Hey guys,
I was just thinking about how a lot of people say that Linux is so hard. Yeah, it's harder than MacOS...we're trying to change that.
So I was thinking about how we have these tutorials which we're starting to think about for GNOME 2.0. I realize that these are GNOME apps which we're supporting, and by doing more, that's going to take much more manpower(woman power for Telsa and other females on the list ;). I propose that we take the time to create some of those same tutorials for some tasks in Linux. For example, setting up PPP/DSL/Cable. That would include steps on how to configure your model/ethernet card, setting up DNS information, etc. I know this is going to take a lot more work in the end, but I feel that it will bridge a large gap.
Yes, I even thought about documentation fragmentation (ooo...that's kinda fun to say...try saying it). I think if we can make this in a format which KDE can use their own front-end, and the same information as the backend as we do, that will keep there from being 2 copies of the same information.
I realize that the LDP exists...and I do respect and enjoy reading the LDP. We're not here to replace them. We serve to two different groups here. We're trying to make grandma be able to setup her information. The LDP serves more towards us, the geek. Grandma doesn't know about the root DNS servers...nor should she (why would she for setting up internet? I don't know...but you get my point).
What does everyone think?
Kevin
