Fully agreed. But :-) In order to achieve a comprehensive and well structured "Fedora Documentation" I suppose some over all planning is helpful. And despite being community driven somebody has to make the initial step. I think the FDSCo is the only one who can this do. Such a framework being available may inspire one of the other lurkers here to contribute a chapter. (By the way would be interesting why a lot of people are just lurking. May be they have no time left, may be they get no idea what to contribute under the restriction of their time table). > [ .... ] > Hope that's a helpful summary. It is, yes.

OK, this is highly speculative and to some extend a matter of personal taste. But perhaps there is too much information about too many different topics on the initial page ( http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/ ). May be you should consider to restructure it a little bit. In the upper part you should place text and link to the available end user documentation (currently it mainly is internal project documentation, not what I would expect intuitively as "Fedora Documentation"). It should be followed by a short presentation and description of the goals of the FDP, and link to the page, where where all the ongoing work is listet (the current EditorAssignments). May be a more descriptive label is "ongoing work". There shouldn't be other links around it so it's easy to perceive. Next may follow a paragraph about the need for contributers and here a link zu the new contributors page. Again, just a single link in the paragraph. At the ende there should be all the information about the project details and all the other links, especially to the details page.
