where to send observations/typoes in LDP author guide?

  perusing the LDP author guide, i've made note of a few
typoes.  is
it sufficient to just mention them here on the mailing list
and assume
someone will pick them up?

Participants in the LDP have been helpful in the past in
answering and
promoting a survey of mine (I asked why people contribute to
free
documentation), so I hope you'll try out and enjoy this
survey as
well.

ey_what.html

New survey: what problems do you have when searching for
information?

   The next time you have to search for information on any
topic, try
   recording your efforts in a survey I've just put up:

     http://www.pr
axagora.com/search_survey/

   Easy searches usually aren't interesting, so I'm seeking
submissions
   just about searches that covered three or more documents
(besides
   search engines). Relevant searches can be done online,
using print
   media, or both--and even other media such as radio or
film.

   The survey is designed to cull a variety of information
about
   searches, including:

     * When do people turn from online sources to print
sources, and vice
       versa?
     * Do people start with a trusted site in their field,
or toss the
       dice with a search on a generic search engine such as
Google?
     * Do people refine their search strings repeatedly in
order to turn
       up better results?
     * Are people happy with the quality of the documents
they find?
     * Do people follow references they find in magazines
and books? Are
       they more likely to follow references they find
online?
     * How useful are traditional book indexes compared to
online
       searches?

   You can also help this research effort by telling
colleagues about
   this survey. It's not limited to computer information;
I'd like to get
   results from people in many areas.

   I plan to use the data to enhance the [59]research I've
done during
   the past three years on community documentation. I'll
publish articles
   about my findings on the O'Reilly Network and report on
them at
   conferences. Ultimately, I hope the survey will:

     * Encourage authors to add more links and references
that help
       readers find relevant background and related
information
     * Spur developers to create software that makes it easy
for readers
       to add such links.
     * Guide web sites to developing more focused search
tools, tailored
       to their readers' interests.
     * Enrich discussions about new search strategies, such
as those
       suggested by the recently unveiled
"[60]Automated Content Access
       Protocol (ACAP).
     * Uncover other techniques to help authors and
publishers find more
       effective ways to offer information.
