I'm looking for somewhere to get started on the wiki, and I'm not sure
where to proceed?
You can play in the sandbox:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WikiSandBox
or view the code of any page to use as example.
Just looking briefly at the "Getting Started" page, I
believe a few
improvements could be made. It's overtone is very professional, which is
intimidating. I also think things like Graphic User Interface and Window
Manager should provide links to wikipedia so the user can learn more
about the topic if they wish. Wikipedia is provided in the Free Content
bookmarks folder in Fedora 7t4, so I don't think that would be an issue?
I think the wiki is the wrong place to try and explain such things
though.
I used in some of my pages links to Wikipedia, so don't see a problem
with that.
Consider adding at the bottom of the page a "References" section and
list there links for further reading, but I don't think any term have to
be referenced, the Wiki is not for complete newbies (IMHO).
Also, I don't see a way to upload images? There is a saying
"a picture
tells a thousand words", and I believe it's true. I don't even see a way
to add images though? Screenshots (of a particular section of relevance
on the desktop) would greatly clarify what things say, and provide an
air of confidence for the user "I must be doing it right, it looks the
same".
Use "Attachments" in the right menu to upload and attachment:filename to
include the attachment in your page.
