All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug report. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=450331 Summary: lack of documentation on restoring from bare-metal (UUID problem) Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: low Priority: low Component: docs-requests AssignedTo: kwade(a)redhat.com ReportedBy: czar(a)acm.org QAContact: stickster(a)gmail.com CC: fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com Description of problem: ref: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449299 There is a lack of documentation on restoring a system from bare metal. I have found (see reference) that restore the root ("/") is not as simple as as just executing the restore command when running in rescue mode. With the current emphasis being place on use of UUIDs in both Fedora and RHEL, the whole business of UUIDs need to be better documented.

Proposal for Implementing a Docbook Editor
by satya komaragiri 22 May '09

22 May '09

Hello, I am a final year undergraduate student from India and I plan to apply for Google Summer of Code. I would like to implement a Docbook editor. I discussed this idea with Mr. Yaakov Nemoy (cc'ed in this mail) who has agreed and is guiding me through the process. The Docbook editor will make it easy to write documentation through a wysiwyg interface. Since Docbook has a great collection of XSLs[1] it will be easy to convert it to HTML and write a web based editor. My research has pointed me to Beacon[2], which is a similar editor for GuideXML (Gentoo's documentation format). It uses an XSLT engine to transform XML to HTML and vice versa. I contacted the developer of this project and it seems like this project has been in hibernation for couple of months or so. But the codebase is quite developed and should be easy to work with. The developers were also making it a generic plug-able framework for easy integration of other doc types. Since it is a web-based editor, we can integrate this into the Fedora documentation site for easy editing and creation. It would be very nice if the Docs team could provide some feedback on what they feel about a web-based GUI editor which would eliminate the need for knowing the Docbook XML format. If I am given a go ahead, I would like to put this up as a Feature. Regards, Satya Komaragiri [1] Existing XSL for Docbook: http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/DocBookXslStylesheets [2] Beacon: http://beacon.kix.in/

Meeting tonight
by Paul W. Frields 19 May '09

19 May '09

I can't make tonight's meeting but I'll check out the logs -- I'm interested in hearing how the release notes work went, since I was on vacation and missed most of the fireworks. Well, except the fireworks I saw. Which is a separate story. :-) Paul

Archer release notes
by Tom Tromey 11 May '09

11 May '09

Is it too late to add release notes? I wanted to add a little warning about GDB, but then when I looked I could not find any mention of GDB in the release notes. (I expected the release notes from the Archer project page to be automatically brought in... but I neglected to check, sorry about that.) If it is not too late, the notes from that page are still ok: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Archer#Release_Notes The addition I wanted to make is a warning to the effect that the Python API should be considered unstable. Something like: WARNING: The Python API to GDB is still under development. We cannot currently guarantee that future revisions to the API will remain compatible. thanks, Tom

Guides Page
by Eric Christensen 04 May '09

04 May '09

I've created a guide page[1] on the wiki that shows all the guides that we are currently supporting. My plan is to include a list of all the guides, a brief introduction paragraph, a sentence that tells people how they can become involved, and where they can find the guide (html, pdf, RPM, etc). Please visit the page and provide that information on your guide. [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_guides Thanks, Eric

[Fedora Release Notes] #29: Remove whitespace trigger ugly PDF formatting
by fedora-badges 02 May '09

#29: Remove whitespace trigger ugly PDF formatting ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: quaid | Owner: quaid Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: RC-ready Component: Content | Version: 10 Keywords: | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Just in case we cannot get this fixed in the PDF toolchain, we need to remove all the leading whitespace for tags that display CDATA or other content verbatim. This could be done as part of a general run of a tool such as docbook-lint or xmlformat. Before doing that, we need to assess the risk of the tool chaining line numbers and causing translation stats to go fuzzy. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/release-notes/ticket/29> Fedora Release Notes <https://fedorahosted.org/release-notes/> Fedora Release Notes

#30: Links to Feature pages for all features discussed ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ Reporter: quaid | Owner: quaid Type: task | Status: new Priority: major | Milestone: PR-ready Component: Content | Version: 10 Keywords: | ---------------------+------------------------------------------------------ ... even the features that weren't complete but still have useful content. We were inconsistent with this. Hopefully we can just tag a <para><ulink/></para> block on the end without disturbing the l10n stats. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/release-notes/ticket/30> Fedora Release Notes <https://fedorahosted.org/release-notes/> Fedora Release Notes

Security Guide Doc on Transifex
by Diego Búrigo Zacarão 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

Hello, I have noticed that some people are having troubles to submit the PO files to SG doc on Tx. As far as I could understand, it seems to be due the fact that you are trying to upload to the target 'po/<LANG>.po' That project doesn't have a po/ directory. You should commit the PO files in the root of the repo. So the correct target is '<LANG>.po' I just committed a pt_BR.po to serve as an example. Anyway, we are working to make that clear in the future. Regards -- Diego Búrigo Zacarão http://diegobz.net Linux User #402589 USE SOFTWARE LIVRE

FAD at Southeast Linuxfest?
by David Nalley 30 Apr '09

30 Apr '09

So I wanted to see what the interest level was in having a FAD concentrating on Docs either before or after the Southeast Linuxfest. Just to give you a heads up, the Southeast Linuxfest is June 13th at Clemson University in South Carolina More info here: http://southeastlinuxfest.org A number of Docs contributors are in the Southeast, off the top of my head they include: *stickster *jsmith *Sparks *laubersm (though she already has a conflict) *ke4qqq *danielsmw *Eawest (though she will be very great with child or welcoming home a newborn during SELF and thus unable to attend) Some of the possible targets we could work on: *Answer the Docs_decisions_for_F12 * Mint some new packagers within Docs *Hack on some of the internal infrastructure *Work on Zikula I am sure there are other things, this event falls literally right after the F11 release so it might be a good time to do some strategy for the the coming year. In possible anticipation - I have tentatively reserved the same building SELF is being held in for our use on Sunday. I welcome comments, enthusiastic comments, and flames
