When I was at the LDP booth at Montreal, I had some visitors tell me
|
|
that many HOWTOs are not up to date. Another problem is that there
|
|
are a lot of topics they don't cover, or a certain HOWTO fails to
|
|
contain the info they are seeking. This is our main problem: the
|
|
technical quality and completeness of our documentation. The look and
|
|
feel doesn't make all that much difference.
|
|
|
|
How do we fix this? We recruit more authors and make it easy for them
|
|
to get started by among other things, giving them the clear option of
|
|
using LinuxDoc-sgml.
