We need someone to step forward as a lead writer for the DUG. Is that John? You certainly did the bulk of that work in the last months before release.
For Fedora 7, we can address some of the issues that we've known about, and which have come up in recent discussions:
* Adding KDE * Continue focusing around tasks (what you can do, how to do it) * Push concept material (what is) to other documents
For KDE, we'll need someone who knows KDE to write matching sections with the equivalent software. Anyone here interested? Or do we need to recruit someone?
Bart has wrote down the process he used for converting the Wiki to XML. While I'm tempted to keep it in XML and edit that directly, I wonder if we'll still get more and better content if we use the Wiki and convert in a few weeks.

Now that I'm back from vacation, I'll be glad to serve as lead writer for the DUG.

I use GNOME, KDE and Xfce. I can contribute to KDE, but could use some help. I'm not sure how much of Xfce we can cover this time, but there are some avid users who would appreciate the coverage.

I prefer editing the wiki, then converting it to XML as the final step. We also need to make sure that the link in the new default page is the correct one, so that we can avoid the complications with the Fedora Core 6 DUG links.

Welcome back, hope you had a good time

Probably best to work in the wiki. I presume it's the easiest the path to go, and it gets more attention (RecentChanges / rss-feeds / pagewatches etc). It's also easier to edit it and allows us to get other guys with more experience, like the KDE sig, to get their content in.
I'm willing to do the conversion to XML again, if we have a nice defined deadline, due to some heavy-loaded months coming up.

Welcome back, you seem ... refreshed. :)
Go ahead and set some schedules and stuff, there are a lot of people who have helped or expressed interest, so we can give some direction and go.

As we proceed, let's envision what we are doing as a framework that can be applied to different WMs.
For some content, things are the same -- for example, system-config-* are probably the best admin UIs to point at, until there are good enough KDE equivalents (or that is otherwise solved.)

Depending on how much changes, we might be able to do a diff on the wiki and manually carry over changes, rather than do a full conversion from scratch.
At the least, having all the existing structures in place will make it easier.
