Ah, yes, you understand. :) This is an important thing to put up front in the Quick Intro[1]: you don't have to know DocBook to start a document. This removes a perceived barrier to entry. Give me a few days to turn the process document back around that came out of the discussion this week. It's in DocBook and I'm doing a style edit plus adding a few items that came up this week. - Karsten [1] I Tammy's piece could have a name like Quick Introduction to How to be a Fedora Writer, aka Quick Intro.
