Thanks.  All contributions are welcome.

However, since the ALPHA/doc-project directory is intended for stuff
that circulates withing the documentation project (things still under
construction), not for stuff meant for public use, like your man
pages, it would have been better to put them into Linux/incoming, for
further moving to Linux/doc or Linux/doc/doc-project.

Don't take this as a flame, it's not.  The main thing is to get stuff
available, by whatever means.  If possible, though, I (and arl, I
understand) would like the ALPHA/doc-project to not contain stuff that
people should _use_, just stuff that people should _check_ and _work
on_.  Basically, ALPHA/doc-project is intended to make it unnecessary
to transfer a lot of large documents via mail, especially since the
mailing-list machine is overloaded as it is.  If you want to spelling
check, review, or otherwise work on a piece of documentation, look in
ALPHA/doc-project.  Likewise, if you have something that you want
spelling checked, reviewd, etc, put it into ALPHA/incoming and ask
arl@cs.hut.fi to move it to ALPHA/doc-project.  If you just want to
have a document or manual to read, you should stay out since the stuff
in ALPHA/doc-project is not necessarily usable.  Linux/doc and
Linux/doc/doc-project are for you.

The doc/doc-project directory should contain the stuff from the doc
project that is ready to be used.  It is empty at the moment, and
might possibly be for a few weeks more (writing docs takes time).
When stuff gets put there, there will be announcements.

Yeah, I bitch about the distinction between ALPHA/doc-project and
doc/doc-project because I am a control freak, but also because it is
better to have a clear separation between the stuff that can be
dangerously bad, and stuff that is checked and attempts to be
finished.
