What I suggest is this:
- Write up a brand new guide "What is a desktop and how do I use
one" (or something like that); 2. Pair that guide with a glossary[2] that has: i. Links to other glossaries so we don't have to spend our time maintaining a document of "What does login mean" ii. Provides definitions for terms unique to Fedora, Linux, and FLOSS 3. Have the new "What is a desktop" guide linked from the intro for all guides that are for new/beginning users.
Then we can have all guides say, "You need to know the material covered in X, Y, and Z." X, Y, and Z are then a set of guides that provide a base of common understanding that we can rely upon for the rest of the guide.
Does this make sense?

Bugs gratefully accepted. A bug filed against Fedora Documentation, jargon-buster can include as little as a list of terms. I'm happy to write the definitions. If a bug-filer wants to provide a definition for my use, that also makes me smile. :-) See? Smiling already!
