One major advantage Microsoft developers have over their Linux counterparts is that they have access to MSDN (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx) (Microsoft Software Developer Network), a magnificent online developer resource. Linux has had nothing to compare. Until now.

The Free Standards Group (http://www.freestandards.org/en/Main_Page) (FSG), a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and promoting open-source software standards, announced today that it has partnered with O'Reilly Media (http://www.oreilly.com/) to offer similar services to Linux application developers as part of its LSB (http://www.freestandards.org/en/LSB) (Linux Standard Base) Developer Network.

best news, for weeks hopefully we'll see alot of fresh ideas, new programmers and more support.
Its a total win/win for the community, the fragments that already exist, does slow down things.
I wonder if they would be willing to accept help on this, like allow devs to get involved.
