Mad Penguin Launches Slackware Handbook Project

Posted by timothy on Tuesday February 1, 2005 @01:20PM from the you-can-paint-this-fence-for-a-single-apple-core dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Mad Penguin's Adam Doxtater and Narayan Newton have launched a community-driven site dedicated to bringing the power and depth of the FreeBSD Handbook to Slackware Linux users. The site allows for the community to create and edit its own content. A simple voting system is in place to make sure the content that makes it into the handbook is of the highest quality. This is something that has been needed for some time and the idea of being able to edit our own material is really nice. A very unique project. Read the press release at LinuxPR.com."

The site seemed slow when I was browsing it. I got a mirror up at here.. I'm on a new server, so I gotta break it in with some traffic.

This is the 2nd post I've heard that mentions this. Is there a story or something I can read? I'm sorry, this is just TOO GOOD to be true, so I'm a little skeptical. (tho maybe I shouldn't be, they did shitcan katz).
