Linux Documentation Project: Authors - Contribute / Help | |||
The LDP is always looking for people to assist in the
quest for developing and
providing free, high quality documentation for the
GNU/Linux operating system.
Potential volunteers should become familiar with the information
contained in the
LDP Author Guide
(formerly known as the "HOWTO-HOWTO").
They should also consider joining the general LDP discussion
list (discuss@en.tldp.org).
Let us know what your skill set is, what you would like to
help the LDP with, etc. We are always in need of
volunteers!
If you wish to volunteer to assist in the document authoring process,
here are some tasks that require attention:
Work on a technical or language
review of a new or existing document.
Provide markup assistance for
various documents.
Become an owner for these (currently)
unmaintained documents.
Write a new HOWTO, FAQ or Guide. Here is a list of
documents that are
"in progress".
You can also suggest a document (one
that needs to be written, or included from some other source) that
you believe should be part of the LDP collection.
First and foremost, consult the
LDP Authoring Guide
(formerly known as the "HOWTO-HOWTO").
For additional guidelines on style, examine the
GNOME
Documentation Style Guide.
Documents related to DocBook can be
accessed below.
