Thanks! :) I did already start on it -
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/GuideToUsefulLinuxDocumentation
- - and I hope that it looks reasonably well so far. It would be great
though, if one or two more editors got involved to get more ideas for
links to more documentation etc.
This is my first piece of work on the DocsProject, so please don't
hesitate to tell me if something needs to be done differently/better. :)
