Yes, *if* we were writing natively in XML, *then* it would be easier to do a three-way output. Easier than a Wiki. Not easier than a one-way output from a well-integrated outline. But we are not writing natively in XML. To do this, we would need to duplicate the current Wiki structure, Include() like crazy, keep it all together ... then stitch it into the three-way output from XML approach. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but it's frankly too late in the release cycle to consider taking the "longer and possibly more rewarding approach", especially when the reward is so murky. Rahul - try this: "You are using the default install, right? Then refer to the Fedora New Users Guide for GNOME ..." You're going to be checking that the install is default, anyway. We're producing the KDE et al versions because people said it was important to them. Of course, none of those people have shown up to do the actual work, but they sure seem to show up to complain about it ... I'm sure there are users who love KDE and want to see this DUG version happen; if we can create the structure for them to see and possibly work from, maybe we can attract their interest in working on it. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
