sphinx as search solution?
by Ian Weller 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

Here's a search engine solution[1] that doesn't run on Java and has a MediaWiki plugin[2]. Please take a look at let me know what you think with regards to using it for Fedora Infra's purposes.

Yikes, that's the first I heard of that -- can someone in Docs team take a look and verify what's going on there? -- Paul W.

Outside Linux magazine help
by Paul W. Frields 28 Apr '09

28 Apr '09

I was contacted by our Red Hat PR folks, who received a request from a Linux magazine for help preparing content for a special issue on Fedora 11. This magazine appears on newsstands around North America and some ESL regions as well. This job is actually does offer some pay for the work involved. Are there a couple volunteers who are interested in providing this content on a fairly short deadline of a few weeks? It would probably be worthwhile to have a small team, and I would recommend that team not be comprised -- at least not solely -- of people who are already committing their efforts to those things we really need for release. (However, you guys are the best judges of the time you have, so if there's someone superhuman out there, I won't stop you!) Please get in touch with me **OFF THE LIST**, in private, and I will hook you up directly with the editor of the publication in question. (By the way, they did very nice Fedora 9 and Fedora 10 issues, which I saw on newsstands around town, so these guys are legit!) Thanks for your help; you can contact me at pfrields(a)fedoraproject.org or the email above. -- Paul W.

Open source and diagramming survey
by chung＠engr.orst.edu 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

Dear open source contributors, I am Eunyoung Chung, a Masters student working with Dr. Jensen at Oregon State University. We are currently doing a research project in collaboration with Dr. Truong and Ph.D student Koji Yatani at University of Toronto. Our goal is to understand how contributors communicate and collaborate in Open Source Software (OSS) projects, including diagramming practices. We are seeking volunteers for a quick survey on this topic. Any person who is actively working on a OSS project is eligible. The survey takes approximately 10-15 minutes, and the 5 volunteers will be picked to receive a $30 Amazon gift certificate. Your participation is anonymous (unless you consent to have us contact you) Here is the survey address. https://secure.engr.oregonstate.edu/limesurvey/58564/lang-en We really appreciate your help!

Release Notes in F12 and beyond?
by Paul W. Frields 26 Apr '09

26 Apr '09

Several translation teams are doing a fantastic job getting translations of the Release Notes done for Fedora 11. However, it's a marked decrease in effort from the Fedora 10 release. From the few teams that talked about why they were not engaging in this effort, it looks like the large amount of material and churn in the Release Notes is a big demotivator for them, even though the churn from F10->F11 is significantly less than from F9->F10. It might be good to start thinking now about, and then clearly documenting for posterity (in a few months when we've all forgotten!), whether any change in the Release Notes strategy is desired. Perhaps the Docs team doesn't want to change that, in which case thought should be given to the translation needs for that document and how to address them. Several people have brought up the idea of making our official Release Notes document short and less technical, like those used in GNOME, and backing them up with more detailed pages on the wiki as needed. That's certainly one way to go. Just encouraging people to think about this problem and whether any change is warranted for F12 and beyond, and if so, what to change. -- Paul W.

Fedora 11 User Guide
by Ruediger Landmann 24 Apr '09

24 Apr '09

Just a heads-up to everyone that conversion of the Fedora 11 User Guide to Docbook XML is now complete and checked into the git repo here: http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/?p=docs/user-guide.git;a=summary The wiki version of the document includes the desktop icons for most of the applications mentioned in the guide. I haven't included these in the XML version due to time constraints. I'm also not sure how much value they really add to the guide, and whether other screen shots might be more useful instead of (or in addition to) the desktop icons. You can see a test build of the document here: http://rlandmann.fedorapeople.org/User%20Guide/ I've also created a branch in the repo named "f11-tx" that contains a folder named "po" to hold translations coming in through Transifex. This folder currently holds the user-guide.pot file, created with msgcat from the individual Publican .pot files. It also has an empty LINGUAS file. So, as soon as Matthew gives the say-so, this is ready for translation. Cheers Rudi

Bugs in relnotes?

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-April/msg00106.html https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-April/msg00107.html I'm not sure if Domingo filed these as bugs or reported them elsewhere, so I wanted to alert the Docs team to these issues in case people weren't already signed up on fedora-trans-list, which is the mailing list for global translation team issues (as opposed to the language-specific team issues). -- Paul W.
