Me too -- the idea of drop directories is so well-used now, it's kind of a shock when developers *don't* use it. So while I do intend to make use of yelp (and likely khelpcenter), those solutions are not as pleasing, given the way Fedora development currently works, as using a "Documentation" submenu off the main menu. I'm not sure why that was removed in Fedora; in RHEL -- at least back when I used RHEL 2.1, and maybe in 3 too -- when you installed official Red Hat documentation, it ended up on the Main Menu under Documentation as expected. There may be a way to drop the Documentation submenu into the current freedesktop.org menu system in /etc/xdg, but I've tried eight ways to Sunday with no luck. Drop directories are supported there, but they don't appear to work the way it looks like they should. I've been through the fd.o standards without joy. Any insight someone else could provide would be much appreciated. -- Paul W.
