It's already well documented like say the installation guide. End users
dont read much.

Every time I see a mention of RTFM I just cringe.
Michael brings up a good point about booting the first disc. Even as an
ambassador he finds the info hard to come by so why would you expect the
average user to home in on it?
You guys are always focused on Ubuntu because, I can only assume, you've
got user envy.
But with "end users don't read much" it's no wonder there aren't as many
Fedora users.
And if you want to take an example from a distro that's gowing at a pace
that will pass Fedora on by, you should be looking at the reason why
PClinuxOS is now in the top 10 at DistroWatch.com. (a few months ago it
was 10, now it's 6. What does that tell you?)
Is because of their community.
New users are greeted with open arms. Questions that have been answered
hundreds of times continue to be answered as if it was the first time.
If you need an example, check out

New user question. The specific answer. Followed by where to find more
information. Then success for the user.
My best advice for Michael and Rahul... Tip of the week! Not only would
you be helping novice users, but you'd get people into the documentation
to do a little more learning on their own.
I'm sure a tip of the week would be a welcome addition to Fedora Weekly
News.
