Because of increasing community interest in the style guidelines of SUSE documentation and program texts, these style guides are now released as an openSUSE project hosted by Novell Forge. These guides should apply to both internal and external openSUSE projects, so your participation can influence the future of texts in YaST and the official manuals, among other things. The guides are licensed under the GFDL to allow other projects to take advantage them.
The project pages at http://developer.novell.com/wiki/index.php/Opensuse-style give more information about the project and provide HTML and PDF copies of the current guides. The appearance of the guides themselves is still a work in progress. There are some minor bugs in the build mechanics and fixes are needed to make the layout more friendly to the reader. Feedback about the project and the guides is welcome on [EMAIL PROTECTED] That mailing list will also host discussion of any future style concerns. Sincerely, Rebecca Walter
