[also, Sounds like Redmond, WA] I'm not trying to be rude or insulting, but IF a working documentation structure isn't able to be Resolved\Approved by those people that are spending their own free time on it, then 'Houston, we have a problem'. There is a difference between a releasing documents, especially those that can be change so easily like XML, and making revisions and what seems to be occurring; saying 'well, unless it is 100.01% perfect nobody gets to see it'. The advantage of OPEN SOURCE is the FREE EXCHANGE of information. This is most importantly includes documentation. Red Hat gave the Fedora project to the OS community because their focus shifted to Enterprise level sales and service to make a profit. By extension that means that WE are able to set standards. [aside: until recently monster.com had a job posting for a DocBook person at RH. It is since been removed] If FC is to progress to FC3, and gain traction, then it requires, and demands, a large, free and accessible Document set. While there are a number of 'document' sites. I will say that most of them are a hodge-podge of minor tutorials and\or a document here or there on FC. Not a dedicated single source for FC in an easy to read, DocBook format. Lastly, I understand that I am new to the group. I understand that I don't post alot and am still trying to master DocBook syntax and d'l the examples, but I will mention that I have 10+ yrs of computer programming & training experience. I know from experience that if you don't provide a basis for knowledge for others to build on then the product, no matter how good, is destine to fall by the wayside. Brad
