As far as tools, debiandoc-sgml would be a good package to get. There are a few pages of docs for it under www.debian.org/doc/. I've been hanging out on debian-doc for a few months now, and I've yet to see something like a documentation sponsor. That's exactly what's needed. The Documentation Coordinator listed at www.debian.org/doc/cvs, Adam Di Carlo (aph), mentioned he's going back to documentation after his extremely busy boot-floppies tour of duty (to end soon), so undoubtedly he will be able to provide answers. He's certainly been very helpful to me in the debian-boot area. -- *----------------------------------------------------------------* | .''`. | Debian GNU/Linux: <http://www.debian.org> | | : :' : | debian-imac: <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | `. `'` | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | `- | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------*
