Edward Haddock started this already, from the angle of just trying to understand the sign-up process: http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2006-April/msg00023.html Edward -- if you want to write that up in plain text, OO.org doc, or whatever you are most comfortable with, another of us can convert it to XML and make it build with our toolchain. Then you'd have a good, XML reference source to continue work from. We can also generate a barebones outline in XML, with chapters sparsely populated with content ready to fill out, based on your outline. Just two moving-forward ideas. :) > 2.

I'd like to see the Wiki graduate content into the CMS, just as it graduates contributors from the lower-level tools to the upper-level tools. This models the growing pattern we all have as writers, from basic content to more advanced content. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Editor * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Fedora Documentation Project http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject Learn.
