Hi Mike!  One of the biggest initiatives going on right now is cleaning
up our Wiki.  We're trying to make sure that pages are categorized
properly, among other things.  Come by IRC Freenode at #fedora-docs and
we can help you get started.

To pluck this out of the aether ...

One of goal is to make Fedora the leading OS for developers, especially
now that we can get most of the world's languages compiling natively in
Fedora.

There really isn't much Fedora-specific documentation for using IDEs,
such as Eclipse:

http://sourceware.org/eclipse/

If that is something you are interested in, especially tutorials and
how-to documents, I'm sure we can keep you happy. :)
