I am fine with using the yum guide as a basis for the "Installing and Updating
Software Guide". I've only done a few basic pages, so it's no big deal for
me
to start over at this point.
Do we need any permission to "move" it from the Redhat site to the wiki?
Absolutely not, it's really *our* space anyway. You are free to use it
however you wish. Consider this a "copy" operation for now, and we'll
copy your updates over in the near future, God willing and the creek
don't rise.

I found references to a DocBook->wiki conversion tool in the Summer of
Code section. I couldn't find any instructions on how to perform this function.
Can you do this or give me pointers on how it can be done?
I think we only finished the other side of that conversion (wiki -> DB),
but this side is actually less difficult. Do you mind checking around
the lazyweb to see if someone else has done it already?
