I am one of the writer/editors working on the Fedora Documentation
Project <http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs>, and we are preparing a
set of Style Guidelines for aspiring writers and editors. In doing a
short survey of related sites, I came across the captioned guide
("GDSG"). Since all our documentation will be licensed under the GNU
FDL, as is the GDSG, we are very interested in using portions of your
Guide as source material. Your use of the GNU FDL makes this effort
possible.

As the individual who will likely take the lead on preparing the Fedora
Documentation Style Guidelines, I'm writing partly out of a sense of
courtesy, but also to commend you on an exceptionally concise and
readable guide. We hope that our use of the GDSG will make the process
of creating useful, contemporary Fedora documentation a more pleasant
experience for all our contributors. We also hope that we may be able to
build upon the exceptional work you've done in preparing the GDSG.

Please feel free to contact me back, or visit our list archives at
<http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/>.
