Double-check User Guide bits

[Ben Cotton]

Docs friends,

I'm sending this e-mail because I've come across a few things while
updating the User Guide and I want to make sure I'm not missing
something before I do last-minute, hurried, major edits.

* Sound Recorder [1] -- doesn't seem to exist in a default install,
and I can't find it in PackageKit

* CD/DVD Creator [2] -- no longer exists, but Brasero is installed by
default (the F13 UG says it isn't, but my F14 VM has it without any
effort on my part)

* We make a few references to the iPod [3] -- shouldn't that have a
&TM; or something similar after it, or is that not a big deal?

Please let me know if I'm sane or not (at least as regards to the items above).


Thanks,
BC

As per the Docs Project Style Guide

"Never use the trademark symbol (™) or the registration mark (®). If
for any reason the Fedora Project is obliged by contract to mention
other trademarks in a legend, add the legend as required by the
contract.

In addition, all documentation should contain the disclaimer: "All
other trademarks are the property of their respective owners." This
marking is standard in all Fedora Documentation toolchains at the time

Brasero is there on the LiveCD even before you install.

Ben,

Re bullet 3, see here, particularly the top paragraph, for how to denote 
the iPod trademark.

Thanks to everyone who replied.  I'll summarize the answers below in
case anyone wants to refer back later:

It's in the gnome-media-applications package.  This is either not by
default or was skipped because my VM didn't have a sound device
connected at install time.

Brasero is in fact a part of the default install.  CD/DVD Creator
exists, but not in the place the UG said it did.  I've updated the
references accordingly.

We have a Style Guide for a reason. I should remember to take a look
at it every once in a while.
