| FIXME | <note important>2nd Draft --- //[[wiki:user:nocturnal.slacker|V. T. Eric Layton]] 2012/08/27 19:54//</note> |

| This is going to be the paragraph which explains the goals of and vision behind this documentation project, and the "rules" that are applying to its content. Call it a "social contract" if you decide you want to contribute to the project. | Knowledge is power. Scattered and unfocused power is useless. To state it plainly, the vision and the ultimate goal of the //Slackware Linux Documentation Project// is to become the primary worldwide resource for all Slackware related information. This is a lofty goal, indeed. However, there is confidence that venerable [[http://slackware.com/|Slackware Linux]], the oldest actively maintained distribution of [[https://www.gnu.org/|GNU/Linux]], has the user base to accomplish this goal. You are invited to [[http://docs.slackware.com/start?do=register|join]] and be a partner in this endeavor. |

| <note warning>First Draft 082412 -vtel</note> | Who can help? Anyone can, from your uncle Ed who tinkers with Slackware on his old laptop to Linux gurus with development level skill sets. All are welcome. All can [[slackdocs:contributing|contribute]] something of value to this project. A wiki type resource such as this thrives on community. You've seen for yourselves what the GNU/Linux and [[http://www.thefreedictionary.com/open-source|Open Source]] communities have done in the past and are still doing today. Working together, the potential for success is greatly increased. |

| Knowledge is power. Scattered and unfocused power is useless. To state it plainly, our vision and our ultimate goal for the //Slackware Linux Documentation Project// is to become the primary worldwide resource for all Slackware related information. This is a lofty goal, indeed. However, [[slackdocs:contact|we]] believe that venerable [[http://slackware.com/|Slackware Linux]], the oldest living actively maintained distribution of GNU/Linux, has the user base to accomplish this goal. We urge you to join us in this endeavor. | This project will need article submissions that run the entire gamut of Slackware knowledge. There will be a need for serious technical articles on hardware control, software applications, Slackware Linux implementations in business and personal computing, system administration, etc. Articles will also be needed from the every day [[https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/so-you-want-to-be-a-slacker-what-do-i-do-next-644746/|Slacker]] on topics ranging from simple howtos to complicated resolutions and workarounds. |

| Who can help? Anyone can, from Uncle Ed who tinkers with Slackware on his old laptop to GNU/Linux gurus with development level skill sets. All are welcome. All can contribute something of value to this project. A wiki type resource such as this thrives on community. We all know what the GNU/Linux and Open Source communities have done in the past and are still doing. Together, the possibilities are endless. | Submitted articles, as with most wiki type resources, will be peer reviewed. Corrections may be needed, amendments added, and so forth. No article should be deemed unimportant. If it has relevance to Slackware Linux and will assist someone somewhere to better utilize this operating system, then it is a worthwhile article. What is being done here is being done for others. This is an archive of knowledge being built for the future. Your participation will be the mortar that holds the bricks in place. |

| This wiki will need articles on the entire gamut of Slackware knowledge out there. We'll be requesting serious technical articles on hardware control, software applications, Slackware implementations in business or personal computing, system administration, etc. We will also need articles from the every day Slacker on topics ranging from simple howtos to complicated resolutions and workarounds. | In order to fulfill the goals of this project, a reliance on civil discourse and the presence of a strong spirit of cooperation will be necessary. The rules here are simple. Be kind and considerate in your dealings with others. This project is not about individuals. It's about a community sharing and working together toward a goal. Your ego will not be a part of the //Slackware Linux Documentation Project//. Please leave it in the coat closet by the front door before you login. |

Your articles will be the backbone of this project. | That is the our contract with one another and with the future. |

| We are all here to build for the tomorrow by filling this wiki today with every bit of Slackware and relevant Linux knowledge that we, as a world community, have to share. The rules here are simple. Be kind and considerate in your dealings with others here. We are all a part of the whole. Your ego will not be a part of the //Slackware Linux Documentation Project//.
