FNU #13, Fedora docs

Fedora News Updates #13 is out. By far, the largest ever (not that this is the first time its a three-week summary). 18901 bytes. It’s getting mighty hard to write it with so many posts – start contributing folk, especially trawl fedora-list…

Fragmenting the Fedora documentation isn’t a good idea – we need a FreeBSD handbook or a Gentoo manual style of documents. Useful, something end-users, and advanced developers can always depend on, reliable, and consistient. A grand plan at some stage will be to move things like the Fedora unofficial FAQ/newbie install guide over to some Fedora docs project site. Currently we have many editors, but not many things to edit :( Is it learning DocBook XML that stops many? Or is it CVS that scares you? I’ve begun hanging out at #fedora-docs, though hardly much gets said there…

How about this: I got a little “urgent” e-mail, with a phone number, asking me to call them, so that their OpenOffice.org woes would go away. Anyone else gotten requests like this?
