I've poked through these, and these ideas look applicable to us: - Reporting Bugs (it would be nice to have a short walkthrough that we could link to, there's currently a mostly empty Wiki page for this: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ReportingBugs). - "Command-line survival kit". Basically a list of common tasks and which commands to use to get things done. Bits of sections 3-5: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/users-guide/users-guide.en.html They have a fair amount on the mechanics of how the distribution is run, and what packagers should know, which are areas where we are perhaps weak. Their user manuals are less impressive (IMO), as they seem to overlap with each other, and with TLDP docs - references for using the command-line, and short pieces on configuring network services. -- Stuart Ellis stuart@xxxxxxxx Fedora Documentation Project: http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs/ GPG key ID: 7098ABEA GPG key fingerprint: 68B0 E291 FB19 C845 E60E 9569 292E E365 7098 ABEA
