My original idea behind the suggestion was to enhance visibility to the 
documentation in progress and potentially get more reviewers and 
contributors and bring in transparency to the project.  Fedora 
Documentation could sit into a portal with links and search for the 
following information

* End user docs
* Printed books -  Fedora books from 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Books and perhaps 
http://www.redhat.com/magazine/013nov05/features/bookreview/,
* Red Hat magazine
* Manual and info pages - see 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/FedoraDocsSchedule
* In progress docs (docs rawhide) with appropriate warnings
* RPM Package lists with meta data information about the packages.

RPM The package descriptions in many cases are vague or outdated. I saw 
a reference to the SELinux  in the IRC meeting logs which applies RPM 
package descriptions too. The Fedora documentation project should  be 
accountable for the end user docs, man and info pages, keeping track of 
printed books and active involvement and coordination towards getting 
more such books published even from the formal Fedora docs. package 
description and website content etc to cover everything comprehensively.
