We finally got Paul's excellent work included in the Doc Guide. This style guideline is largely derived from the GNOME Documentation Style Guide. We have customized it, fixed some (!) errors, and generally stood on the shoulders of giants. Writers and especially editors should be thoroughly knowledgeable of this: http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/documentation-guide/ch-style.html And should be familiar with these or the concepts embodied there: The Elements of Style, by William Strunk. Online version: http://bartleby.com/141/ The Chicago Manual of Style, by the University of Chicago Press. Online version: http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/ Paradigm Online Writing Assistant, maintained by Chuck Guilford, Ph.D. Online only: http://www.powa.org/ We'll work on following these guidelines throughout Fedora documentation. We will all continue to make the same mistakes, no matter how experienced we are. This is why we edit each others work and have style guidelines to remind us of what and why. cheers - 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/
