Agreed that there is a need for computer education for people without experience using computers, but are we sure that Fedora wants to work on that problem? I think I'd rather see some common, upstream documentation that handles that, such as from GNOME and KDE. Then we can build from that as a base. > 1.

How do they not learn about it? Sorry, I'm not getting the initial point. In Fedora 9 and beyond, it is now PackageKit, and the main way to get it is through the same '''Add/Remove Software''' launcher. Because that is setup to be a sort of alias or abstraction layer, I wonder if we want to bother naming the application that currently runs underneath it? For handling software updates in the Fedora 9 version of the User Guide, it sounds like a good idea to keep Pirut/Pup documentation. Note they are a useful alternative that may have more features than came in the initial PackageKit implementation. > 2. 'kicker' is the whole of the main panel.

Is there a canonical reference? cheers - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Community Gardener Dev Fu : http://developer.redhatmagazine.com Fedora : http://quaid.fedorapeople.org gpg key : AD0E0C41
