It would be nice to continue to have a ham radio presence within the LDP
(other than the AX25-HOWTO). Terry, can you briefly synopsize the
requirements that a HOWTO must conform to? Is the problem with the current
HAM-HOWTO the lack of "how to" information?
Would HOWTOs (actual "how to" documents) on more specific topics (e.g.,
Satellite-Tracking-HOWTO, Morse-Code-HOWTO) be acceptable? Such documents
would be useful in their own right and would provide a means of promoting
ham radio within the LDP structure.
Are ham radio applications a significant enough subset of Linux operation
that a book within the LDP (a companion to the LUG, you might say) is
reasonable?

The software catalog is a useful thing, be it in the HAM-HOWTO, in other
forms in the distribution (.rpm/.deb) or on the Web. But it would also be
good to have a more step-by-step document for the ham new to Linux.

Consider this your second response. :-) What needs to be done?
