Hi :) Just my opinion, not a rule or anything - and i'm not at all certain this is the best route but would it be best practice to just give links to "official" documentation provided by whoever maintains those projects or/and give advice on how to get help directly from the command-line, eg
dpkg --help or dpkg -h and how to access the "man"(ual). That might help us avoid falling behind if there are substantial changes. It would help if whatever documentation we link to is editable (like our wiki-pages rather than a blog) so that we could help there update there documentation a bit if something extreme happened. Perhaps give links to the "community documentation" provided by a couple of the major distros? I think it does make sense to cover the basics and perhaps any likely problems that might typically happen with LO (if there are any) but avoid getting too deeply into documenting it?
