Hi, Going over the wiki some more I noticed that the GettingHelp and Documentation page contain the same type of information and could be merged (and reduced) as well. On the FrontPage it is called "Learn" (which I like) and points to the Documentation page. On top it says "Help" and points to the GettingHelp page. I would prefer to keep the Documentation page (or rename it to Learn or Help, I don't mind) and point the Help tab to the same page. And Redirecting from the original GettingHelp page to this new page. Can I do this ? (The information on top of the GettingHelp page contains instructions that I do not understand) -- -- dag wieers, dag at wieers.com, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

Can you change the Help tab to point to Documentation ? (Keeping the Help name seems very useful) The Documentation page could use some more cleanup work though. Should we actively look for wiki pages still referencing GettingHelp and HowToContribute and relink them to Documentation and Contribute pages ? If so, how can we do that ? -- -- dag wieers, dag at centos.org, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]

At the moment with the Getting Help page gone, it looks a bit silly to have it redirect to the Docs page - There are other ways of getting help rather than Documentation. I would like to re-instate the GettingHelp page, its also what we point people at when we refer personal emails etc to the community for specific issue support. Also, I'd like to deprecate wiki urls on the Docs page to lower down the order - the first port of call on the Docs page should be the manuals and guides already published on the website and included in the distro. If noone has any objections to this, I'd like to make the change later today -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq

And I am also guessing that quite a wide angle of imagination was used to work out IRC and Forums as part of the project Documentation. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : 2522219 at icq
