In my case, though, combining a high IQ and being a complete helpless newbie to Linux, is a powerful combination that produces questions out of nowhere. In the chapter about installing and un-installing, one small detail got left out: "How does one KNOW whether wine is installed, and if so what version it is?" I'm sure it must sound like typical newbie crap questions to you, but to me it's a solid and tangible one. Well, I do know that I do have wine installed, because when I installed Fedora Core 2, I said "install everything". Besides, I tried.. "wine /mnt/C/windows/notepad.exe" and it worked!!!! *snip*
You're definately right; some of the documentation needs to be updated, improved, or more generally geared towards complete newbies. In all fairness, a little over a year ago, I was a complete Linux newbie, and Wine was the first application I ever installed (compiled from source) and ran on Linux. :) Of course, it took some reading of the documentation, and some educated guessing, but it was possible.
In any case, I don't know who currently maintains the documentation, but you sound like you have some great ideas to contribute to it. I encourage you to get involved. :)
