This includes the creation of HOWTOs and Guides, and collaboration with other documentation groups. If you've always wanted to help Linux reach Total World Domination(tm), but you're not a programmer, there's still something you can do. Help the LDP! The LDP keeps a page of resources for authors at http://www.linuxdoc.org/authors/. Contributions are always welcome. For more LDP Weekly News, go to http://www.linuxdoc.org/ldpwn/ -- David C. Merrill http://www.lupercalia.net Linux Documentation Project [email protected] Collection Editor & Coordinator http://www.linuxdoc.org Windows is an utter kludge, the ultimate tar baby, sucking you in, making things harder and harder, until you are hopelessly snagged and stuck, exhausted from fighting with it, resigned to despair. It is an inscrutable, god-awful mess, a disaster waiting to happen, a bonehead botch-job jammed with you-can't-get-there-from-here idiocy. They could train soldiers to kill by forcing them to struggle with this. --Paul Somerson, PC Computing
