Linux Security Guide

[Eric Christensen]

Just FYI, the Security Guide[1] has been converted to xml with the next
step of being integrated into the Linux Security Guide that is being
developed by Mike Hideo and others.  A list[2] has been established for
this project.

I'll be working on developing and converting the draft portions of the
Security Guide[3] into xml so they can be incorporated down the road.

I'm curious, why have a separate list for the development of a
particular document?  Wouldn't this be an attractor project if it was
seen and contributed to by the hundreds of people already on this
list?  After all, people in this team have been asking to participate
with Red Hat's Docs team on these sorts of guides for a long time --
long enough for some of them to have left by now, and long enough for
others to have arrived looking to help.

Does that mean your plan is to discuss and develop the guide on this
list, and keep the bug content elsewhere as a courtesy?

Fair enough -- just know that there is a lot of value in the freed
content for building a stronger Fedora Docs community.  And now a
moment of choir-preaching: Communicate your plans and progress here
and help us leverage that into contributions that give you a higher
ROI for the time and effort it took to free the content.
