Hi:<br><br>The Fedora Musicians' Guide is an official document being prepared by the Documentation Project. This carries much more weight than a wiki.<br><br>That said, increased participation would be great, and the Musicians' Guide is already on the Fedora wiki in my User: pages. These could easily be transferred into the real wiki, and maintained in sync or independently of the official documentation, but I don't know if that sort of duplication is a good idea. What we certainly could do is write complementary chapters with programs that aren't (yet) in the official guide. Besides, as an open-source project, the official guide itself is already like a wiki in that people with free time can contribute with what they know best.<br>
<br>As for the current state of the Guide, the (terrible) first draft has been finished for a week, and is available on the wiki. It's now been converted to DocBook (the format used by the Fedora Docs website), and is stored in a git repository on a <a href="http://fedorahosted.org">fedorahosted.org</a> account. The plan is to post a draft to the Fedora Docs website this Tuesday, incorporating many improvements. I'll post a notice to this list when the draft is ready - the more people who can read it and find errors, the better!<br>
<br>The wiki version of the Musicians' Guide, from this point, is not the most recent version. Notices will be posted soon to indicate this.<br><br><br>Christopher.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 30 July 2010 18:11, Bernardo Barros <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bernardobarros2@gmail.com">bernardobarros2@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

people with some free time could contribute with they know best? There<br>
is already the FLOSS manual for Ardour and PureData that has already<br>
done some work in this direction. And it is nice because you can make<br>
a snapshot of the wiki and print a PDF from the website.<br>
