In recent meetings, FDSCo decided it would be a good idea for all of us to focus on completing one guide at a time. Right now we are running in parallel and making slower progress.
What do you think of this idea?
How does this order sound?
1. SMG (split) => UG, AG 2. UG 3. SpinG 4. AG 5. DevelG 6. RPM Guide
I think the first task is going to be fairly easily accomplished, and it supports the second. We've all agreed that the spin work is important, but it is targeted at a much smaller audience than the User Guide.
My thinking for putting the spin work in front of the Admin Guide is that i) the spin work is easier (shorter, more material existing), and ii) the AG is going to be a bit harder to do. :)

Looks good to me :D

Pirut and Pup tutorials have already been moved to the UG, does anything else need moving to the UG? I'll move across what I guess is appropriate to the AG now, unless others have objections?
- UG
Could do with the task list updating for this so we have know what we're doing when we get started? Lol, well I guess somebody knows what still needs doing, but I'm a little lost.
- SpinG
I've done some updates to this today: talked to kanarip and he gave me a load of use cases he would like to see documented, which I threw onto a wiki page. I've written one and will progress on the others as we go.
- AG
- DevelG
- RPM Guide

Yeah, definately :D

Haha yes I like this thinking. Hope my comments were helpful/relevant.

Solid, thanks. Looks good so far. Is there any 'orphaned' content?

Mr. Babich has a fair number of ideas. There may in fact be a to-do list in the Docs/Drafts/UserGuide ... or a bunch of stubbed-out pages with to-do information in them. Those could be turned into some tasks ...

OK. I don't mind any of these being worked in parallel, within the frame of the "one at a time" idea. That's how stuff works, it needs little shifts forward. The idea is to keep going back to the "current task document" and pushing on it toward completion.

Thanks, Jonathan, for the updated material. I am reviewing it and will do some wordsmithing on it.

Mr. Babich wishes to inform Mr. Wade that he does indeed have ideas which he shall implement in the near future. Mr. Roberts and others are most welcome to continue their laudatory efforts.
(Translation: Thanks, quaid, I do. Kudos once again to JonRob.)
I'm working on getting more reliable internet access from home. It's been very frustrating lately with my current ISP. I should have a decent, if slow, DSL connection in 6-8 weeks. Meanwhile, I'll keep on keeping on.

One thing that saves me ... I can load a bunch of wiki pages in a browser, edit them, then use It's All Text[1] to put them all in an editor (Emacs) for later. Then I have something to work on when offline. :)
