Hi everyone,
my name is Vedran Miletić and I work as a teaching and research assistant at Department of informatics, University in Rijeka, Croatia. I teach lab exercises in Operating systems and auditory exercises in Computer networks, and in Operating systems we learn how to work in Linux environment.
A the moment, we use "Mandrake Command Line Reference" dating back in October 2004. Certainly, lots of things remained the same, but some have changed.
In order to make a new textbook for our students and new Fedora users interested in command line in general, I applied to this group.
I see there is already a draft of Command Line Survival Guide at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/CommandLineSurvivalGuide and it covers pretty much what I want. I tried contacting James McElhannon who was working on it, but the domain of his mail adress is dead.
That being said, I would like to take the work on this and continue where he left it, if someone is willing to point me how to do it. Hope we can create something great and useful (and ready in time for Fedora 13 release!).
Regards,

Hi Vedran and welcome!
This would be a fantastic resource to add to our collection of documents -- thanks for volunteering to develop it further.
Generally, we author our docs in DocBook XML, and host the source files on fedorahosted. We then use a DocBook publishing tool called Publican to build HTML and PDF versions of the documents for publication on the docs.fedoraproject.org site.
Most of the docs team are busy for the next day or two publishing the Fedora 12 documents, but if you can be patient with us, we'll be happy to help you set up a new project for your book. You'll find us on IRC in #fedora-docs on freenode -- this is probably the easiest way to keep in touch and get help. Don't worry if you haven't worked with XML before -- there are plenty of us who will help ease you into it once the current crisis is over :)
Until we get your new project set up, you can make a start by expanding the existing wiki page that you have already found. Please feel free to jump straight in and start editing. This content can then be moved to XML fairly easily later.
Welcome once again
Cheers
Ruediger

Welcome Vedran. I saw your questions on IRC this morning but only hours after you had posted them.

I can imagine things change quite quickly. Having access to the source would help keep subjects up to date.
I wonder how much information in the User Guide we could break out and use for a guide that would help you.

I just looked at this history of that wiki page and it appears no one has touched it this year.

Works for me! It might be best to move it into DocBook XML format for publication. Are you familiar with DocBook? I can get a repo setup on Fedora Hosted and you can keep the source there.

Interesting. Is there a higher quality version of this?
Soon to be released, it is initial material
