I didn't write that part, but the site is a wiki-type setup where people vote for content so I guess its a more organic/"living" way of doing things.

It isn't saying that the Slack handbook is "living" and all others are "dead." -- Narayan On Sun, 30 Jan 2005 13:04:33 +0000, Ceri Davies wrote: > On Sun, Jan 23, 2005 at 11:13:40AM -0800, Narayan Newton wrote: > > Hello, > > > > We at MadPenguin.org are creating a website to recreate the FreeBSD > > handbook for the Slackware Linux distribution.
