Security guide chapt 5
by Keith Henkell
Eric,
I am editing chapter 5 of the security guide on the train (I forgot to
mention it when I copied it this morning.). I should have it back in
before 10 us eastern time.
Is there anything else in the Security guide that needs work?

accidentally updated pot and po for documentation-guide
by Murray McAllister
Hi,
I accidentally ran "make pot po", then committed the changes for the
documentation-guide. I misunderstood something, as this should have
been done for the translation-quick-start-guide.
Sorry for any problems this caused :(
Regards,
Murray.

zero-day release notes updates to docs.fp.o
by Murray McAllister
Hi,
For the 12th of May, what does "Add zero-day release-notes update to
docs.fp.o" mean?
Also, the following content was added to Beats/WebServers:
---
Squid
Squid has been updated from 2.6 to 3.0.STABLE2. The configuration
files are not entirely backwards compatible, for details see:
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.0/squid-3.0.STABLE2-RELEASENOTES...
Due to a bug, the transparent proxy doesn't work. This should be fixed
after a first update.
---
Should this be added to the English XML?
Cheers,
Murray.

Regarding doc: readme-burning-isos
by Yuan Yijun
Hi,
I think the doc needs some update in "burning software" section:
1. first link http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm does
not work anymore
2. winxp has its own command to burn ISO to disk
Windows 2003 Resource Kit Tools (rktools.exe)
http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/e/c/8ec3a7d8-05b4-440a-a71e-ca3e...
And an instance (on winxp sp3 applied)
byuan@szpc527g /usr/local/bin
$ ln -s /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Windows\ Resource\ Kits/Tools/cdburn.exe
byuan@szpc527g /usr/local/bin
$ which cdburn
/usr/local/bin/cdburn
byuan@szpc527g /usr/local/bin
$ cdburn
Usage:
cdburn <drive> -erase [image [options]]
cdburn <drive> image [options]
Options:
-erase Erases the disk before burning (valid for R/W only)
-sao Writes the image out in "session at once", or cue
sheet, mode (default is "track at once")
-speed Speed of burn, or 'max' for maximum speed
-imagehaspostgap Use if your image already contains a 150
sector postgap
The [image] must be provided unless the -erase flag is set.
If both an image and -erase are provided, the media will be
erased prior to burning the image to the disc.
byuan@szpc527g /cygdrive/d/Downloads/Fedora
$ cdburn.exe g: Fedora-9-i386-DVD.iso -speed max
Requesting burn at maximum speed
Number of blocks in ISO image is 1aad9b
Finished Writing <= here it was a progress
number from 0% to 100% during operation
Synchronizing Cache: burn successful!

Docs toolchain
by Paul W. Frields
After the dust settles from the Fedora 9 release, around the week of
5th-9th May, we should try and set up a Docs toolchain group to assess
what work needs to be done with our toolchain:
1. Fix lingering problems
2. Make enhancements for usability
3. Integrate publican
4. Other?
Can we set up a weekly meeting on IRC Freenode (#fedora-docs) on a
weeknight (Sunday-Thursday) so that we can involve the Red Hat Docs
people in Brisbane? I've been doing a weekly phone call with that
group, but this would be a good way to move that conversation into
community space where it rightly belongs. Relaying messages is really
inefficient, and this gives the Docs team at Red Hat a good introduction
to our toolchain, and lets them participate in integrating publican.
This would be equivalent to the way the rest of Red Hat's engineers and
developers work with the community and would lead to renewed bonds and
teamwork.
I'll obviously participate since I have pretty good knowledge of our
tools, but that knowledge needs to leave my head and get into a lot of
others. Mainly that's because I'm no longer able to spend the time on
this work that it deserves.
Who's up for helping? I promise if I can learn this stuff, you can too.
It would be great to see some other contributors besides the people
already carrying substantial load. If you can run shell commands, you
can understand our tool set.

GCC and Eclipse beats hashed out
by Murray McAllister
Hi,
On http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/BeatStatus, are there any
reasons for the following being hashed out:
##|| [:Docs/Beats/Devel/Tools/GCC]
##|| [:Docs/Beats/Devel/Tools/Eclipse]
There were quite a few changes missing for the Eclipse section in the
GA release notes...
Cheers,
Murray.

Tasks to do?
by Keith Henkell
Is there a list of stuff that needs to get done? I'd love to be able
to grab a task from a list when I have an unplanned hour or two to
spend (like tonight).
Is there anything like the equivalent to the discussion page in
wikipedia/media wiki? It might make things easier for newbies like me
if we can look at a page with notes on what's been done and what
still needs to be done especially if it is stored with the actual
document.
