I found a link to <http://www.linuxbase.org/spec> and ended up spending the better part of fifteen minutes trying to figure out what exactly it was that I was looking at. Do you think you could include an abstract or a pointer to more information for people who access your site through this link? It seems to be referred to from quite a number of sites.
Proposed wording: What is the LSB? The Linux Standard Base (LSB) is an effort to | develop and promote a set of standards that will (this part lifted | increase compatibility among Linux distributions from the mission | and enable software applications to run on any statement on the | compliant Linux system. cover page) For more information, see the < mission statement > (link to cover page's mission stmt) on our home page, or the < detailed list of goals. > (link to goals page) Naturally, the actual standard itself contains a fair amount of background information as well. I would put this near the top of the /spec/ page, and additionally change the subtitle "About the Specification" near the end of the /spec/ page to something more representative for that section, such as "Obtaining the Source". Hope this helps, /* era */ (Sorry if I'm writing to the wrong place, I couldn't find any other feedback address for comments pertaining to the web site.) -- Too much to say to fit into this .signature anyway: <http://www.iki.fi/era/> Fight spam in Europe: <http://www.euro.cauce.org/> * Sign the EU petition
