Please provide an explanation of the LSB
I found a link to <http://www.linuxbase.org/spec> and ended up
spending the better part of fifteen minutes trying to figure out what
exactly it was that I was looking at. Do you think you could include
an abstract or a pointer to more information for people who access
your site through this link? It seems to be referred to from quite a
number of sites.
Proposed wording:
What is the LSB?
The Linux Standard Base (LSB) is an effort to
| develop and promote a set of standards that will (this part lifted
| increase compatibility among Linux distributions from the mission
| and enable software applications to run on any statement on the
| compliant Linux system. cover page)
For more information, see the
< mission statement > (link to cover page's mission stmt)
on our home page,
or the
< detailed list of goals. > (link to goals page)
Naturally,
the actual standard itself
contains a fair amount of
background information
as well.
I would put this near the top of the /spec/ page, and additionally
change the subtitle "About the Specification" near the end of the
/spec/ page to something more representative for that section, such as
"Obtaining the Source".
Hope this helps,

(Sorry if I'm writing to the wrong place, I couldn't find any other
feedback address for comments pertaining to the web site.)
