What is that, yelp? This is already in the plan, as it were. I've got that part working even! (OMF creation and installation is part of the package process I've been working on, as well.) Right now a Fedora doc sits in "Other Documentation," about which I'm not entirely happy. I see you found the same top-level point-of-entry I did, the /usr/share/yelp/toc.xml file. > We could have a "Fedora Documenation" link added to the main TOC > (/usr/share/yelp/toc.xml).

The only problem I see with that, is that the yelp system doesn't seem to have any built-in way of dropping in modular XML to alter the ToC. (i.e., no way to have individual doc packages alter the table of contents appropriately on package install/removal). Therefore, changing it would be a departure from upstream, and I know that in general Fedora maintainers have been moving away from that methodology. I'm happy if someone says he will take on such a patch; if so, I'll Bugzilla it. As far as redhat-menus goes, I would think that changing that package is much less hassle, since upstream is Red Hat. I'm hoping Ray Strode will chime in with his take, since I see him prominently mentioned in the % changelog for both these packages. Ray, in case you are boggled for background, this is about getting official Fedora docs from the Fedora Documentation Project packaged into Core or Extras. (Our preference is the former, since these packages are small and not redundant with anything currently there.) -- Paul W.
