Wiki is now upgraded!
by Mike McGrath
The wiki is now upgraded! There's bound to be minor odds and ends to
fix up over the coming days, I ask that if anyone finds something broken
they email me and I'll start fixing issues one by one.

Announcing Desktop User Guide
by John Babich
Fedora Core 6 Desktop User Guide
==========================
The Fedora Project presents:
The Fedora Desktop User Guide for Fedora Core 6
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/DesktopUserGuide
The Desktop User Guide is here to help you accomplish specific tasks
with the desktop applications. It is written for individuals who are
unfamiliar with the default Fedora Desktop and who may be running
their first Linux desktop.
The guide's approach is simple. It explains basic principles by
covering one principle at a time. The document does not assume
familiarity with any Linux/UNIX-specific terminology or concepts.
Functionality is also compared, where appropriate, to what
the reader may know from other OSes, particularly Microsoft
Windows.
Users of this guide should have a standard Desktop class installation
of Fedora, including a user account with the default settings. The
reader does not need access to the root password.

wiki upgrade
by Mike McGrath
I'll be doing a wiki upgrade from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. (CST) on
February 21st (Wed). I'll be trying to minimize downtime and, in
theory, the wiki won't be unavailable, just un-writeable. During
our tests it has been determined that there are very few changes that
need to be made so we'll just fix things as they come up.

Changes to fedora-advisory-board list
by Max Spevack
When the Fedora Advisory Board mailing list was first set up, it was put
together in this way:
1) Archives 100% open to all
2) Non member posting is moderated
3) Member posting is non-moderated
4) Membership is by "approval".
5) People who want to lurk by not post could subscribe to
fedora-advisory-board-readonly
I've heard from a few people that this has been a source of confusion, and
that people who otherwise want to participate on fedora-advisory-board
aren't doing so, because they don't realize that we *want* them to
participate.
So, I've made some changes to the fedora-advisory-board list, effective
this morning.
Membership is now "confirm via email" rather than "moderater approved" so
basically list subscription is now the same as all other Fedora lists.
Still, fedora-advisory-board is the place where we like to have some of
the higher-level decision making begin, but with the assumption that it
will be pushed off to other lists as appropriate.
This decision also has the potential to lead to increased traffic on the
list. Let's keep the traffic on-topic and high in signal, versus noise.
The list's job will be to police its own.
*** NOTE ***
I will kill off the fedora-advisory-board-readonly list on March 1. Folks
who are on that list (and therefore reading this message) are encouraged
to subscribe directly to fedora-advisory-board.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Max

Fedora 7 Test 1 Release Notes
by Paul W. Frields
Fedora 7 Test 1 Release Notes
==============================
An abridged, "one-sheet" version of the Release Notes for Fedora 7 test1
(6.90) is now available at the following URL:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/F7Test1/ReleaseNotes
For test1 and test2 releases, the Fedora Documentation Project does not
release complete sets of release notes. A full set of release notes is
released with test3, including a robust set of localizations provided by
volunteer translators. This schedule allows us to make efficient use of
volunteer resources for writing, editing, and translating content.
The release notes process requires participation from documenters,
developers, and other interested community members throughout the test
release cycles. To find out more about how you can help, refer to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/ReleaseNotes/Process.
Fedora is a set of projects sponsored by Red Hat and guided by the
contributors. These projects are developed by a large community of
people who strive to provide and maintain the very best in free, open
source software and standards. The central Fedora project is an
operating system and platform based on Linux that is always free for
anyone to use, modify, and distribute, now and forever.
