I've already signed up with the Fedora document project and am deep into the first documents. I use KDE myself so I'll probably not sign up as a Gnome writer except maybe for specific Gnome apps I like or a more general part of the process.

What I would like to see is more cooperation between KDE, Gnome and other desktop managers. Linux is about freedom right? Yet distros like Ubuntu don't even bother including KDE in the base install. Gnome under SUSE can be a real pain. What major distro doesn't include not just both but other commonly used desktop managers?  I'm seeing clique like behavior. Elitism and snobbery that will turn people away from Linux in droves.  The C/C++ snobbery has already hurt Linux badly. I'm sorry but not everybody like C based languages. We should be bending over backwards to accomadate people not drive them away from Linux.

My 2 cents.

Thanks, Paul. Most "great ideas" have already been discovered. I
never assumed that there would be funding available. What I propose
is making this a formal project, perhaps using Sourceforge as a focal
point. We can then make it known to the FOSS community at large.

I'll check out your lead. If it's a Red Hat employee who's already on the
same wavelength, so much the better.
