+1 to updating icons and adding irc clients.
Adding clawsmail is a good thing in my opinion; in the past, it seems
like we've stuck to the defaults for things like communications, but I
see no reason that a well written section on a nondefault application
shouldn't be put in the UG as long as it is maintained. I'd be curious
to hear other opinions on that.
Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, kirk; everyone should know
that my laptop is in the shop and I'm having some issues getting a
loaner, so most of my computing is via iPod, I.e. Iimited.

Is there a link to something like a "writer's guide," for us
rookies? I don't know if, or what, we can add to the document
pages. Are we limited to the programs loaded at Fedora's
installation?
We have a style guide.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/StyleGuide
That said - it's just about impossible to know what programs are
loaded at installation for any given machine, so the answer is no.
I've been working on the Communications page of the User-Guide for
F10,
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=User:Kirk202/User_Guide_-_Communications&action=edit
If someone has the time to look it over and let me know what I need
to change I'd greatly appreciate it. I'd like to start on another
page but would like to know whether or not I'm doing it correctly.
Yesterday I discovered I should have been keeping track of all of
the changes. The biggest changes I made were:
1. Added Claws Mail..should I delete it?
2. Putting the icons at the under the Heading at the
introductory statement without the statement that its the "default
icon for the program." I think I need to change some of the icons
because they are different in the F10 that I'm running vs. those in
the F9 guide that I used as place-holders.
Could be - feel free to do so if appropriate.
3. The TOC was under the introduction (F9) and I can't get it place
anywhere except the top, no matter where I try to put it in the
body of the page. Where's it supposed to be?
Don't worry about that - it will go away when you move to Docbook -
just concentrate on content.
That said you add non-Hx content prior to the Hx and it appears above
the ToC.
Finally, the Communications page doesn't have an IRC program, ie,
X-Chat, or Chatzilla, maybe due to our guidelines?
That's probably an oversight. Since fp.o uses IRC as a main
communications channel we should definitely include IRC in my
opinion.
I'd think x-chat for Gnome and konversation for KDE.
Thanks for starting your work with the Docs Project.

Thanks David. This is very helpful. (Hope I'm replying to this
correctly) Appreciate the link to the Style Guide. I'm excited
working with the Docs Project, albeit lots to learn.
I'll work on x-chat & Konversation tomorrow and read the Style Guide
as
well.
What's non_Hx content, Hx and fp.o?
