As most of you know, I was off the the GNOME Desktop Help Summit this weekend. I thought I would mention a few of the highlights very briefly: Yelp (the app used to display About Fedora and the Fedora Release Notes) will undergo some major changes in GNOME 3.0. Probably the most interesting of these changes is that Shaun has been working hard to reduce dependencies on larger packages so that Yelp is less of a problem for other desktops. Shaun is also looking at ways to allow Yelp to find documentation in the KDE help locations as well as GNOME locations. For a while we had some KDE developers online and they seemed amenable to some of these ideas. I don't know whether we will get to "One help system to rule them all", but the prospect of delivering help to all the desktops in a consistent manner seems within reach. We also talked about the ten top things doc writers should avoid, which Milo posted on his blog. (http://milocasagrande.wordpress.com/2010/03/21/what-you-shouldnt-do/_ For me personally, it was very instructive to see how different the project dynamic is within GNOME, and especially Ubuntu, as compared to Fedora. I was also impressed with Shaun and especially his responsiveness to community needs. But still, the buttons are on the left. --McD -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
