G'day folks,
So we're going to "write a book at FUDCON".
Participation in this crowd-sourcing experiment will not be limited
people physically at FUDCON; anyone, anywhere on Earth with a FAS
account and internet access will be able to participate.
I want to make the book something as accessible as possible, as the
main things here are to trial the approach and give people an
opportunity to use the system. So something deeply technical like
"Advanced SELinux Policy Writing Guide" is not a good candidate.
So I'm thinking of a book along these lines:
"Introducing Fedora"
It contains user stories ("my first Fedora"), anecdotes ("the best and
the worst"), use cases ("What I'm doing with Fedora"), a chapter on
Downloading and Installing (with links to more detailed
documentation), what to try ("cool things in Fedora"), and where to go
for more information / help.
What do you think?

I think this is an ideal book, since almost anyone can write some
meaningful content for it. This enables the experiment to run its true
course, rather than being limited by the technical barriers to entry
posed by the book's topic. Count me in.
