Self-Introduction, Wu Yu
by 吴愚
Hi all,
Very pleased to join the fedora-docs-list!
I am a undergraduate student of Tongji University, Shanghai, China,
majored in Computer Science.
I got good marks with my studies and was recommended to have graduate
course without tests.
I've been using Fedora Core from 1 to 6 since 2005 and I had a great
experience. It widen my eyes with its beautiful user desktop and lots of
open source software which I could modify them the way I wish! I consider
it as a high efficiency operating system in which I could customize
everything I like.
One of the most important experience I have was that I won the third
prize of National Intel Cup Embedded Competetion with the development
environment of Fedora Core 4. Qt, Kdevelopment, Gaim....These tools really
gave me excited experience. And most important of all, I enjoyed myself very
much!
Now I'm not satified with that I'm only a user. I want to be involved as
one of the fedora core developers, too. First, I need to know more about
Fedora Core, so I decide to work on the documentations first. And I'm ready
to dodge myself in it!
I hope you could accept me and help me at my startup. Thanks very much!

Hi,
Have you get the following things done:
* acquire an account for fedora account system
* register a wiki account (if so, what is your account?)
* join fedora-docs-list and fedora-trans-list
* post a "SelfIntroduction" to the fedora-docs-list
* request for proper cvs group priviledges (cvsl10n, cvsdocs)
Thanks!

Self-Introduction: Jonathan Roberts
by Jonathan Roberts
Hi!
My name is Jonathan Roberts and I've been following the list for a
while and thinking about contributing but not really sure about the
best place to start - I figured I can't go wrong with a
self-introduction :D
Things you may want to know about me:
I live in the UK and I'm currently taking a gap year before heading
off to university to study Theology, rather bizarely after changing my
mind about studying Physics and Philosophy last year! To help me pass
the time I've worked on a few projects: the Questions Please...
podcast (http://questionsplease.org) where I've interviewed a range of
very exciting people including Richard Stallman, Jeremy Allison, Jeff
Waugh and Mark Shuttleworth - though struggling to get a hold of
someone from the Fedora Project; I've also almost finished producing
the "Free Me" DVD - an attempt to promote free culture in general
(http://questionsplease.org/freeme/) which I'm quite excited about.
As for my qualifications as a writer/editor: I studied English at
higher level on the International Bacallaureate and scored a 5 (hugely
disappointed not to have got a 6); I've been doing a bit of writing
for Free Software Magazine
(http://www.freesoftwaremagazine.com/blog/31677) and also a bit of
editing when they've been short on time.
I don't really have an idea of specific documents I would like to
(help) write at the minute, I'll be sure to give this some thought
over the next few days, but I do know that I would like to contribute
back something to Fedora and I have the time and the inclination to,
hopefully, make a reasonable contribution to the documentation
project; if there's ever any editing that needs doing I'm happy to
look over things like that as well.
Well, that is possibly the longest self introduction you're ever
likely to see?! Oh, and my GPG Key ID etc:
B923BC72
1735 EF16 3EF2 EF9D A2DD 02B0 A791 8B23 B923 BC72
I prefer, however, to use webmail because I often access my e-mail
from a number of different systems and it's easier for me to stay
organised this way. I hope this is OK.
Yours kindly,
Jonathan Roberts

Self-Introduction: Peter Sulyok
by Sulyok Peti
Dear Fedora Members,
My name is Péter Sulyok.
I am from Budapest, Hungary. (+0100)
I work on software development for a multinational mobile corp.
I would like to take part in translation of docs/websites/packages, and
start the Hungarian Welcome page in the wiki.
I have been hanging around Fedora Project since the beginning. I have
translated several packages for Fedora and other projects. I tried to
write documentation (Firewall Tutorial), develop config tool (GUI for
iptables) for Fedora. I have graduated in computer sciences, but I have
got my computer skills mainly from the free softwares in the Internet. I
work with Java, Oracle PL/SQL, and shell scripts now. I am also familiar
with Python, C, C++, PHP, GTK+, QT, autoconf/automake, cvs, subversion,
PostgreSQL, and system administration. Some of my products are available
here: http://sp.web.elte.hu/index.html.en

Fedora 7 DUG
by Karsten Wade
We need someone to step forward as a lead writer for the DUG. Is that
John? You certainly did the bulk of that work in the last months before
release.
For Fedora 7, we can address some of the issues that we've known about,
and which have come up in recent discussions:
* Adding KDE
* Continue focusing around tasks (what you can do, how to do it)
* Push concept material (what is) to other documents
For KDE, we'll need someone who knows KDE to write matching sections
with the equivalent software. Anyone here interested? Or do we need to
recruit someone?
Bart has wrote down the process he used for converting the Wiki to XML.
While I'm tempted to keep it in XML and edit that directly, I wonder if
we'll still get more and better content if we use the Wiki and convert
in a few weeks.
- Karsten

Common snippets
by Paul W. Frields
So today's realization of using xml:base triggered thoughts of a proper
strategy for dealing with snippets. "Snippets" are what we've usually
called the small pieces of XML that would be common across many
documents, such as:
* instructions for using CVS
* legal notice in a variety of element structures
* special notices such as how to report bugs
A snippet might look like this:
<tip>
<title>Reporting Bugs</title>
<para>Use Bugzilla and be forever in our hearts!</para>
</tip>
I am working on changing all common snippets into gettext form -- that
is, using one basic XML (the en_US canonical version) and POT/PO to
translate it. This is the same way we treat all other documents and the
common entities.
PROBLEM:
---------
The location of a snippet is a URI that appears in a @href attribute in
an <xi:include/> element. That means it can't be translated. But the
@href must point to the proper locale version of a file, say,
"legalnotice-en_US.xml" versus "legalnotice-pt_BR.xml". How do we
ensure the @href points to the right place, in a sane, XML-compliant
way?
HYPOTHETICAL SOLUTION:
-----------------------
1. Use a new ${XMLSNIPPETS} variable in the document-specific Makefile,
which is defined as one or more names of XML snippet files, separated by
proper whitespace:
XMLSNIPPETS = cvs.xml \
bug-reporting.xml \
legalnotice.xml
2. ${XMLSNIPPETS} file contents are not included in the POT for the
specific document -- rather, they are translated in their common
location, which only needs to be done once, and again whenever those
actual snippets change content.
3. ${XMLSNIPPETS} files are included in the ${XMLDEPFILES} list of
dependencies for the validation of the entire XML document.
4. ${XMLSNIPPETS} related targets are added to the Makefile.common to
treat these files in a special way -- changing context to the
${FDPCOMMONDIR}/common folder and making any required targets for the
indicated locale, then copying those target files (if updated) back to
the document-specific locale folder. (In other words, these targets are
created in much the same way as project-wide common entities files.)
5. A document author who wants to use a snippet inserts the appropriate
XInclude in the document, and updates ${XMLSNIPPETS} in the
document-specific Makefile. For an example file "snippet.xml", the
XInclude looks like this and works throughout all locales:
<xi:include xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
href="snippet.xml" />
