I wonder if we can get something like this: >docs.fedoraproject.org >----------------------------------- >- Fedora Documentation > -- Fedora 20 Release Notes > -- Fedora 20 Installation Guide > -- System Administrator's Guide # continuous release > -- Burning ISO Images to Disc # continuous release > -- etc... >- Legacy Fedora Documentation > -- Everything that isn't continuous release or that is targeted to >an EOL release >- etc... > > >-- >-- Pete Travis > - Fedora Docs Project Leader > - 'randomuser' on freenode > - immanetize at fedoraproject.org QA is actively working on updating their wiki space and writing tutorials for new contributors - which might be useful for the Docs team when it comes to writing guides (at least, I hope they'll be useful :) ). I second Pete's ideas here. Pandoc [1] is a great tool for converting between different forms of markup - which would make life a whole lot easier when it comes to people submitting short articles/tutorials. If there was an easy, plain-text, means of writing tutorials and submitting them, rolling release documentation and tutorials would be fairly straight-forward to implement. Anyway, just a thought!
