[PLUG] Linux, a path to literate engineers?

[Richard Owlett]

Maybe the subject line could have been, "Linux 
documentation, a training ground for engineers learning to 
write well".

While slogging through Linux documentation (sic, or should 
that be sick ;<), I've been recalling what the chairman of 
the freshman English program said of my writing ability 50 
years ago - "Hopeless".

What is the feasibility of editing current first time 
installer documentation as a semester (or longer) project? 
I'm thinking this could could be done with either high 
school seniors or college freshmen.

Comments? TIA
