Publican Issues
by Joshua Wulf
Based on feedback on this list, I've put together a proposal for the
Fedora Packaging Committee meeting.
You can view it here:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Publican_Documentation_Packages
The intent of the proposal is to move forward on the bugs mentioned in
it and get a raft of documents into the next release.
Please let me know what you think.

Re: Configuring Sudo
by Andrew Ross
Hi Rahul,
It's annoying to have to do visudo after every install :)
Couple of comments:
Technical
- You might want to mention that your step requires root access (obvious to us, but perhaps not to a newbie)
- Not sure on the Fedora style, but using "#" denotes root user in RH docs. Eg # echo 'sampleusername'.....
Neatness
- The OCD part of my brain would prefer editing the sudoers file rather appending :)
Grammar
- s/Fedora uses regular user account/Fedora uses a regular user account
- The rest I will leave that to a more skilled practitioner :)
Regards,
Andrew

There is no separate Rescue CD .... changed
Will the password line be within one line in all cases?
Then the whole thing can be done in one command
All users may not have the Fedora install/live cd/dvd with them.
So it makes sense to have other methods.
USB rescue missing

Release Notes Fwd: improve-relatime.patch dropped from F10

Thanks Matthew, this is perhaps one of the most important performance
tweaks for Fedora 11 and beyond.
We need to add this to the Release Notes or something like that!
Should we close the bug now?

Re: Fedora 'cvsl10n' sponsor needed for sumesz - 1. ismétlés
by Sulyok Peti
Ide kell küldeni a javaslatokat (angolul):
For participants of the docs project <fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com>
Igazából a 2.6.4 pont hivatkozik 2.8-ra. Szóval a sorrenddel nem lehet
baj. Az egyetlen angol mondattal viszont igen. Persze a fordítóknak
azért jól kéne tudnia angolul.
Nem tudom, hogy sumesz ezért nem küldött-e még bemutatkozó üzenetet. A
támogatóknak szóló ajánlás szerint szépen meg kell kérni, hogy tegye
meg. Miután ez megtörtént lehet támogatni. Különben ha többször
megismételt figyelmeztetésre sem reagál, akkor elkönyvelem, hogy túl
korán adta fel. Rajtam nem múlik.

An Introduction
by Rino Mardo
Hello, my name is Ferino Mardo but you can call me Rino. I am a
network professional having been in the industry for more than 18
years. I used to be a coder (from assembler to C) but now working as a
network manager. I don't consider myself a newbie though I also don't
call myself a h4ck3r :-) but I do know my way around computers and the
Internet.
I have time available and want to contribute it to this team because
as I see it this is (IMHO) where Fedora needs more help. I don't
really have any formal training in writing only a handful of blogs
here and there but I do know my English language quite well. Never
used docbook nor xml also and this is where I'm hoping I'd learn them
maybe by starting to edit some drafts?
Am looking forward to contribute and hope to "see" you soon!
Regards,
Rino Mardo
