I would like to first respond to Nathan's email,
"Not everyone who uses Fedora has easy, unlimited to access to the internet, so at some point we need to get the new Xfce guide available in some downloadable form. But the wiki is definitely a good place to develop the guide."
Great point, never thought about that, we should absolutely cater to those individuals. As far as the format, I'm not really a fan of PDF but I am sure individuals in the mailing lists have some ideas on how to make this portable for users.
Upon brainstorming, I thought that perhaps we use wiki as our testing grounds for what goes into the Official Documentation. We can all decide what makes it in, and while transferring it to Official Documentation we can also create portable formats for users. I think we should branch Wiki documentation into two areas, Stable and Rawhide, because I know some users already compile and use the newest releases and updates for Fedora and we can get a jump start on Rawhide Documentation by allowing those individuals to contribute in that wiki. Rawhide documentation could then transfer into stable after review and finally transfer to official docs prior to Rawhide's release.
That sounds good to me.
Currently, f13/f14 have 4.6 and rawhide has 4.8, so there will be differences. It would be good to keep them seperate and work on them each.
I like the idea of writing up drafts and getting it put together before we import it into publican to allow widespead docs. :)
