getting started (false start 1 of ?)

[Duncan Lithgow]

Hi all

I've just started reading the 'Fedora Project Documentation Guide' and
have some comments on it. Are the people who edit that document on this
list and tuned in?

As a newbie I'm trying to document some of my problems as I go, and I
want to use docbook for other projects. I'm familiar with XMLMind but
can't get anything working on fc3 to write/edit DocBook.

The first page of 'Fedora Project Documentation Guide' doesn't help me
at all. It first refers to 3 files I can get through yum (xmlto —
docbook-style-xsl — docbook-dtds) and then jumps into checking things
out of cvs.

So, on the very first page fedora docs has lost me.

I need two types of help
1. getting going with DocBook
2. who to talk to to make the docs newbie friendly
