Hi!

LinuxPapers (http://www.linuxpapers.org) is a new GNU/Linux-related
project. It is a database of articles, published online and added to and
updated frequently, that can help all levels of Linux users improve their
practical knowledge about Linux and make the most out of their Linux
system.

The project is run by a non-profit organisation called The LinuxPapers
Group (registered in Italy in 1999).

LinuxPapers is coordinated by a small group of people from various
technical backgrounds that work closely together (even though we are
spread out over various parts of Italy and the world).

Our goal is to obtain sponsorship so that we can adequately pay the
people that contribute to the database. Right now, we do not have a
sponsor and we cannot pay our contributors.

The articles are released under the LinuxPapers License, and are Copyright
by The Linuxpapers Group. The LinuxPapers License is an adaption of the 
Open Publication License, so that mass publication of LinuxPapers articles
is also covered. 

To start, we have published two articles on the LinuxPapers site
(http://www.linuxpapers.org/). More articles will be published each week.

Please go and visit the site, and let us know what you think about it (send
your comments to comments@linuxpapers.org). We may not be able to
reply to comments, but we will read all of them.

Please read the LinuxPapers FAQ,

Thank you!

The LinuxPapers Group
