Yes. Bugs in documentation are:
* Typos
* Grammatical errors
* Inaccurate or unclear technical instructions
* Feature request
* Add a section
* Reorganize sections
* Cover new content
* Drop coverage of old content
* etc.

CVS is the concurrent versioning system that is used to store
documentation (and program) source code. We use
cvs.fedora.redhat.com.
For more information, try
http://www.cvshome.org/ and Google, of
course. :)
Apologies.
I do know what CVS is, but misunderstood that you were refering to
a general bugzilla CVS.

Actually, we really need a "How To Use Fedora Bugzilla" document. Your
situation is not abnormal. FOSS tends to assume a lot about users that
is not always fair.
Feel like being a usability editor of such a document? :)
I'm certainly happy to help in any way I can.
I guess in this case it would have been best
if there had been a simple Help file at the bugzilla site.
I'm currently trying to work out why remote use of CUPS
seems to have ceased to work since I went over to FC-4.
I must look around and see if there is a simple CUPS howto
(I certainly don't think the official CUPS documentation
could be described in that way.)
If I don't find any such HOWTO I shall certainly pen a few words.
