Fedora documentation provides extensiv information how to install and use the Fedora operating system and the software packaged by the Fedora Project. Fedora is a large project. Therefore, the focus here is on basic explanation and references to detailed documentation of the various subprojects. A special focus is on making it easier for new users to get started.

Free Software has produced outstanding technical achievements and solutions over the past decades. Just one example is the Apache server, which is used today by the vast majority of websites and provides the entire Internet with information. This quickly overshadows a fact that Richard Stallman emphasized as early as 1997:
_"The biggest deficiency in free operating systems is not in the software — it is the lack of good free manuals that we can include in these systems.”footnote:[Free Software and Free Manuals, available from link:http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-doc.html[]]_
_"The biggest deficiency in free operating systems is not in the software — it is the lack of good free manuals that we can include in these systems.” footnote:[Free Software and Free Manuals, available from link:http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-doc.html[]]_
It is this spirit that inspires the Fedora documentation team to do the often tough and time-consuming work on our documentation.
You'll find here a bunch of information:

Before you open a new discussion or ask anyone for help on IRC, you should always do some research on your own. If you are encountering an issue, there is usually a good chance that someone else ran into the same problem before you and published a solution somewhere. Opening a discussion about something already explained elsewhere, or asking a common question which has been answered many times before, is not likely to result in a friendly, constructive response.

Fedora is a huge project. Some of us will remember when they first started getting involved in Fedora. It was not easy to get an overview and to find a way to contribute one's own interests and skills in the best possible way. Fortunately, we now have an initiative to pave the way for new participants und provide some guidance.
