I looked around a bit and started wondering why there's such a
multiplicity of pages answering questions about Fedora. The purpose of
the release notes is to answer release-specific questions, for instance,
while the installation guide should answer question specific to
installation.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ -- makes a lot of sense, general
information about the project and the distribution.
+1
http://fedoraproject.org/Fedora7/FAQ -- Reproduces information from
the
regular FAQ, the release notes, the installation guide, and other
sources, and is clearly a maintenance drag
Agree the release notes should cover general questions, installation
guide obviously installation and regular FAQ distribution questions.
http://fedoraproject.org/Fedora/FAQ/Glossary -- Should either be
subsumed into the Jargon Buster at
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/jargon-buster/ or vice versa
The more documents created for the same purposes, the more maintenance
costs we create. Maybe we can have a few people looking for easy wiki
work start some discussions here (by replying to this message, perhaps?)
on how to streamline our wiki docs in a way that eases maintenance and
delivers the right information in the right channels. If that includes
bugs filed against any formal docs, so much the better!
Should we, have we removed it? I would say the jargon-buster is better
since it has the perception of containing jargon.
