We welcome your comments on the Linux Documentation Project (LDP);
but remember that we are a volunteer organization with limited
resources so we can't do everything. Feedback will be sent to a
mailing list that is only for discussion of LDP issues, so please
don't ask technical or general questions about Linux.
We again wish to stress that these lists are for the discussion of issues
related to the LDP; including
such topics as: the creation, maintenance, and translation
of documents (HOWTOs, FAQs, Guides, etc.); ideas for new documents;
issues involving the LDP web site; issues involving SGML processing
tools; etc.
For questions of a general Linux nature, may we suggest:
If you are clear on this policy, we welcome and appreciate your
feedback.

Each list is archived in two forms: text files (accessible by e-mail),
and from http://lists.tldp.org/
(with a mysql-driven searchable archive).
Listserver commands are available by sending an empty message
to <list-name>-help@en.tldp.org (eg. announce-help@en.tldp.org).
