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.

I just wanted to let you know that I believe this is an excellent idea; and also share my observation that permission-specific documentation (at the basic or "atomic" level) seems to have been a low priority so far, and I believe it would be very helpful to many people to have this type of documentation available.
