Self Introduction
by Fenton
I have not worked on any other project in the OS community, but I want to
contribute back to the community.
I have limited programming skills, but I am a networking major attending a
community college. I do love to program though I am not as skilled with it.
My English Comp. Teacher as well as others have told me that I have
excellent writing skills, and I thought that I could start giving back to
the community by helping with documentation.
Eventually, I would love to work more with game programming,
troubleshooting, and network security.

stale 'docs' group requests
by Karsten Wade
If you have requested access to the 'docs' group, it means you want to
be part of this project. Great!
The first important thing to do is to introduce yourself to this
list[1].
Anyone who has requested 'docs' but not self-introduced within two
weeks of requesting is going to get denied sponsorship for the group.
No worries if you got busy and forgot. Just send a self-intro and
request 'docs' sponsorship again. :)

But the real question is ...
What value is a stand-alone guide compared to keeping an organized set
of how-to pages on the wiki?
As it stands, we have content split between the two locations.
On the wiki has the advantage of drawing from 10x to 25x the
collaborators as XML does.

what does content look like on docs.fp.o
by Murray McAllister
Hi,
I saw this in #fedora-docs:
"Wiki => XML in git => HTML => PHP-wrapped-HTML => CVS => HTML => docs.fp.o"
Is it possible to build content with publican and then host on docs.fp.o?
Will it look the same as if I built it locally?
Cheers.

Self-introduction

Hello all!
My name is Justin Mitchell and I'm interested in helping with the
Fedora Docs project. I made the permanent switch back to Fedora and
open source software at the begin of this year after having Vista eat
my computer and using a variety of open source tools to recover data
and do my job that closed source tools couldn't do. By day I'm a
security engineer, using Fedora in a Windows environment and just had
to have tools that are reliable. I admit I still use XP running in
VMware, but that is more for Visio than anything else.
This is the first time I have ever joined an open source project in
any way at all. Usually, I'd just download my software, use it and not
give back. I figure it's time to change things and start contributing
to a product I love and recommend to others.
Justin
What other projects or writing have you worked on in the past?
This is my first project I have contributed to officially. I have
created documentation for end-users at my job as a systems
administrator.
What level and type of computer skills do you have?
I'm pretty much a power user (or at least like to think of myself as
one). I run fedora 9 as my primary desktop and use it to manage a
Windows-based server enivronment and Cisco equipment. I have my MCSA
Messenging 2003 and my CCSP. I love new challenges and sharing my
knowledge with others.
What other skills do you have that might be applicable? User interface
design, other so-called soft skills (people skills), programming, etc.
I have a lot of experience supporting end-users and explaining things
in a way that makes it easy for non-technical people to understand.
I've studied graphic design, and have experience with most professional tools.
What makes you an excellent match for the project?
At this point I have been using open source software on and off since
Red Hat 5 and am eager to start giving back to the community that has
created such a wonderful product and help others just starting out
with it.

Status of release notes zero-day update
by Karsten Wade
Tonight Paul closed out all the bugs that have been opened against the
release notes for Fedora 10.
We are almost ready to output a new POT file. The changes and
additions are not many. These updated notes and translations are
published on docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes for the day of the
Fedora 10 release.
There is one bug still open, waiting for confirmation of the technical
writing. Once we receive that confirmation and/or any fixes, then
close the bug report, we'll build a new POT file and submit it. That
should happen within, but no more than, the next 24 hours.
Paul or I will send further status when there is anything to update.

Keyboard Mapping: VMware Workstation 6.5 on F10
by Adam D. Ligas
Hey folks!
I found another one on the Fedora Test list. Same deal - kicking it
over here because it seems like a better place to have this conversation
and make a decision.
