documentation plans

Since the release of Fedora 7, we have been watching the statistics for
our new content location, http://docs.fedoraproject.org.  In a recent
thread on f-docs-l[1], Google referrer statistics[2] show that SELinux
questions are a sizeable percentage (over 10%) of incoming search terms.

Unfortunately.  Why?  Because:

* The content they are hitting most is the FC3 SELinux FAQ
* The top search keyphrase is "disable selinux", with "selinux disable"
as number four (all of which take you to the FC3 FAQ)
* Users cannot find anything useful that we'd want them to have

The proposal[3] of the Fedora Docs team is this:

1. We gather all content that we have[4] that is not Fedora-specific and
push that up to grow and be maintained on selinuxproject.org

2. A Fedora Docs writer, Paulo Santos, will help watch that content on
selinuxproject.org.  This becomes a new location for us to collaborate
on distro-neutral community docs.

3. Paulo works up Fedora-specific content, from what exists in Fedora
and added to by all of you, and that becomes new "SELinux for Fedora"
content that Fedora Docs plans to maintain.  Your help is much needed.

4. In all the locations where you find SELinux content
in .*fedoraproject.org, we repopulate or redirect to a single Fedora
SELinux content page.  From that page we link to the upstream canonical
docs on selinuxproject.org and provide the Fedora variant on that
content.

Barring someone stepping up and putting a partial or full-time resource
on this writing, a job I no longer do at Red Hat, this is going to be
the best way to generate and maintain SELinux open content.  By using
open collaboration tools (Wiki, Plone), it will be *much* easier for
someone such as Dan Walsh to do a brain dump and have it be polished,
formalized, and published.

Thoughts?
