My understanding is poor but, as a new author, I would find the following
topics or URL pointers useful:
. Debian Documentation style guide
. Issues of the copyright notice block, licensing (GPL, LGPL, etc.)
. Designating authors and maintainers
. Registering a new documentation product with Debian
. Issues of citing sources, fair use, bibliographies
. How to make URL's pointing to other documentats that will persist when
the document is distributed (relative vs. absolute links)
. Placing local address tags inside a document, so other documents can
point inside the document
. Relationship to LDP and related projects
. Netiquette for the debian-doc listserv, etc.
