We need to differentiate between document that sucks and documents that 
simply dont exist. I think people are complaining about the perception 
of non existent documentation. What end users generally consider Fedora 
documentation is available in http://fedora.redhat.com/docs but thats 
not the whole story. There are thousands of documentation available in 
man, info pages and /usr/share/docs. Also published books. I would go 
back to my idea of making a documentation portal which combines formal 
Fedora documentation, the results of rpm -qd (%docs in the spec) of all 
packages from the build system published in revisions,  published books 
in http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Books, work in progress docs 
(http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsRawhide) and so on into a easily 
searchable and referenceable format. Throwing in links to RHEL docs 
(http://redhat.com/docs) cant hurt either since most of it is usually 
applicable to Fedora users too. . We can potentially identify the 
quality of the existing formal docs and understand better what end users 
are looking for in a separate survey. Then we of course need to get more 
contributors to fill in areas that are either not documented or poorly 
done and go ahead and market the opportunity based on survey results.
