Release notes for F9
by Paul W. Frields
* For Fedora 9, the release notes and its derivative documents such as
the release summary, press release, et al. should take care not to
trumpet version number changes in the absence of other details that talk
about improvements visible to "normal users." One of the most popular
Linux podcasts brought this up during their segment on Fedora 8. Saying
things like "Fedora 9 has FooBar 1.8" is not as meaningful as making
brief reference to the many wonderful improvements in FooBar 1.8 since
whatever FooBar was in Fedora 8.
* For F9 the Release Summary should be drawn directly from the OverView
beat to the greatest extent possible. The OverView beat should feature
content that is the most meaningful to end users, developers, and
community members using the Fedora platform. If this means the Release
Summary is a verbatim copy of that beat, there is no harm in that. In
fact, this offers a severalfold increase in effectiveness and
efficiency, since (1) the OverView beat is the first chunk of meaningful
release-related content people see in the Release Notes proper; (2) the
OverView beat goes through a translation process, meaning the
ambassadors and other content consumers can use a localized version for
publicizing new Fedora features; and (3) this prevents duplicative
effort in content collation, editing, and publication.
* For F9, it is highly unlikely that I will participate in the release
notes process to the extent I did the past two or three releases. We
have a number of contributors stepping up to help, and it is high time
that I made sure not to silo this work. I have already been working
with Jason Taylor to get him up to speed on the process, and hopefully
we can all encourage others to help as well. The Release Notes, as an
entity, is one of the crowning jewels of the Docs Project, especially
since Karsten overhauled our process to really make these a great
example of community content creation. We should make sure that their
direction is "onward and upward," and that we make it as easy as
possible for people to contribute to them, adapt them as needed, and
continue to make them the source for release-related information.

system-config-firewall and wording
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
I have seen a couple of reviews about Fedora 8's system-config-firewall
having incorrect grammar, punctuation or ambiguous wording. I would
appreciate if someone could review it and file bug reports with better
wording. Thanks.

Administration Guide - general maintenance
by Vladimir Kosovac
All, I was going to do a bit of mop-up on AdminGuide pages, fix broken
links, stuff like that. Before I go and change a bunch of this stuff,
one question:
Are the links to particular modules on this page:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/AdministrationGuide/Contributors
supposed to point to draft docs or something else, that will eventually
become available in the wiki root / published docs section? Content of
that table needs better alignment with the intro page / actual written
draft content, so I'll do that too. Then, all the contributors can use
the table again to self-assign tasks they wish to pick.
That OK?
Cheers, Vladimir

what writing tools do you use?
by Murray McAllister
Hi Everyone,
I am writing on behalf of my fellow content authors at Red Hat Asia
Pacific. We are curious to know what tools everyone is using for
writing, including editors, research tools, diagram tools, graphic
tools, and so on. This is sort of a survey, and we are always keen to
try out new tools/ways of doing things if they will improve on what we
currently use.
Any help is greatly appreciated, and please don't hesitate to send
off-list responses to murray.mcallister(a)gmail.com
Thanks for the help everyone.
I am currently using Kate, but a friend is quickly converting me to jEdit :)
Kind Regards,
Murray.

[was what writing tools do you use]
by Murray McAllister
Hi,
Just following up on the survey. I noticed a few people using
OpenOffice - is this because there are some magical XML tools for it?
Just curious, as I've never used Open Office, or considered it, for
Docbook.
Thanks for the help.
Cheers,
Murray.
