What about a better documentation ?
Release note of the last release tree (FC3t2) :
         o SELinux -- This includes a new "targeted" policy that monitors
            specifc daemons with less intrusion than the strict policy in use
            before. For more information, refer to:
		[2]https://listman.redhat.com/archives/fedora-selinux-list/2004-May/msg00096.html

Is it enough for a newcomer ?


From FC2 :

        Should you decide to enable SELinux, it is *strongly*
        recommended that you read the *Fedora Core SELinux FAQ*:
        
        http://people.redhat.com/kwade/fedora-docs/selinux-faq-en/


From http://people.redhat.com/kwade/fedora-docs/selinux-faq-en/ (FAQ!):

        for general and specific Linux distributions, and how to write
        policy, these resources are useful:

It's intimidating.
