I recently looked at a bug where somebody wanted to know how to make lpr printers show up in the print dialogs, since in his environment, lpr is used (bug 232009, if you are interested). Our default printing configuration uses cups and we don't want to show two printing systems in the print dialog by default, since that would be confusing. It is however pretty easy to configure GTK+ to show lpr instead of cups (or both, if you want) - if you know how to.
I wonder if we have a good place to put this kind of non-default configuration information, maybe a howto section in the wiki, or something like that ?
And what (if any) are the steps I should take to make sure that useful information like this finds its way there ?
Thanks,
Matthias

A couple ideas:
1. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Printing - seems self-explanatory, but on the other hand I can't tell whether it was intended to hold user help content. That's what I'd search for if I were a new user.
2. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ - catchall for some common problems, but again, this may be too "weedy" for that page.
3. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Bugs/FC6Common - in the area called "Less Common Issues," possibly? There is also a "F7Common" page for the upcoming release.
Does a knowledge base system get easier to implement with Plone as the engine for our web site? I'm pretty sure it does, which would make one-off issues much easier for users to enter and docs people to edit into publication shape in small, bite-sized chunks that could entice new Docs contributors to help out.

+1
Even if we start with some funky kbase module, let's make that a priority. We need somewhere new to put content that comes into the relnotes feed, btw, other than just in the relnotes (where not all belongs.)
