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:
<snip>
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! :-)
Ambitious, but a good idea. We can do the writing either on the wiki or in piratepads (but piratepad has been acting up lately, I really really hope someone feels like setting up an Etherpad for openSUSE). If you want, take this on. As in, be the project manager ;-) So create the wiki's, try and put in some preliminary info and get ppl to write...
Cheers,
