I was reviewing some feedback I got back from a few friends and

together some sort of a "quick" introductory "manual" to Fedora and
its key features. I'm not trying to imitate what's already been done
and users can find on the Internet, but rather go a bit more in depth
with stuff such as very basic introductions to the several programs
that conform a default desktop installation (hence the use of LiveCDs
both GNOME and KDE) for users to get acquainted with the OS, and more
importantly, the applications they'll find. The final objective is to
spend less time talking about "the system" and spend the bulk of the
reader's time talking about the applications.
Have you seen the work on the Fedora Desktop User Guide? It seems to
cover what you are suggesting, in the way you describe:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/DesktopUserGuide
The content is very close to being done so that we can do a beta release
in March. This gets the document ready for final editing, translation,
and release with Fedora 9.
Beta reviews welcome. :)
