SUSE Style Guides Open to the Community

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
opensuse-doc@opensuse.org.  That mailing list will also host discussion of any 
future style concerns.

Sincerely,
Rebecca Walter
