Package: doc-debian Version: today's CVS Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Hi,
It'd be cool if some FAQ entry "What is this FAQ?" could be added to the Debian GNU/Linux FAQ. It should list stuff like: intended audience, purposes of the FAQ, assumed prior knowledge. Perhaps "Chapter 15 - General information about the FAQ" could be moved to Chapter 1 and merged with this general intro. Attached patch is a first shot at it. Thanks, Bye, Joost (who is very happy some work on the FAQ is being done again!)
