The LDP has had the good fortune of having a multitude of excellent contributors over the many years of its existence. For contact purposes, the list below simply states the current/active members.

If you email us directly, please remember that we receive a <>LOT</> of email and it may take some time to get back to you. If you have a question about the LDP or would like to submit ideas or comments about the LDP, we ''strongly'' suggest that you subscribe to discuss AT en.tldp.org.

This list is in no special (hierarchical) order no member of the staff have more value as a people than any other one. Of course, the job indicated is only the main one, everybody collaborate in any part of the process.

= Coordinator =
September 2008 - [[jdd]] Jean-Daniel Dodin http://dodin.org

 * think I make now the work previously quoted as "leader" or [[http://tldp.org/jobdesc/chief-coordinator.html|Chief coordinator]]. I don't like the "chief" or "leader" because I was not elected nor choosed by any democratic approach like a vote. I do the work because I find it usefull and nobody else wanted to do it :-);
 * try to keep the LDP wiki in a usable status, creating new pages when necessary, often to summarise discussions or to frame them;
 * try to moderate the discussion list, trying to make discussions end usefully with decisions... not to say I can always reach this goal.

Also I have login rights to "reggae", the new (August 2008) LDP server, "gabber" (the mail server) and the main LDP site at ibiblio. I have some connections with ibiblio admins that allows me, sometime, to fix problems.
