what next?
by Karsten Wade 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

We now have a small handful of regular documents to keep updated for each release: release notes; Installation Guide; Desktop User Guide. We also have other documents that get occasional updates, when needed or prodded. Looking here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts http://fedora.redhat.com/docs http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs What is missing? * Do we need to divide into more help for new-to-Fedora users? * Should we put more energy into focusing on systems administrators who are new to Fedora and/or Linux? * How about updating our own Documentation Guide? * There are other guides such as the Packaging Guide and the Developers Guide that could use updating or editing; do we want to adopt these and begin a highly technical interaction with Fedora developers? We have a nice influx of new writers, and I'm curious where we all think we should go next. Let's discuss. :) - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

PGP key, changing
by Shayin C K 09 Nov '06

09 Nov '06

Hello everyone, I just happened to change my PGP key ID. I searched the guides. Though the procedure to get a key is described in some detail, there is no description of what to do after changing the key. I have the following doubts: 1. Do I give a second self introduction giving my new GPG key and ID? 2. Do I have to sign Contributor License Agreement(CLA) a second time with the new ID? My new PGP Key ID :0xE5D1883F My new PGP key fingerprint: F8D0 63AC E6B7 D245 DB11 361E 4853 C26F E5D1 883F Regards Shayin C K

FDSCo meeting task status update 07-Nov-2006
by Karsten Wade 08 Nov '06

08 Nov '06

We didn't really have anyone for a meeting today, so I just wrote up notes there and finished them all here. Thus, some quick status reports on various things: * FDSCo election discussion postponed until next week at earliest - Need someone from FESCo to explain their election system and tools - abadger99? * Trans/Docs work - no update * Moin Moin update status - engaged with Moin devel team about upgrading and getting SoC code in trunk - waiting on mvirkkil's response (iirc) - we have stuff to do from Thomas Waldmann * Plone - FDSCo wonders if we can upgrade to use Fedora Core for infrastructure and thus gain all the modern packages we need? * Fedora DUG - Releasing this week (Karsten) * Packaging - no update * Project compliance - New task added - Making sure FDP is aligned with the requirements of being a formal Fedora project -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

Navigation links for DUG Draft pages
by John Babich 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Paul / Karsten: Now that we are directing people to the Desktop User Guide in the FC6 default home page in Firefox, I suggest that we add navigation links (such as top, previous, next) to make it easier to get around the DUG in the wiki. I can appreciate not using these controls when the goal was to produce valid Docbook code. Since the emphasis is now on leaving the DUG in wiki format, I suggest we make the wiki viewing experience as pleasant as possible. This is especially important for the new users who are our target audience. We can always strip these out if and when we want to generate documents in other formats. Is there already an approach in practice for this facility?

Release notes for the next release
by Rahul Sundaram 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

Hi Can I start doing changes directly to the wiki for the next text release or are we planning to do any release note updates for FC6? The only major change that I wanted to get to the wider community is the list of common bugs and I did a separate announcement for that. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-announce-list/2006-October/msg00015.… Is there anything else that requires a package update or can I proceed with the changes for the next release? Rahul

Browser splash module
by Paul W. Frields 06 Nov '06

06 Nov '06

For FC7 we should try to get the splash page moved to its own module. This makes life much easier for smaller translation groups (see recent threads on f-trans-l). I think someone else brought up this idea earlier but there was no time to get into FC6 given the various freeze schedules. Anyone see a big problem with doing it for FC7? I will follow up on this with the release engineers if not. -- Paul W.
