuxDoc. Ditto for DocBook. The HOWTO-HOWTO
|
|
covers using sgml but it soon will be revised to make it easier to
|
|
understand and navigate.
