Hi Aidan,
Thank you for your response to my email and I appreciate your time to further clarify your project's goals with me.
I apologize as I've misused the term 'centric'. I think 'oriented' may be the better word. It seems that most, but not all, Fedora remixes focus on a "ready to use out-of-the-box" desktop system.
I figured if the TigerOS team, or other remix team, had relatable desktop documentation based from Fedora Workstation that they found missing from Fedora Docs, and wanted to add, having a centralized point would make it easy for future contribution. I
understand that your focus at-this-time is in regards to remixes.
Thanks again.
Regards,
Shaun Assam

abkahrs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxAidan KahrsSincerely,Thank you.I also noticed your comment about remixes being desktop centric. That makes me think that you could possibly be confusing a remix with a spin. If this is not the case, I apologize for the misinterpretation.Shaun,That may be something for the future. At this time, the TigerOS team is mostly interested in documenting the process of creating and maintaining a remix and how that differs from the process of maintaining Fedora(e. g. remixes are smaller and may not have the same amount of infrastructure available, smaller team sizes, etc.). We want to create documentation to help others interested in creating a remix do so in a scalable and sustainable way.

I was wondering, if we had a section in the docs that is focused on the Desktop (Fedora Workstation) would this help remixes like TigerOS and Korora have a central place to contribute documentation? From my understanding, the remixes are desktop-centric. Is this correct?
Would something like this be feasible to also allow other remixes to contribute base documentation in the future?

Shaun Assam

My answer is that the docs.fp.o site is the right place to do this. When you have some asciidoc formatted material you're ready to contribute, I'll help you establish a repo. If you want a repo to work in now, I can set you up with that too. Let me know. > 3.

This is why I was wondering if having your docs built partially from our docs for Fedora Workstation would help you focus your efforts solely on what differed for TigerOS. regards, bex > > I hope this is helpful.
