[gdk@redhat.com: [TOS] Textbook sprint today, 1pm - 4pm eastern US time]
by Karsten Wade
For those who don't know, we're working via teachingopensource.org on
a textbook, "Practical Open Source Software Engineering," for how to
teach participating in open source projects. It's a textbook aimed at
instructors teaching classes where FLOSS participation might happen --
could be software, but could be other disciplines.
Anyway, another writing sprint happening today.
http://en.flossmanuals.net/bin/view/PracticalOSSEngineering
I'll be working on the documentation chapter again today. Stop by if
you are interested and find out what we are doing; you are welcome to
leap right in.

Accessibility Guide Update
by Eric Christensen
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hard to believe but I've actually had time to work on the Accessibility Guide. Still trying to get all the GNOME stuff into the guide, though. GNOME has lots of information but it is spread out all over the place.
I doubt I can get this out before the F12 release BUT I'm going to try to release some version of the guide shortly there after. I need a couple of things to make this happen, however. I need fact checkers, docbook editors, and a grammar editor. I'm going to work on the fact checking but I don't write as much as some do in docbook so I might be missing some tags. Could someone take a look at the current markup and check things out? It shouldn't take long as the guide isn't comprehensive and is only a few pages (eight in PDF).
Thanks!

moreinfo option in xml tags in deployment guide
by Domingo Becker
There are thousands of strings marked fuzzy in the deployment guide
and the only difference is the following:
msgid "<command>the string in English</command>"
msgstr "<command moreinfo=\"none\">the string in Spanish</command>"
Is it safe to remove the fuzzy tag without removing the " moreinfo=\"none\""?
I guess the moreinfo option will not be used anyway in the publican tools.
The translations are correct.

Self-Introduction
by Anoop Thomas Mathew
*Hi all,*
I am Anoop Thomas Mathew, interested to be a part of fedora pride. You may
check out my profile description at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Atmb4u .
I have previous experience in VIM and Scribus projects. Though I don't have
a direct documentation experience.
I have been using fedora and other open source since 2004, and started open
source development early 2006. I am pretty well in documentation and
technical writing.
I am a good graphic designer, also a user interface designer. Also, I have
the skill to make the other person understand through words.
Last but not least, Experience is the best teacher. I would like to work
with fedora documentations, and become keen in documenting softwares.
I would like to be a part of fedora documentation,user interface and front
end designer groups.

User Guide update / Re: Docs Meeting 2009-11-05
by Susan Lauber
Rudi,
RE: User's Guide update for F12
I've got some time early next week - maybe over the weekend - not before.
Make it idiot proof and I'll help - ie assign me a unit or three and
I'll see if I can't get them updated.
oh - and make sure I know what branch I am supposed to be working on in git.
I already have (or had last release) commit to the git and I've got a
F12 test box handy.

00:21:23 <jjmcd> don't you just love that
00:21:26 <Sparks> danielsmw: You here tonight?
00:22:08 <Sparks> Hmmm... Well I see it on the docs.fp.o for F12...
00:22:12 <rudi> Yeah -- I got bit because I forgot that different docs
have entirely different directory structures :)
00:22:12 <Sparks> I'll take that as a good sign.
00:22:26 <Sparks> rudi: We need to remedy that.
00:22:43 <jjmcd> We need to be sure we don't do that on zikula
00:22:47 <Sparks> yes
