Is there a link to something like a "writer's guide,"

I don't know if, or what, we can add to the document pages. Are we
limited to the programs loaded at Fedora's installation?
We have a style guide.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/StyleGuide
That said - it's just about impossible to know what programs are
loaded at installation for any given machine, so the answer is no.
I've been working on the Communications page of the User-Guide for F10,
https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=User:Kirk202/User_Guide_-_Com...
If someone has the time to look it over and let me know what I need to
change I'd greatly appreciate it. I'd like to start on another page
but would like to know whether or not I'm doing it correctly.
Yesterday I discovered I should have been keeping track of all of the
changes. The biggest changes I made were:
1. Added Claws Mail..should I delete it?
2. Putting the icons at the under the Heading at the
introductory statement without the statement that its the "default icon
for the program." I think I need to change some of the icons because
they are different in the F10 that I'm running vs. those in the F9 guide
that I used as place-holders.
Could be - feel free to do so if appropriate.
3. The TOC was under the introduction (F9) and I can't get it place
anywhere except the top, no matter where I try to put it in the body of
the page. Where's it supposed to be?
Don't worry about that - it will go away when you move to Docbook -
just concentrate on content.
That said you add non-Hx content prior to the Hx and it appears above the ToC.
Finally, the Communications page doesn't have an IRC program, ie,
X-Chat, or Chatzilla, maybe due to our guidelines?
That's probably an oversight. Since fp.o uses IRC as a main
communications channel we should definitely include IRC in my opinion.
I'd think x-chat for Gnome and konversation for KDE.
Thanks for starting your work with the Docs Project.
