This is actually a good feedback. The landing page should explain the main concepts and the documentation should give more detail... but maybe the landing page is very high-level and the docs too detailed? And there is nothing in between? I talked to someone about a different way to write stuff - starting with a summary at the top and giving more and more details as you follow reading. But you could theoretically stop reading at almost any point and it should still make sense. Maybe I could give it a shot and rewrite some of the pages - or at least give a higher-level, yet still specific and technical, summary. Hmm.. let me think about it. Suggestions? Anything I should prioritize? > > > Tom > > -- > Tom Hughes (t...@compton.nu) > http://compton.nu/ > > _______________________________________________ > devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org > To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org > -- Adam Šamalík --------------------------- Software Engineer Red Hat
