we'd like to announce the 'Fit and Finish' initiative for Fedora,

with the goal to improve the user experience of the Fedora desktop. We want to identify the small (and sometimes large) roadblocks that make everyday computer use harder than it needs to be, and try to fix them.
In Ubuntu there's a "Help" button on the top menu bar that leads to a nice help application, yelp. We have that app too, but it doesn't seem to have the same contents, which are:
New to Ubuntu? Adding and Removing Software Files, Folders and Documents Customising Your Desktop Internet Music, Videos and Photos Assistive Tools Keeping Your Computer Safe Printing, Faxing and Scanning Advanced Topics
And under each section there's a clear explanation of what to do. Maybe we have something equivalent for Fedora, but I can't find it.
Perhaps this is something you could raise separately with the Fedora Docs team. I'm just getting back from some travel during which I caught wind of some new documentation standards being produced by the GNOME docs community to make documentation more task-based, with which I agree whole-heartedly. Also, our own Docs team is working on providing an easy way for people to retrieve and install language-specific documentation such as a user guide which would integrate into the desktop menu system. (I'm pretty sure that integration is desktop environment-neutral.) The confluence of those two developments might provide some better docs at the desktop level.
