There were just sadly about three other competing ideas when the > merger came and no one seemed to agree on anything useful it'd seem This is my biggest personal concern. I don't want our Big Fedora Ax to takeover the good work done by others. I don't see a need to compete in a doc niche unless there is a need. Such as the existing docs are worth replacing. :) > > ignore > > it and let it continue as it is. any other ideas? > > If Max is happy with what he does, I say lets point to it.

However, if there is anyone who wants to be the writer in charge of such a derivation, that would be a Good Think to Know. I don't want to start such discussions without someone committed to doing the work we agree upon. I don't think we can possibly replace fedorafaq.org. I know we don't want to. I would be concerned that our derivation would draw people from fedorafaq.org that need to be there instead. It would be awkward to have a huge "Tip" at the start of our FAQ that then vaguely suggests searching somewhere else for answers if you can't find them here. Especially if our FAQ became highly ranked. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Red Hat SELinux Guide http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/selinux-guide/
