Hmm, you mean a Chapter titled: 'Need More help?' Or 'Expanding Your Experience!'. I like to use casual headings. No Problem, this is something that is not just for the two of us, so obviously, other bodies will come in as the booklet evolves.

That is another load of work. I think we should focus on one and get it done. Adaptation should be easier especially coming from other Ambassadors who major in those distros.

Having a CD pocket sounds neat. I like it The size of the booklet > pages are 155x125 mm, and with including the covers can be up to even > 16-20 pages if we need that. Well,I was considering production costs. I always consider the possibilities of engaging a local press. While the cost of press may be cheaper in some countries, it may not be so in others. However if we count for each section 2 > full page (one left page what continues on right) with graphics, for > each chapter, than that could be more then amazing.

I mean, Gobby looks to me like another Geany and I already have Geany. Anyway ... installing Gobby:). Where do files created in Gobby recide ... locally or online?

*Hey Zoltan* I saw that page by Sankarshan. That is too detailed for what I'm thinking about. Actually all that would have been a chapter or two at the end of the booklet. I was thinking of some quick DIYs like: *1. Installing Fedora* *2. Some cool Applications in Fedora* a. NetworkManager a. Lets Browse the Internet (Firefox) b. Watch movies with Totem. c. Moving around with nautilus d. Official Liberty with LibreOffice * 3. You want more Applications?* a. What are Repositories? b. Using PackageKit c. The Terminal is your Friend * 4. More Cool Stuff* a. Workspaces b. Wow! It sees my Cam c. I'm a GIMP Artist d. Chat and Mail *5. Enough Fun for one day (shutdown)* *6. Inside Fedora *condense Sankarshans outline here Something like that, but drafted like a quick *how-to* guide to get the end-users down to the business of exploring Fedora. It should have more of graphics .... then text explaining steps to achieve the illustrations on the Graphic images.
