- Anyone interested in helping to write Linux documentation should join the
- "Linux Documentation Project" (just the DOC channel of the linux-activists
- mailing list). We're trying desperately to consolodate these independent
- documentation efforts. We're already writing the standard set of Linux
- documentation which will cover everything listed here; and we'd really like
- some help. Contact me or Lars (wirzeniu@cc.helsinki.fi) if you're interested.
