Hi, as I mentioned on IRC, I think this is one of the most important things Fedora is missing in making us a more newbie-friendly distro, so I'm really excited to see Sijis working on this :-) One example of the problems I see from the user's perspective is the ease of searching for certain information. If you look at the results for: http://www.google.com/search?q=opensuse+apache http://www.google.com/search?q=fedora+apache the difference in the quality of the results is astounding. Another example of the type of user resource that I'm trying to describe here is http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/Index:Tutorials (although maybe including some even more basic topics, like how to use yum, or how to setup sudo, etc. - the helpers in #fedora could be an excellent group to ask about what types of docs would be useful). One thing I'm curious about is what you guys think about doing these sorts of howtos via the wiki vs. the knowledge base. Although the barrier to entry for a knowledge base might be a tiny bit higher, it might have workflow features that you guys would find handy. How do you all think we can approach starting an effort to create this type of friendly, "task-driven" HOWTO-style documentation? Thanks, Ricky
