Hey everyone,

I am just starting a thread that will list all the VALID use tags for 1.1a release. I would like to then take this list and make a more complete document. I hope there are many people out there like me who want to get involved with projects of the linux community. We can start with more documentation to make it easier for all of us. So i am asking anyone reading this jto add to post and i will make a formal pdf html and other format we need of this. Thanks all
