I think this is a fantastic idea. Actually Ryan did a set of conceptual
mockups for such a thing. We need some help developing the design omre
and also someone to build it, though. We could advertise it during the
ransom notes in anaconda if need be.
The idea here is that it would be a desktop app that would aggregate
information from ask.fedoraproject.org (as a kbase backend) as well as
the Fedora docs, so you could search all places at once. If you were in
a rough state and couldn't access the network or use the desktop, you
could access those same resources directly on line and get the answers.
We'd have to populate ask.fedoraproject.org with some good
question/answer articles though for this to work well, but it's pretty
easy to do given the content.
