by Dimitris Glezos
The `make` in docs-common/images/ produces an error:
$ make watermark-el.png
rsvg -d72 -p72 -h768 -w1024 -q100 watermark-el.svg watermark-el.png
The --quality option is no longer supported
The following change is needed:
-RSVGOPTS=-d72 -p72 -h768 -w1024 -q100
+RSVGOPTS=-d72 -p72 -h768 -w1024
Should I commit it?

what is ready to publish right now?
by Karsten Wade
Please use this wiki page to let us know what you have completed
recently that needs to be published.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/PublishQueue
I know there are a few translations of the trans-quick-start-guide that
are in CVS. Spanish and French, right? I entered those to start.
Is there anything else?
We used to use Bugzilla for this, but we are abandoning old process in
favor of using the Zope/Plone CMS. Which is not quick ready for us to
use yet. There are multiple automation ideas being explored. Watch
this list and fedora-websites-list for discussions.
In the meantime, we need to quickly populate a queue and do this the
manual way. Thanks!
- Karsten

Difference of the two common entities files?
by Dimitris Glezos
Hi.
What's the difference between the following two files?
* docs-common/common/entities/entities-en_US.ent
* docs-common/common/fedora-entities-en_US.ent
I created the first one with the normal `make` procedure inside the
entities directory, but I can't seem to find how to create the second
one, which it seems that is needed by the translation-quick-start-guide.
What's the need of both these files?

Greek (el) translation of Docs
by Dimitris Glezos
Hi all.
I just started translating the common entities for the greek language.
ISO codes: el, el_GR (Greece) and el_CY (Cyprus).
(Note: the two countries have the same terminology and translations, so
using just "el" is better.)
If there is no problem, I'll start commiting stuff. :)
