Need Second pair of eyes & have a question

[Kirk]

If anyone has the time could you proof these two pages  that are for the
F10 User Guide.  I've looked at them so much I'm blind, but I
think they're finished.  

https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=User:Kirk202/User_Guide_-_Com...
&
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=User:Kirk202/User_Guide_-_Tou...

Question:  I've placed two small screenshots on the page and would like
to link them to a larger screenshot that shows more detail when the
small one is clicked. How do I make this link?  (this is the page I'm
referring to:
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=User:Kirk202/User_Guide_-_Log...
)

Thanks,
Kirk Z

I made some edits to both, and tried to do it in one shot each.  Feel
free to incorporate any of the changes you like and rollback the ones
you don't.

I thought they were both really good.  Just nitpicks, typos, and other
minor stuff.  No major re-writes or anything.

I'd love to see Thunderbird added to the communications guide at some
point.  It might be especially useful to have a section - or totally
separate guide - on how to bring all of your Windows Thunderbird
mail/contacts/settings into your new Linux desktop.

Thanks for the help Adam.

I'd thought about adding Thunderbird and then spaced it, I think it
should be there too so I'll add it to it.  I don't know how to bring
the Thunderbird over from windows  to Linux.  I've got XP installed in
VBox along with F10 so I'll try and figure it out.  If you know how I'd
appreciate a few hints.

It looks like the kind folks over at mozillazine.org might have taken
care of this one for us!

Screenshots in general are a bad idea for the more formal guides, for
a couple of reasons.

First - it requires every translation to have someone replicate your
work - and that's something that's currently outside of the l10n
workflow, as well as being a ton of work.

Second, it's a maintenance nightmare, as you are no doubt seeing with
icons. They just change too much, sometimes even mid-release which
makes your content less than useful.

That's a really good reason that I had never noticed before. In that 
light, I misadvised Kirk before - sorry about that.  I always forget the 
translators (which is terrible of me, I know...)

I'll take them off, it's not a problem.  Thanks for the info.

What we need is a Koji-like thingie that takes a specification for the 
screenshot we want and produces a .png in all the languages.
