| schestowitz[TR2] | "That's a long email. | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Most of it is didactic (and probably well known here) and should be in a blog. | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | You regularly send such emails, | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | but almost nobody here makes the effort to give detailed and | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | meticulous writing as yours. | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | You should definitely try to see with GNUs if some of your writing may | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | be made into articles there. | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | https://www.gnu.org/ | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Otherwise, your inquiries should go in a blog | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or could make some articles on LibrePlanet wiki. | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Often, you mix the results of your inquiries with questions for the | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | points you don't know | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | like [6] above, it can be easily missed. | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I think you could separate the both, | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and compare what you have to say with what is already available on GNU | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | at gnu.org or LibrePlanet to see the main points and reflections you | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | bring to the table. | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | (It can be more didactic or more "historical", | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | you need to extract what makes your point of view special and | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | interesting to others. | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | The didactic questions in your email are pertinents and shows that you | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | want to teach others | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and find the best way to help them.) | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | And then find a way to publish these points, at gnu.org, LibrePlanet | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | or a personal blog. | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Since you do all this work, it should have some place to be "published | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | on the web". | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | I don't think many people will read the archives of LibrePlanet, | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | and, hence, I don't consider that it is a "full publication" on the web. | Jan 09 19:13 |

| schestowitz[TR2] | gnu@gnu.org | Jan 09 19:13 |
| schestowitz[TR2] | Someone there may help you, | Jan 09 19:13 |
