Forrest Taylor <address@hidden> described the package as follows:
License: fdl
Other License: 
Package: Anaconda Documentation Project
System name: anacondadocs
Type: non-GNU

Description:
This project will provide accurate and comprehensive documentation for 
anaconda.  Anaconda is the installer for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 
(http://www.redhat.com) and Fedora Core 
(http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/anaconda-installer/).  The source for the 
latest release of anaconda can be found here:

http://ftp.freshrpms.net/pub/fedora/linux/core/1/SRPMS/anaconda-9.2-2.src.rpm



We are a handful of people who desire to further document anaconda and all of 
it's intricasies.  This discussion started on the address@hidden list 
(https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list), and has moved to 
the new Fedora Docs list 
(https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list).  We need a place to 
collaborate on our documentation, and have some sort of repository for 
making/seeing changes.  The rough draft of the Table of Contents can be found 
here:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2003-November/msg00113.html



No documentation for anaconda has been made by Red Hat, so we would like to 
create this documentation with the desire that Red Hat will include it in their 
products.  This will allow further development and distribution of the Red Hat 
installer.



Other Software Required:
The Fedora Documentation project requires that the documentation be in DocBook 
XML Article format, and thus requires:



* xmlto — for producing HTML and PDF outputs

* docbook-style-xsl — for the default XSLT stylesheets we build on

* docbook-dtds — XML versions of the DocBook DTD



It also requires templates from their CVS server:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/CVS

cvs -z3 login

cvs -z3 co fedora-docs



They encourage the use of Emacs and either PSGML mode or the easier nXML mode 
(ftp://people.redhat.com/twaugh/docbook/nxml-mode).
