Hey all. This isn't exactly apropos to this issue, but I saw "Qtractor"
mentioned and figured I would mention this: I recently completed about 100
pages of Qtractor documentation (licensed under the GNU Free Documentation, of
course).
It's available on
qtractor.sourceforge.net but I also maintain all of the
docbook source code (and by default I use Publican xsl, and I borrowed a lot
from the Publican infrastructure, so the code should be near-Publican ready)
on
gitorious.org/slackermedia
It seems it can't become a part of the official guide since Qtractor isn't an
official package, but in the future, if it does, now you know where to find
existing documentation :-)

Hi:
If I understand you correctly, we:
(A) already have that (see link below), and
(B) are not supposed to have it.
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/16/html/Musicians_Guide/chap-Mu
sicians_Guide-Planet_CCRMA_at_Home.html
Official Fedora documentation is only supposed to document packages in
the official Fedora repository. If we followed that rule, the
SuperCollider, Qtractor, and real-time kernel chapters would not be
allowed.
In the future, once SuperCollider and Qtractor make it to the official
Fedora repository, I will remove everything about Planet CCRMA at
Home. The only reason we have non-Fedora software now is that I didn't
know about the rule until after the Guide was published. And because
nobody told me to remove it.
What we can do is replace the "Planet CCRMA" chapter with a
"non-Fedora software" chapter. We can explain what software exists in
other repositories, and include a link to the Fedora Wiki. On the
Fedora Wiki, we *can* provide instructions for installing non-Fedora
software (as on the Flash page, for example).
It's not the most straight-forward solution for users, but I think
it's workable. Does anybody else have an alternate suggestion?
Christopher.
