Comment (by james):

 A random text brain dump I'd done is at:

 http://james.fedorapeople.org/yum/cheatsheet.txt

 ...which is mostly notes for me, so I appologise in advance if it's
 unreadable for people not me :).

 My guess at something to start with was to have 2 cheatsheet pages, the
 first being "basic" stuff for new users (although may contain some tidbits
 that people already using it don't know atm).
 The second maybe something with the plugins/etc. ... that much less people
 are going to know.

 I'd figured something a4/letter size should be good, but I'm not sure how
 big the text is better being ... or how much space should be taken by
 "blocking" the text. So I'm really not sure how much text should go on
 each page (looking for input from someone with style :).

 I'd also had some ideas about being able to do "compression" (Eg.
 install/remove/upgrade/downgrade all take very similar arguments -- see
 above) ... but there's obviously some tradeoff there between compression
 and "unintelligible" (again, any advice is appreciated :).


 So, in short, it all depends on how much work you want to do ... anything
 from just "use this .blah file, and create these boxes like so and put
 text into them", to taking my insane technical mumble and creating a work
 of beauty ... all would be much appreciated.
