While there definitely is a place for a comprehensive install guide that covers every single installation case, perhaps it'd be nice to have a shorter, less intimidating version that goes through the defaults that most brand new users would go through. As an example of what I mean, openSUSE has some friendly, screenshot-filled install guides that they link off of their download page: http://en.opensuse.org/INSTALL_Local http://en.opensuse.org/Installation/11.1_Live_CD one striking fact that I noticed is that even with those tall screenshots, both of those pages are not much larger than just the table of contents page of our install guide (http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f11/en-US/html/). Sure, those pages don't cover the install process even nearly as completely as our docs do, but from the perspective of a new user who just wants to go with the defaults and get to a working system, that style of documentation seems *really* nice. I'm very interested to hear what you guys think about that - would Zikula perhaps make it any easier or nicer to manage smaller documents like these? Thanks, Ricky
