This calls to mind my recent topic on bugzilla components.  Where do
we want people making feature requests (RFEs) for the User Guide?

Ah, the answer is clear; since we are going to convert to XML, we'll
need a new fedorahosted.org site.  We'll add a Trac instance and use
that for upstream feature and bug tracking.

I suppose what we need is a bugzilla component, but that is the open
question.

Matthew -- if I get us the fedorahosted.org space setup, can you
convert some of these in to tasks to track there?  I haven't done a
full fhosted.org setup yet, so I'll document it as I go. ;-)

As we find pages like that (and put them in [[Category:Documentation]]
and/or [[Category:How to]]), we can link to them from the User Guide.
This gives us nice longevity and control -- the UG stands alone a bit
better as a starting place, and let's us wikify some of the stickier
how-to details that change as the release progresses.  Anything
pertinent can migrate to the UG, for further translation etc.
