6.4. TLDP Review Process

Before your document is accepted to the LDP collection it will undergo at least two formal reviews. These reviews include a technical accuracy review and a language review. Each new document must pass both of these reviews before it is accepted to the collection.

When you feel your document is finished, email a copy to the submit mailing list. The review coordinator will assign you a team of volunteers who will conduct the reviews of your document. It may take up to a week to gather a team who is qualified to review your document. Typically the technical review happens first, followed by the language review. Your reviewers will read your document give you feedback on whether or not they think your document is ready for publication in the LDP collection.

Your reviewers may have specific points that must be changed. Once you have made the changes submit your document back to your review team. They will review the document again and advise you on whether or not your document is ready for inclusion in the LDP collection. You may need to undergo several edits before your document is ready. Or it may not require any additional work. Be prepared to make at least one round of changes for both the technical and language reviews.

Once your document has passed both the technical and language reviews, you may submit it by following the instructions in Section 6.5.
