documentation process

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi

I have been in the LDP list for sometime and the
review process there is something like this

* Author submits the document link to the discussion
list
* Peer review is done by volunteers in the list
* If the document is generally agreed upon to be
included  the author would then update the document
according to peer reviews
* The document would be assigned to editors who would
then do a language review as well as a technical
review( need not be the same person).
* It is included in LDP and goes through a yearly
review to make sure its relevant and kept updated.
* If not the document author is contacted off list and
gently advised to make appropriate updates
* If the authors cannot maintain the document it is
moved to the unmaintained list or someone else takes
over the maintainance or even completely removed where
it is deemed necessary(gross inaccuracies or such- ex:
kernel howto)

The author as well as reviewers howto has more
details. Fedora docs project should probably adopt
something similar if its not done already

regards
Rahul Sundaram
