&gt; &gt; It's unfortunate that the author hasn't responded. Once you've
&gt; &gt; finished reading over the LDP Authoring Guide (Howto-HOWTO), feel
&gt; &gt; free to being updating the document. Once you've got a version that
&gt; &gt; you feel is suitable for general consumption, please mail a copy to
&gt; &gt; the LDP submit list, and to the original author. Grego

&gt; Hi,
&gt;
&gt; I've been lurking for a while to get a feel for LDP and maybe some of
&gt; the unwritten rules of the road. I have the exact same issue with two
&gt; HOWTOs: ADSL and FDU (Font De-uglification). No reply from authors, no
&gt; bounce either. Both HOWTOs could use some updating.
&gt;
&gt; So I assume the same would apply here also. ???
I see no reason to do anything differently for these.
&gt; On a related note, how is it determined officially whether a HOWTO is
&gt; maintained or not? And maybe some of the active maintainers could give
&gt; me an idea of what kind of personal mail volume this might generate.
&gt;
&gt; And if I do a significant rewrite, should I change the email address?
Yes, but be sure to email the author(s) again, with an updated version.
Please make sure to mention that you've updated/re-written a pre-existing
HOWTO, and give credit to the previous authors. Of the HOWTOs that I've
done quick edits on, or ones that I've used, and emailed the authors, I've
always gotten a response.
Grego
