I read over the Linux Start Pack at http://www.tuxradar.com/linuxstarterpack . This magazine is published by Linux Format.

I liked it because its very user-friendly, therefore, a good sales tool for people thinking about switching from Windows to Linux. The majority of the article is a comprehensive User Guide. The magazine came with a Live CD for Ubuntu so folks could follow along with the user guide and really get a feel for Linux and the distro. The article is 130 pages with about 85% - 90% being the user guide.

We should consider doing something like this when we can. We could follow a similar format and put it out in magazine form, if we have the resources, put it on the web, or both.

What is a user guide? Maybe some docs putted and linked together in a form which is more friendly with screenshots and tips? I think there is a huge power at Docs and L10n project and the material is really good. So, for start we can try to put together all the stuff and reconfigure it (screenshots, tips) in a more "user friendly" way. If we have good written, user friendly docs in many languages we don't have to do something from scratch.

It would be large project but worthwhile for getting the word out about Fedora.

Small touches, small entries and the guide will be ready on a sec! :)

Browse through it if you get a chance and see what you think.
