But you see, that's the problem. I'd gladly help out with this (writing
that AWE setup tutorial has whet my appetite for doc-writing), but there
are still too many things in LINT that aren't totally clear to me (I'm sure
I'm not alone in this), and where to find the needed information is fairly
mysterious in some cases.
Perhaps if each person responsible for item X in LINT could simply provide
a pointer to any existing documentation for their particular contribution,
a simple "see man X" or "see /usr/share/doc/foo/X" in LINT, might at least
get us off to a decent start.
I'm just grabbing at any possiblity here. :-)
Incidentally, if you've checked out my AWE tutorial and see no problems
with it, feel free to include a pointer to it in LINT, if you like:
