Re:Make it easier to contibute content first (Score 1)

Although I only learned about it from other comments for this article, it seams LDP only takes documents in DocBook format, which is some kind of SGML/XML thingy that you have to specifically learn and that is not supported by commonly used word processors like OpenOffice and (gasp) Word.

This is totally and utterly false! (Others have already said so, but I say it again.)

Please read about the submission process. In particular, note #3 which says:

You may choose whatever format you feel most comfortable in.

Also: DocBook *IS* supported in OpenOffice. More on this page about the different programs that support DocBook. http://www.tldp.org/LDP/LDP-Author-Guide/html/tool s-edit.html
