Hello everybody,
I have been looking through the installation guide and tried to
read it from a "new user" perspective. [large snip]
I assume you refer to
www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/installmanual.en.html
{with substitution of appropriate distributions name}.
As a very new user I agree with the problems you listed.
I also recall the problems I ran into decades ago when
attempting to write documentation for not only the
non-expert, but for those whose expertise was gained by a
different route.
As I'm now retired, I would have time to read and comment
from a newbie's point of view.
[Caution - retirement sometimes causes free time to be
broken up strangely ;]
Before writing this, I went looking to see if the Debian
project had a formal structure for a newbie to contribute. I
went to:
http://www.debian.org/
http://www.debian.org/intro/help [1]
http://www.debian.org/devel/join
http://www.debian.org/doc/ddp
http://www.debian.org/doc/
http://www.debian.org/doc/cvs
The nearest I found to a reference to a formal structure was
"You can help writing documentation either by working with
the official documentation provided by the Debian
Documentation Project or by contributing at the Debian
Wiki." [1]
