None of that content is directly relevant to Fedora; to make it relevant either requires a user who can make the mental switches, or a writer who edits the content to make it fit. Also, I don't think that content is licensed for us to use in any way other than to read it. But ... hmm ... there has been discussion in the past of having a kbase.fedoraproject.org that is a stand-alone knowledgebase. If we opened it to all Fedora account holders and had kbase articles queued for this team to edit (part of a workflow), maybe we could build up something very useful. I could see many discussions on e.g. fedora-list or fedoraforum.org being worth migrating into a kbase article. So, this is an idea to follow, but not sure if we can directly connect such live content into a handbook. Certainly as a source for inspiration, such as finding out the most commonly asked questions to give an idea of what people need us to write about. > And finally don't forget > > http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/ref-guide/ > http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/security-guide/ > (e.g. the vpn question) > http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/selinux-guide/ > http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/step-guide/ Heh, I could never forget those. :) > Obviously these are not fedora docs and most people using fedora know > about them, however not everybody, and these are not compatible > everywhere, but I am sure there are some useful peaces.

Let's not make any plans that require that content, which is too bad since it would provide such a huge base to work from :(, but let's be prepared to be surprised. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
