The main thing is to review the current content and make the following
changes:

* Remove out-of-date information
* Update FAQs to reflect current reality
* Add new content

The best and fastest way to do this is directly in the XML in CVS.  The
FAQ is written in DocBook, and is very straightforward.  If you haven't
written in DocBook before, it is about 10% more difficult than HTML, and
100% more rewarding.

To set this up, go through this page ... you want to follow the steps in
"Signing Up".  The most important step is 4., where you sign up for CVS
access.  "Submitting Your Own Documentation" covers the details of using
DocBook and CVS in this project.

If you cannot take that route, people in the Fedora Documentation
Project can take your changes and incorporate them ourselves.  For
simplicity sake, I recommend that you use a plain text output of the FAQ
to edit.  We can then run a diff against another plain text output, and
manually make the changes in the XML.

Here is a plain text output of the latest (1.3-8):

The next version starts at 1.5, as I've been using the minor release to
indicate which version of Fedora Core this version of the FAQ relates
to.

Thanks very much for your interest,

- Karsten
