My biggest question here:
Do we distinguish between "documentation for using Fedora" and
"documentation for helping to produce Fedora"?
A lot of the stuff that is "documented" on the wiki is process for
contributors. "How do I get a package into Extras?" "How do I get an
account in the accounts system?" And so forth. These seem like living
documents to me.
Do you have some good examples of wiki documents that you'd like to
formalize?
I know a lot of our docs process is on the Wiki, and formalizing that
stuff makes sense, since it's not often going to change. For subjects
like the examples you (Greg) mention, I would think that trying to
formalize that stuff would be like trying to herd cats. Just look at
all the changes in the last six months alone! I doubt we need to insert
ourselves into that particular work flow. Is there stuff on the
development side of the house that's a little more static, and would be
a good candidate for formalization?
