Same here. With those HOWTOs I was able to learn networking from scratch in home without actually having internet connection. Good times :)
> Would anybody else write new HOWTOs?
I always wanted to, but because I'm not native English speaker I was always afraid to publish anything.
Still i think it could be very beneficial - especially that we all observed dozen of forums and websites just vanished over the last decade or two, but those documents are available to all as simple Linux package.
- throwaway823882 5y agoI'd volunteer as an English editor! I know I would want someone to help me translate into other languages.
- JasonFruit 5y agoIf this comment is any evidence, your English is good enough that I would be able to learn from what you write.
- Skunkleton 5y agoYour writing doesn't give you away as a non-native English speaker. Please write HOWTOs!
- megous 5y agoBarely anybody will care about your English if you'll write about something people want to know about, or if you're just sharing your passion. I publish bunch of technical writings ad hoc, just because I like to share about something I worked on with Pinephone (https://xnux.eu/ https://xnux.eu/) and other things, and nobody ever commented about the language.
- Anthony-G 5y agoI’d encourage you to go ahead and not let your worries about command of Englsh hold you back. The best thing about the Internet is that it allows people to work together and improve each other’s work. E.g., I’m a better editor than I am a writer and I’ve had a few patches accepted for fixing the English in the README of useful projects.
