Re: Linux KB: Open Invitation IRC Chat

[Michael Viron <mviron@wsdo.sao.uwf.edu>]

Unfortunately, I will be unavailable on December 5, 1999, as I have a final
on the morning of December 6, 1999.  After about 10:30 on Thursday,
December 9, 1999, I will be available to discuss whatever issues you might
have with the documentation for the software we are developing.  At that
point, I will probably start working on neatening up the development
documentation (and possibly working on a prototype design for the
documentation we plan to include with the software when we release it--if
anyone has any thoughts on what we would include, let me know, and I can
gear my efforts that way.)

I have pretty much dropped off the LPI project except as a consultant--so
that will free up a large amount of time that I've been having to dedicate
to those development efforts.
