2. Documents submitted for review

The guide contains lots of examples and exercises at the end of each chapter, demonstrating the theory and helping you practice.

4. News in The LDP world

• LDP review coordinator
  

  Tabatha Marshall, our review coordinator, takes some time off from TLDP in order to focus on her own publications - she writes novels for teenagers. Meanwhile Emma Jane Hogbin takes over Tabatha's tasks.

  Talking of a break, LDP could do more with your help. We need volunteers to do language and technical reviews. Greg, who published the LDP documents, and Sergiusz, manager of our mailinglists and the CVS, could also do with some help. The best way to start getting involved and help the LDP would be to first join the <discuss@en.tldp.org> mailing list.
