Fedora documentation on the desktop

[Murray McAllister]

Hi,

Are there any plans to include the Desktop User Guide, Admin Guide etc
on the Fedora desktop (eg, System->Documentation)?

I can help with these if there is...

Thanks!

Murray.

Is there anything that can be done to help have the documentation in
System->Documentation before Fedora 9 Releases?

Yes we can finish the pages of so we can transfer them to docbook and
get the new screenshots up.

Does anyone know when the new artwork is going to be installed?

Apart from that the major alterations back to F8 can be done so we may
have two systems. The current pirut etc pages can be kept to be used for
F8 documentation but personally I would think if we work with F-9 and
then continue per release then it would be better but thats my opnion.

Cheers,

I tend to agree that working towards the future release is a better
idea as it 1) reduces workload and 2) means that we have more time to
have this stuff prepared and up-to-date.

I'm not sure we can enter packages after the feature freeze point.  But
that doesn't mean we can't have this done in Rawhide and for F-10.  We
have stubs for this already in our CVS toolchain, it just needs some
polishing and process docs behind it.

We can always put in packages that are added later, and even put forward
a (new?) Documentation group of some kind.  This won't help it land on a
default desktop, but that is more a matter of spin owners.  We might be
able to get e.g. the various desktop-oriented spins to include our new
packages in a spin update?

Regardless, agreed that the more we can offer to install and help, the
more Fedora users will be told about/find it, and etc.

What format does fedora want on the desktop? Currently fedora desktop 
rpms, produced by publican, are html-single. It is possible to ship, 
html chunked (boo, hiss, curse) or XML (boo).

Cheers, Jeff.

XML has its privileges too -- it's easy to include those docs in the
System > Help, at least with yelp and khelpcenter. :-)  We do this
already with About Fedora and the Release Notes.  Maybe there's an
enhancement to be filed there...?
