URGENT: Action Needed to help save MySQL
If you'd like the book to ship with Fedora Core at some point, then that might determine the choice of licence (FDL, I think that there is some technical issue with CCL that bothers Debian and Fedora people).
Chapter 22 could be "Contributing to Fedora" and start by talking about testing and bug reporting, which overlap with development (use of Bugzilla, mailing lists, IRC). Linux development requires a high level of skill, but the other tasks are open to a broader range of people.
Perhaps the tricky part of the project is deciding the level of technical expertise your target audience has. Topics like Samba and mail servers require a bit of technical knowledge even to do the common tasks, and can get as complex as you like.
As Colin knows, the Fedora Documentation Project (FDP) is running a difficult race, and we got ourselves out of the gate very late. Hopefully by the time this chapter gets written, there is more to say about writing documentation for Fedora. :)
