Anyway, in case you didn't care to search the archives, I'd like to re-post a list of a number of introductions, most of which have been available for a while (read: long before Eric Raymond started whining).

No, it's not unnecessary. I have a master in Computer science but for several days now, I'm trying to make my way throught the jungle of SGML stuff. This mail thread showed me that it's not me who is completely stupid, but other people have problems with the documentation, too. Thanks, Eric Raymond. Once you figured out how it works, could you please publish a good tutorial? Yours, Volker Paul
