1. New documents

1.1. Fresh@LDP

Salvador J. Peralta sent in a new mini-HOWTO titled Scripting Graphical Commands with Tcl/Tk Mini-HOWTO. The document provides a cookbook-style tutorial introduction to Tcl and Tk, a scripting language and graphical toolkit that were designed to accomplish that very task.

1.2. Submitted for review

David Braun submitted a document called the Disk Encryption HOWTO. He awaits your comments. We also have a Loopback Encrypted Filesystem HOWTO in our collection
Mirko Lindner sent in the man page for the sk98lin driver
Peter Bieringer revised his Linux+IPv6 HOWTO, which will be v1.30 at the next update.
Daniel Nofftz sent in some minor updates (updated links) for the Athlon Powersaving HOWTO.
Daniel Quintiliani did not get much reviews yet, so give him a hand with his Xnews under Linux HOWTO.

2. Updates

2.1. HOWTOs

Short reading-list this week:

We received news from Ian Ward, who published v1.1 of his Debian and Windows Shared Printing mini-HOWTO.

2.2. Guides

Two items from the Spanish TLDP site:

The Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide is ready.
The Guia del Usario de Ruby should be here according to http://es.tldp.org/, but the work appears to be in progress.

3. Feedback and Contributions

You can help The Linux Documentation Project by:

Reviewing one of the draft versions of the documents in progress.
Picking up one of the unmaintained documents.
