anyone wants to help with tutorials writing?




since it seems that i'm not that quick, i thought of trying to find some
good soul that'll help with writing of new tutorials. two types of
vulanteers appaer to be suitable for the job:

1. people who want to write a tutorial about something they know really
   well.

2. people who want to learn some area of unix programming, and would like
   to get some guidance, and to contribute to the community while doing
   so.

the only limitations (which might sound too great to some people) is that
the tutorial should be written in the same format and a similar style to
those i already wrote, and that the tutorials will be free for use (i
intend to put a "GPL-like" copyright on all the tutorials).

ideas for tutorials could be:

1. using 'man' as a programming aid (for beginners, with tips and
   explanations of how the unix manual and a manual page is set up, etc.).
2. unix "users" programming:  /etc/passwd (getpw*), /etc/group,
   reading/writing to utmp and wtmp files, the basics of suid/sgid
   programs, etc.
3. programming with RPC.

btw, this doe's not mean i've stopped "tutorializing". the Xlib tutorial
is coming along slowly...

thanks,
guy
