I was looking at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435599, and wondered about the last point in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=435599#c17.

Is there any documentation for this? I certainly have no idea what has changed, and wouldn't know where to look :(

If someone wants content added to Fedora documentation, what is the process? I checked in Bugzilla, but could not find any components suitable for this.

I think it's roughly:

1. Create account in Fedora: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts
2. Edit wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/

Not meant to be flip or sarcastic. :-) In all seriousness, any documentation we create like this seems like it will probably be on the wiki in the future, so anyone can simply write it. It would be great if that content was provided as part of a larger guide, but at a worst case, the content can be searched on the wiki and reused later in such a work.

What happens if someone wants to use Fedora, but they don't know how to do task [x], so they want task [x] documented. Is the docs project responsible for this, or should the person learn how to do this themselves?

If I ever figure out what they want from BZ #435599, I'll try to figure out how it works on Fedora...although it's always a pain trying to rewrite because of the "Copyright (c) 2008 Red Hat, Inc. All rights reserved." ;)

It would be good if this could be done for the Deployment Guide, and then copied straight onto the Fedora wiki...

Cheers,

Murray.
