I'm not sure I agree the guidelines should be incorporated. These
have nothing to do with the debiandoc-sgml itself, but more with how
the documentation should be written (for instance, using debiandoc-sgml).
If we switch to another DTD and/or set of tools, the guidelines should
still be applicable.
Integrating the "How to get started ..." is a good idea. I've already
copied the ddsample.ta.gz as well as printed the proposed TOC. I was
already planning on extending the debiandoc-sgml manual, so this might
be a good starting point.

These still have me listed as author. Could that be made blank or
whatever, since I orphaned them. This also applies to the User
Reference Manual, the System Administrator's Manual, and the Network
Administrator's Manual.

Although not maintained within the DDP CVS are, it probably still
would be nice to have it on the pages, together with the gidelines
(see above). Maybe we simply have to put it under the DDP CVS
instance so I can update it when a new release of debiandoc-sgml is
done.
Thanks,
