Good stuff, specially if it is at the level of the previous which came with SuSE Linux (I have from 6.0 to 7.1). Though I've really never used them, they used to pack powerful information for anyone moving in to SuSE Linux back then.
I look forward to see a community driver 'cook book' for openSUSE.

Hello there,
I was thinking that having an openSUSE Handbook (or handbuch ;) in pdf format ready to be downloaded, printed and even ready to be sent to a publishing company is a good idea.
So, here's my proposal:
First, we would have to make a list of topics to be included and organise them in chapters, like the following draft:
****************************** The openSUSE Handbook ****************************** Introduction - What's the openSUSE project? - What's openSUSE?
Installing openSUSE - Different types of install methods - AutoYaST
Installing applications - Using 1-click - Using YaST - Using zypper
Desktop environments - An introduction to DEs (KDE, GNOME, XFCE, LXDE). - Enabling proprietary drivers (ATI, NVIDIA) - Multimedia - Printing - Games
System administration - Introduction to the command line - Networking - Security - Storage - Virtualization - Keeping openSUSE up-to-date - Upgrading openSUSE
Servers - Apache and lighttpd - MySQL and PostgreSQL - Postfix - BIND - Samba - CUPS etc
Other openSUSE Technologies - Build Service - SUSE Studio - KIWI
Second, we would have to write about those topics not included in the wiki and review those already written. That way we would have more relevant bits in both the wiki and handbook. Each topic doesn't have to be 100 page long ;-)
And last but not least we would have to put all the pieces together and make it available in pdf.
Drawbacks: We would need to update some of its contents for each openSUSE release. It needs more than two people to make it happen ;-)
On the other hand, I think that the handbook would make openSUSE more "visible" and a bit more "ready to use."
Comments and suggestions are welcome! :-)
