Perhaps this is something you could raise separately with the Fedora Docs team. I'm just getting back from some travel during which I caught wind of some new documentation standards being produced by the GNOME docs community to make documentation more task-based, with which I agree whole-heartedly. Also, our own Docs team is working on providing an easy way for people to retrieve and install language-specific documentation such as a user guide which would integrate into the desktop menu system. (I'm pretty sure that integration is desktop environment-neutral.) The confluence of those two developments might provide some better docs at the desktop level. -- Paul W.
