Last night at our meeting we had a discussion of options for presenting installed documentation. By way of background, we have traditionally provided the Release Notes and the About Fedora document in yelp. A few other documents were placed in the /usr/share/doc/HTML directory prior to Fedora 11, but no links were provided to those documents. Some were actually in html, others were plain text. As of Fedora 12, all the documents are available in html, html-single and pdf, but only the Release Notes and About Fedora are installed by default, and only a handful (maybe one) are available as installable packages. Publican packages documents as a single language per package, which can be extremely clumsy if one wants multiple languages. However, the package creation is totally automatic and hence appealing. Release Notes have been traditionally packaged manually, and that has continued since converting to Publican. There are also delivery alternatives, but I see them as a separate issue, so I have focused solely on the presentation under the assumption we are including documentation that has been installed via traditional Fedora installation vehicles. I've put together the presentation options as I see them at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Desktop_Documentation_Presentation_Options I am sure there are other possibilities, and there must be advantages and disadvantages to all the options that I overlooked. I would ask you to review the wiki page and ADD TO IT. Document issues and advantages of any of the schemes that you can recognize, and also ideas for other approaches.
