Mad Penguin Launches Slackware Handbook Project 86

Posted by timothy on Tuesday February 01, 2005 @09:20PM from the you-can-paint-this-fence-for-a-single-apple-core dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mad Penguin's Adam Doxtater and Narayan Newton have launched a community-driven site dedicated to bringing the power and depth of the FreeBSD Handbook to Slackware Linux users. The site allows for the community to create and edit its own content. A simple voting system is in place to make sure the content that makes it into the handbook is of the highest quality. This is something that has been needed for some time and the idea of being able to edit our own material is really nice. A very unique project. Read the press release at LinuxPR.com."

phew. for a moment there i thought they misspelled "death".

Jokes aside, what's so remarkable about documentation that everyone contributes that warrant s a news post? If I started a "all you need to know about open source" wiki and posted the link, would it be accepted? (if so, it's time to get some advertisers and start rehashing news)

You're talking about the American political system, right?

Oh, wait. . .

Or maybe the focus groups that are Hollywood's excuse for mindless movies.
