GrokDoc Goes Live; All GNU/Linux Newbies Welcome

Posted by Hemos on from the pushing-the-world-further-along dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Writing at LinuxWorld, Groklaw's PJ asks "What Do Newbies Need to Make the Switch to GNU/Linux? and invites the world - literally - to help with answering the question, by participating in the wiki she and some colleagues have just launched. GrokDoc aims to turn the usual process on its head: "Instead of experts telling newbies how to do things, we will let newbies show and tell us what they need." Might be a fantastic way to help push Linux still further toward that fabled tipping-point."

    Greate way of judging the usability of modern day linux distros by refering to distros from 4 years back.
