Hm, if there is a lack of documentation you can't use a lot of systems. Obviously many people can use Fedora despite of a current lack of documentation (as we see from FC1 to FC4 :-) ), nevertheless I would vote to have the documentation in the core package (at least in the long run). Perhaps it is possibly to differ between several documents. - User guide (if we would have it), yum guide, release notes, etc. part of core - program related guides bundled with the program (e.g. Samba guide in the Samba devision), either in core of extra, depends on the programs location - guides about broader, but special themes in extras (e.g. rpm packaging guide) > Putting Fedora on a diet was discussed > endlessly before and after FC4, so I'm not sure we can make a great case > for getting docs into Core. As long as we don't have localized docs the documentation doesn't need so much space, I suppose. > Nor should we really bother -- Extras is > not a second-class citizen or a myth, It isn't indeed. But may be you need some kind of documentation before you can use it (e.g. yum guide) or even know about it. > * I would like the /usr/share/doc/HTML/index.html file (which is part of > fedora-release, and comes up when people launch Firefox) to show a SHORT > and informative menu on how to: > > * Read the release notes > * Install and update software, in particular Fedora docs > (i.e. "yum install fedora-docs\*" plus link to Stuart's yum doc) > * Access fedoraproject.org, especially the Wiki > * Get involved in Fedora (probably also through fp.org) Very good idea in my opinion!
