3.3. LDP Author Guide: New outline

Emma Jane Hogbin felt that the LDP Author Guide was overwhelming to new writers, and wrote a new outline for the same.

3.4. Re-indexed LDP documents

M. Lee Cooper had suggestions for LDP study guides. Such a guide would consist of a reading list of LDP documents, HOWTOs and Guides, on each topic. Chris Karkas said that re-indexing the HOWTOs under various criterion would be of added value. However, a categorized list of HOWTOs is already available.
