1. I hate my life
2. I hate bottom posting (are you sure we can't change to top
posting<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style>
?)
3. It's been incredibly painful :D but I managed to get the first draft of
the "Quick Guide" done. Here it is(*):
http://issuu.com/borchi24/docs/fedora_quickguide_v1

Now we need:
- some comments
- 2-3 people to take care of the content (write/select from wiki the
apropriate text for each box)
- pictures and stories for the 2 "case studies" (I also can buy the pictures
from bigstock and write "fake" stories but...)
- 1-2 people from "art" to help me with the layout
- maybe some cross posting to the marketing / docs / art

Volunteers pls let us know you're interested and maybe we'll have an IRC
meeting to set details.

Best regards,
Ewan Luca
