1. Separate guides for GNOME and KDE. Xfce will be included if time

+1
2. A single guide which points out which apps are "native"
to which
window manager, but emphasizes that they can mix and match
apps as desired, again with the required libraries installed.
Hmm, this is getting a little too jargon-y for the stated audience,
methinks. Remember the DUG is for Grandma.

Finally, regarding the Fedora 7 default home page, we need to ensure
that the link to the new guide is flexible enough to point the user to the
final version for Fedora 7, while we still have a draft version on the wiki
on which to work for Fedora 8.
Note: The assumption that the end user does not have root access
makes little sense in light of the fact that most users will need to
do updates and want to install new applications. Please correct me
if I am wrong in this regard.
The topic of software updates and installation, though, is not something
the DUG should cover, so the assumption doesn't hurt in this case.
That's likely for the System Administration Guide. The DUG can easily
contain a pointer to that resource of course.
