Hi!
i was updating the entry of my lug on lugww and i took a look at that
page.
First of all, i manage also www.linuxsicilia.it and it was strange to me
to go to www.linuxmafia.com...
So, your version of 2004 needs some updating, like some LUG directory
listings are not still on place, like redhat and instead Ubuntu has a
working one.
Also, i was thinking about some suggestion.
At last, if you agree, i'd like to put an italian translation of your
page and could be that we could take and translate some argument of your
linuxmafia to our linusicilia.it...
Let me know.

P.S. Why you choose linuxmafia???? I'm still laughing
To more directly answer your question: Someone who aspires to maintain
a Linux Documentation Project HOWTO acquires the source form of the
HOWTO, patches it, and sends a revision to LDP. The source for this
particular HOWTO is in LinuxDoc SGML. You can fetch the head version
either from my Web site (http://linuxmafia.com/lug/) or from LDP's
revision control system.
To generate HTML (or other) usable formatted versions from LinuxDoc
SGML, install Matt Welsh's linuxdoc-tools package, then do:
$ linuxdoc -B html User-Group-HOWTO.sgml
By default, that generates the multi-section form of the output
and that this does the single-page variant:
$ linuxdoc -B html --split=0 User-Group-HOWTO.sgml
The person revising the HOWTO then (after test-generating the output
format or formats to make sure he/she didn't introduce a tagging error)
sends the revised SGML source to LDP's submissions process as the new
master copy.
LDP encourages people to participate, and at the same time encourages
newcomers to try to work with existing maintainers, e.g., for people
to not step on each others' toes. In my case, the original author of
the LUG HOWTO, Kendall Clark, asked me to take it over from him, and
I agreed. I hope to keep maintaining it, and always appreciate help,
suggestions, and participation. Natually, nobody's immortal, either,
including yr. humble correspondent, so I'm delighted that other people
want the LUG HOWTO to remain a living document. Kendall and I made
sure the HOWTO is under free licensing (Creative Commons
Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0), so that it can be lawfully adopted even
if we both are suddenly hit by a bus. ;->
