I've registered on TLDP's wiki and their discussion mailing list. Some
time this evening, time permitting*, I'm going to look at the process
for creating new HOWTOs/guides, and put together a plan for building
such a comprehensive resource.

A good summary of what I have in mind at the moment:
* Build a list links to as much publicly-available material as possible
* Read through the links to build up an understanding of Bluetooth,
and Bluetooth+Linux
* Build an outline for the guide or howto, identifying links relevant
for reference for each part of the outline
* Fill in the outline, referring back as necessary.

If anyone wants to develop a good understanding of Bluetooth, and a
good understanding of a wide variety of Linux subsystems and use
cases, this might be a good way to learn; Bluetooth is primarily a
typed transport mechanism, capable of tying into just about any part
of Linux that touches a computer peripheral.
