Need Feedback on HOWTO wiki created by /me.
by Kishan Goyal
Hi,
Last week I made a wiki page on HOWTO Install Fedora 11. The page is
an effort to help users with the installation of Fedora 11.
I used VirtualBox to install Fedora 11 virtually on my laptop, and, in
the process, took screenshots of every step that I encountered and
wrote down the installation procedure in steps. The wiki page is
available here [1].
This is the first time I have created such a HOWTO or guide and I may
have missed out on something. I would be glad to receive any comments,
criticism, etc. which would help me to improve this wiki and in my
future ventures.

Thanks,
Regards,
Kishan Goyal.

Fedora Desktop Guide Update
by Matthew Daniels
At last week's FDSCo meeting, I blabbered along for a few minutes concerning
where I wanted to go with the User Guide (and, subsequently, that I thought
we should rename it).
I've put together a mock table of contents and a few sample paragraphs of
the sort of style I envisioned in the rewritten guide. I'd appreciate any
comments on other ways to address the audience, better topics to choose, or
anything else that you feel would make it better.
Please note that it's neither properly formatted nor spell/grammar-checked
nor comprehensive in scope. I'm just looking for ideas before we get too
far instead of after we've done half the guide.
Links:
http://danielsmw.fedorapeople.org/Guide.pdf
http://danielsmw.fedorapeople.org/Guide.odt
Also, because of the way this has been
restyled, I think it could be easier for people to contribute; instead
of delving into the full document and pulling out a scalpel to
existing, messy content, people could just send me a paragraph or two
on a particular question they care about or think is relevant.
Cheers!

Almost-finalized: Marketing F12 schedule
by Mel Chua
I've updated the F12 schedule according to the meeting
(https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2009-July/msg00140....)
that Paul, John, and myself had today.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_F12_schedule
We've got some dates and such to coordinate with various teams (cc'd
here) before Monday in order to make sure our calendars sync up. One of
the things we'll be talking about at the Marketing meeting tomorrow
(https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_meetings) is how to make sure
that each Marketing + OtherTeam coordination happens this week - some of
these connections already have delegates, others have people who
probably should be, others are wide open.
The notes below are very, *very* much drafts, and only starting points!
It's also entirely possible that I've put *too* much in the notes below
(that figuring out something shouldn't be Marketing's job, or its
focus). Patches welcome.
--Mel

Design: We should make sure we get you a release slogan in time, and
give fast enough feedback/final-slogan turnaround based on your designs
that you can make release buttons/banners with time to spare. Also need
to see what sort of work we need to coordinate in order to make spiffy
Ambassadors kits.
Docs: We should commit to those 1-page shiny release notes you wanted,
and find other good points during the cycle to check in with each other.
We also need to talk (possibly with News) on who'd like to do what
portions of talking points and in-depth feature profiles. (How can we
market our documentation as awesome, too?)
Ambassadors: We need to schedule a briefing for you folks to happen once
the talking points are ready - but most importantly, we need to learn
how we can listen to you better so that we can make the things you
actually want and *need* to spread the word on the ground. What can we do?
Websites: We should talk - potentially with Design - about how we're
going to coordinate various webpage redesigns and revisions, and how our
respective roles complement each other.
News: We also need to talk (possibly with Docs) on who'd like to do what
portions of talking points and in-depth feature profiles. We should also
figure out what's going on with News and Marketing and Fedora Insight,
so we can schedule in coordination times with other teams if needed.

Release Notes Schedule
by John J. McDonough
As I dug into John Poelstra's schedule in more detail, I noticed a few
issues that I hadn't noticed in earlier reviews. Specifically, very long
times on some short tasks with short times on some more difficult tasks, and
tasks out of order.
Since I don't have a really good feel for the guides, I put together what I
thought was a more workable schedule for release notes only. Eric was going
to look at guides. My strawman is at:
http://jjmcd.fedorapeople.org/F12RN2a.html
I fixed major milestones to the same dates that John had so hopefully we
don't affect other teams. However, I did put a couple of L10N tasks on the
list since they are tied closely to us. I have not, however, had any
discussion with L10N as to whether these times make any sense at all to
them.
John suggested we get together in a Gobby/Talk meeting to get this schedule
into sync with his. I think we need to get the guides schedule integrated
with this and include a representative from L10N in that meeting.
Because of the new definition of alpha and beta, our schedule looks a lot
different than earlier releases. Specifically, since alpha should be
"feature complete", we should have almost everything we need for release
notes by alpha. That means the bulk of our work is between alpha and beta.
However, since Beta should include more or less complete release notes, L10N
will need time to translate them. That pushes Docs work forward some,
meaning we will have a real scramble right around alpha, and L10N will have
a pile of work just before beta. The upside is that the work before GA
should be a little less onerous, and there should be little left to
translate.
If we can make our plan of a table for all changes and prose only for
significant effort required to convert plus highlighting high-profile
features, there should be a lot less prose to write (and translate) than
previous releases. We will, however, need some pretty aggressive wiki
gardening to allow us to convert to XML quickly.
I would like everyone to take a really close look at this, and comment on it
on this list. I think I have the major tasks identified, but it is always
good to have more input.
Thanks

Zikula Help
by Eric Christensen
Paul wanted me to contact you guys to see if we could figure out a good
time for us all to get together to work on the problems we are having
with the Zikula modules.
You can read about the problems by checking out bugs 492091, 505938, and
506038. Bug 511998 is also licensing related, but it’s easier to solve
even by the unskilled (rip and replace some icons).
Thanks again for stepping up!

Hi Josef -- and many, many thanks for your hard work on getting the
Release Notes translated!
I've just rebuilt the Czech version and pushed it to the
docs.fedoraproject.org repo; it will become visible the next time that
the webserver synchronises with the repo (sometime in the next few hours).
I also corrected a small number of little XML errors that prevented the
book from building properly. You can see them here:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/docs/?p=docs/release-notes.git;a=commitdi...
I notice that you still have the cs.po file checked out through
Transifex; if you check this back in, you'll over-write those changes,
so you should either download a fresh copy of cs.po, or if you have made
changes in your local copy that you haven't checked in yet, please fix
those same errors in your local copy before uploading :)

Getting from the po file submitted in Transifex to pages on the web site
is a long, complicated, and frustrating process that involves wrestling
with a couple of incompatible tools ;)
You can get a feel for the first stages of the process here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-May/msg00150.html
-- with a correction here:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2009-May/msg00169.html
I seriously suggest that it's not worth learning this process unless you
have a lot of time and need more pain in your life -- both the
incompatible tools (Transifex and Publican) are about to have major
upgrades soon that will make almost all of this irrelevant...
Cheers

Fwd: Czech translation of Fedora 11 Release Notes
by Eric Christensen
---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Josef Hruška <josef.hruska(a)upcmail.cz>
Date: 2009/7/30
Subject: Czech translation of Fedora 11 Release Notes
To: fedora-trans-list(a)redhat.com
Hi,
I am sorry to disturb all from the discussion on Fedora 12 Release
Notes schedule but the Czech translation of F11 Release Notes is now on
90% and I have two three questions.
Would it be possible to publish the Release Notes as a web page(s) on
Fedora Project? At lease for "pre-view" purposes, to work on
finalisation of the translation before official publication?
How can I help or what I should do to happen this (publication on the FP
web site)?

Release Notes Meeting 2009-07-30 Log
by Eric Christensen
15:05:01 <Sparks> #startmeeting Release Notes Meeting
15:05:44 <Sparks> #topic Roll Call
15:05:47 * Sparks
15:06:11 <jjmcd> Ack - I totally forgot about this ;-)
15:06:22 * rudi is here
15:06:45 <Sparks> jjmcd: Yeah, me too. I was trying to figure out why
rudi was still up!
15:06:54 <rudi> lolz
15:07:05 * jjmcd was blogging on yesterday's meeting
15:08:12 <Sparks> #topic Last meeting
15:08:18 <Sparks> Okay from the last meeting I see...
15:08:32 <Sparks> that we agreed to use Publican for everything
15:08:53 <Sparks> that we needed three documents (right?)
15:09:21 <jjmcd> 3 formats?
15:09:28 <Sparks> three documents
15:09:34 <Sparks> 1) "normal" RNs
15:09:50 <Sparks> 2) "pretty" RNs (one-page by Marketing)
15:10:00 <Sparks> 3) things to know about upgrading
15:10:04 <jjmcd> Ahh yes, OK
15:10:25 <Sparks> The agenda from last week was:
15:10:32 <Sparks> 1. How to improve on the F12 RNs
15:10:41 <Sparks> 2. What products need to be generated.
15:10:53 <Sparks> 3. Using Publican for the RNs
15:11:00 <Sparks> 4. Training people to write beats.
15:11:23 <Sparks> Anything else we need to discuss?
15:11:44 <jjmcd> Perhaps today we should address products
15:12:00 <Sparks> okay
15:12:10 <Sparks> #topic RN Products
15:12:10 <jjmcd> We have agreement on 3 and last week we hit 1
15:12:36 <Sparks> Yes, and I've successfully gotten a Publican package
into the repo now
15:12:57 <Sparks> So there are a few tweeks that need to be made but
they aren't difficult
15:13:00 <jjmcd> I think there is the question of what to produce for
online, how to present it, and what is actually in
fedora-release-notes.rpm
15:13:17 <Sparks> Yes
15:13:22 <jjmcd> Yeah, getting the rpm actually built isn't a big deal IMO
15:13:32 <Sparks> So, IMO, we should provide the RN online in HTML,
HTML-Single, and PDF
15:14:00 <rudi> +1 -- I really don't think anyone will miss ZIP and
TGZ if they're not there...
15:14:17 <Sparks> jjmcd: ?
15:14:19 <jjmcd> But my question is what does that look like? The
example you had wouldn't work for RN
15:14:39 <Sparks> What does what look like?
15:14:59 <jjmcd> The web page where the user selects what he wants
15:15:05 <Sparks> Ahh
15:15:22 <rudi> I think that ryanlerch has been working on that a little
15:15:27 <Sparks> Well, it will probably (hopefully) be in Zikula by
then so this will be a moot point but...
15:15:50 <rudi> Trying to work out how to tidy up the index page a bit
15:15:51 <Sparks> I made a table that can be seen at
docs.fedoraproject.org/security-guide.
15:16:15 <Sparks> It isn't complete but is the basis for not having a
complicated jumble
15:16:21 <jjmcd> Does that really change anything? The user still
needs to be faced with an incredible array of choices.
15:16:28 <jjmcd> Well, that isn't terrubly useful
15:16:30 <rudi> (ryanlerch is ECS's graphics go-to-guy)
15:16:43 <Sparks> Actually use http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-user-guide/
15:16:50 <Sparks> My table is jacked up, apparently
15:16:57 <jjmcd> the security guide only has a few languages, not 12
releases, 42 languages, live versus now
15:17:15 <Sparks> Lots of choices isn't a problem. Being able to
clearly see the choices is the problem
15:17:23 <Sparks> why 12 releases?
15:17:38 <jjmcd> We keep RN's online for past releases
15:17:59 <jjmcd> 1512 products per release
15:18:12 <Sparks> Hold on...
15:18:20 <rudi> I think it's really important to have that archival
material important; but does it need to be right there in the face of
the user who's probably looking for the latest stuff?
15:18:29 <jjmcd> You have like a dozen for security-guide
15:18:30 <Sparks> We can group the different releases into their own
tables and provide links to those at the top of the page...
15:18:37 <jjmcd> rudi: I'll buy that
15:18:42 <Sparks> but how do you get 1512 products per release?
15:19:02 <jjmcd> whoops, I added in the 12, forgot the 2
15:19:26 <jjmcd> OK, only 252
15:19:34 <Sparks> How do you get 252?
15:20:14 <jjmcd> 42 langs times 3 formats times 2 (we keep the
original for live as well as most reent)
15:20:49 <Sparks> Well, if we sort by language and each language has
three options then it shouldn't be complicated.
15:21:02 <Sparks> sort language alphabetically
15:21:06 <jjmcd> I'm not sure we really need that but it's what we've been doing
15:21:27 <Sparks> No, what I've seen is a jumble of language codes
which is NOT user friendly
15:21:58 <jjmcd> Hmmmm, with help from L10N we could have a language
selection leading to a table of releases/formats
15:21:58 <Sparks> There is a BIG difference between the release-notes
and the selinux-user-guide page
15:22:13 <jjmcd> Yes, hundreds of docs verses a handful
15:22:35 <Sparks> But the way the RN languages are presented is not good
15:22:38 <Sparks> it is very confusing
15:22:55 <jjmcd> I agree, but RN's presented like SG would be much worse
15:23:11 <Sparks> You can add every language you want to under the
SELinux and everything will be easy to find
15:23:54 <jjmcd> I'm not really thrilled with a 1000 line long list
15:24:06 <Sparks> But it wouldn't be 1000 lines
15:24:14 <Sparks> just 42
15:24:28 <Sparks> sorted alphabetically by language
15:24:51 <jjmcd> So you choose the release on a separate page?
15:24:54 <Sparks> We'd put each release in it's own table to break it up
15:25:10 <Sparks> nah, just stack the tables with links to the table
at the top of the page or something
15:25:17 <jjmcd> Oh, no, a link to previous releases which looks like
the current, that might work
15:25:19 <Sparks> but you could do separate pages
15:25:43 <rudi> Or current-2 on the main page, and everything else on
another page
15:25:48 <Sparks> sure
15:26:10 <Sparks> Might be interesting to break them all up on
different pages just to see the hits
15:26:28 <jjmcd> Yeah
15:27:04 <Sparks> Of course this is a near-pointless conversation if
we do get Zikula stood up before then
15:27:23 <jjmcd> Why? We still have the question as to how to present it
15:27:44 <Sparks> Yeah, but we might have a completely different set
of ways to present it then
15:27:55 <Sparks> drop down menus and other sexy things
15:28:40 <jjmcd> Well, I haven't played with Zikula enough, but it
doesn't seem to make that much difference. Personally, I'm mostly
hoping to get away from that stupid CVS ;-))
15:29:14 <Sparks> Well, I think Zikula will automate a few things for us.
15:29:35 <Sparks> And we won't be waiting for hours while the
docs.fp.o site updates
15:30:00 <jjmcd> The release notes pages is already php, we could do
drop downs and other goodies if we wanted
15:30:25 <jjmcd> But it is kind of a pain to do anything when you have
a bunch of character sets you can't read
15:30:35 <Sparks> We could... I'm just not that talented anymore.
If someone wants to do it I say go for it.
15:30:40 <Sparks> Yes
15:31:00 <rudi> I might forward this conversation to ryan when I see
him in a few hours :)
15:31:40 <Sparks> :)
15:31:54 <jjmcd> OK, I'll go play with something on my local zikula
instance and see if a vison comes down from the heavens, but a single
list of langs with a link to old stuff sounds like good possibility
15:32:27 <Sparks> Okay
15:32:50 <Sparks> rudi: good for you?
15:33:01 <rudi> All good
15:33:31 <Sparks> #agreed a single list of langs with a link to old
stuff sounds good for presentation on docs.fp.o
15:33:37 <Sparks> jjmcd: What's next?
15:33:42 <jjmcd> OK, so what about f-r-n.rpm? Are we going to try to
separate by lang?
15:33:45 <rudi> Before we move on....
15:33:54 <Sparks> rudi: Go ahead
15:34:03 <rudi> I thought that we should probably talk about the "minor docs"
15:34:16 <jjmcd> Yeah
15:34:32 * Sparks has always been confused by the "minor docs"
15:34:36 <rudi> These are currently packaged with the release notes,
but I really don't think that they belong there.
15:34:44 <Sparks> What are they?
15:34:48 <Sparks> And why are they there?
15:34:49 <jjmcd> These are the docs that can't drink
15:34:53 <rudi> lolz
15:34:59 <rudi> Readme
15:35:00 <Sparks> Ha!
15:35:01 <rudi> About Fedora
15:35:12 <rudi> Readme-burning-isos
15:35:13 <jjmcd> readme, readme-burning-isos, homepage, etc
15:35:15 <rudi> readme-live-images
15:35:20 <rudi> yeah
15:35:37 <Sparks> I understand the "About Fedora". Why the others?
15:35:51 <rudi> Legacy, I presume
15:35:53 <jjmcd> About-Fedora shows up in yelp, but I wonder how many
people ever trip across the others
15:36:08 <jjmcd> Should they be in yelp too?
15:36:28 <Sparks> Well... if we aren't presenting them in yelp why
are they there?
15:36:39 <rudi> In some ways, their scope makes them look lke ideal
wiki contenders
15:36:43 <Sparks> Couldn't we integrate it into a guide better?
15:36:46 <jjmcd> Currently they are text
15:36:52 <rudi> But static docs lend themselves better to localisation
15:37:01 <rudi> and these docs have been *extensively* localised
15:37:15 <rudi> (I presume because they're short and therefore
attractive projects)
15:37:40 <jjmcd> Perhaps about-fedora contains links to these docs
instead of putting them in the rpm
15:37:53 <Sparks> Well, can we either make them guides onto themselves
or fold them into another guide
15:37:59 <Sparks> jjmcd: +1
15:38:10 <rudi> jjmcd -- at the very most.
15:38:27 <jjmcd> homepage is a different Q tho
15:38:36 <Sparks> What is homepage?
15:38:48 <jjmcd> What you get when you open Galeon
15:39:03 <jjmcd> or maybe its epiphany
15:39:04 <rudi> A page that loads in certain browsers if you start the
browser without a net connection
15:39:22 <Sparks> Ahhh
15:39:22 <jjmcd> In at least one of them, you get it even if you have
a connection
15:39:29 <rudi> Heh
15:39:50 <jjmcd> I think the connection thing used to be the case for
firefox but isn't anymore
15:39:51 * Sparks notes that FF starts http://start.fedoraproject.org
15:39:52 <rudi> I think it's awful; all it can do is confuse users
into thinking that they're online, when they're really not
15:40:36 <Sparks> Well, I think it should be separate from the RNs
15:40:44 <rudi> Sparks +1
15:40:55 <Sparks> I don't like bundling all this stuff together
15:40:57 <jjmcd> We need to understand what browsers use it and why
15:41:01 <rudi> And if Galeon or something else needs it; it should
belong to that package
15:41:14 <Sparks> We need to identify the something else
15:41:20 <jjmcd> If it's one browser I agree, but I think there are multiples
15:41:27 <rudi> Or should be packaged up as a dependency for whoever
needs/wants it.
15:41:48 <rudi> (Or they should get their browsers to point to
something more useful... this is 2009....)
15:41:59 <jjmcd> Exactly, rudi
15:42:09 <Sparks> yes
15:42:33 <jjmcd> But we need to identify the affected browsers and
contact their developers
15:42:44 <Sparks> jjmcd: Want to handle that?
15:42:57 <jjmcd> I guess I can do that
15:43:19 <rudi> As for "About Fedora"...
15:43:26 <Sparks> #action jjmcd to determine the affected browsers and
contact the developers for the homepage project
15:44:16 <rudi> (sorry -- am I getting too far ahead?)
15:44:21 <jjmcd> I've wanted an excise to see what browsers we have
15:44:52 <jjmcd> lynx uses it even if you are connected
15:46:10 <Sparks> jjmcd: Yeah
15:46:19 <Sparks> rudi: Go ahead with the "About Fedora'
15:47:00 <rudi> I can see the importance of that if it shows up in
Yelp; but it doesn't really have anything to do with the RNs
15:47:45 <rudi> I just wonder if there's a better home for it...
15:48:10 <rudi> (With yelp itself if that's the only place people will
ever see it?)
15:50:10 <rudi> (And who would miss it if it wasn't even there?)
15:51:23 <jjmcd> Well, mostly it's recruiting
15:52:09 <Sparks> I think it should be packaged separately
15:52:34 <Sparks> I think it has its place in the OS but it is
separate from the RN
15:52:47 <rudi> +1
15:53:16 <jjmcd> f-r-n.rpm currently contains all the OS docs
installed on the users system. Do we buy a lot by breaking it up into
multiple packages?
15:53:53 <rudi> Well, it may only be two packages (three if we have to
keep homepage)
15:53:54 <Sparks> Well, that's less to download when there is an
update of one piece
15:54:16 <jjmcd> Yeah, but about-fedora and homepage are pretty tiny
15:54:35 <jjmcd> We will add to the space we take on the live cd by
breaking them up
15:55:07 <Sparks> How much space? Is it negligable?
15:55:25 <jjmcd> Its pretty small, but then every byte on the LiveCD is precious
15:55:32 <Sparks> I agree
15:55:41 <Sparks> Who is in charge of the LiveCD project?
15:55:58 <jjmcd> Dunno? Is that Jeroen?
15:56:47 <Sparks> I don't know. But if that is our blocker we should
contact those folks
15:57:17 <jjmcd> I gotta boogie here pretty soon, but I will go ahead
and run a test to see what the price actually is
15:57:18 <rudi> Well, if we can at least get the Live-Images and
Burning-ISOs docs out of there this time around, that's a start :/
15:57:20 <Sparks> DavidZeuthen
15:57:52 <jjmcd> that's a new name to me. I think RelEng spends a lot
of time stressing over it each release
15:57:58 <Sparks> rudi: That's true. removing those docs will reduce
the overall size that we've been pushing
15:58:15 <rudi> ...and, more importantly, complexity and redundancy...
15:58:18 <Sparks> jjmcd: Jeremy Katz and Douglas McClendon too
15:58:36 <Sparks> rudi: Yes
15:59:16 <jjmcd> Maybe we add to Yelp an "Additional DOcumentation"
topic that has links to install, security, etc
15:59:16 <Sparks> #action jjmcd to determine space differentials
between the combined RN and the individual files in RPMs
15:59:26 <Sparks> jjmcd: +1
16:00:01 <Sparks> #idea break up all documents that are currently
packaged as f-r-n.rpm into separate RPMs
16:00:27 <rudi> #idea -- don't package any that we don't know that we have to
16:00:32 <Sparks> #idea move Readme-burning-isos and readme into a guide
16:00:48 <Sparks> anything else we need to capture?
16:01:01 <rudi> I think that was it :)
16:01:05 <jjmcd> OK, I gotta go, but I have a few action items (which
I needed like a hole in the head)
16:01:12 <rudi> That was my "wo minutes of minor docs hate"
16:01:12 <Sparks> :)
16:01:18 <rudi> jjmcd -- before you run
16:01:29 <jjmcd> ?
16:01:30 <rudi> Just a heads up that I branched f12 tonight
16:01:34 <jjmcd> cool
16:01:36 <rudi> (In case you didn't see)
16:01:42 <jjmcd> appreciate it
16:01:49 <rudi> And loaded in some dummy content that you can pull
down and build :)
16:02:34 <jjmcd> OK, so master is sstill F11, but we will change that
after the next update to get in changes and new translations
16:02:41 <Sparks> jjmcd: I'm going to do a blog on the beats here in a minute
16:02:44 <rudi> Yeah
16:02:47 <jjmcd> good deal
16:02:50 <Sparks> jjmcd: Is there a link to the beats for f12?
16:03:03 <jjmcd> wiki/Documentation_Beats
16:03:12 <Sparks> cool
16:03:19 <Sparks> anything else?
16:03:37 <rudi> Not from me :)
16:03:41 <Sparks> jjmcd: you?
16:03:45 <jjmcd> nope
16:03:48 <rudi> We seem to average one agenda item per hour :)
16:04:27 <Sparks> rudi: Yeah but we do get a lot done
16:04:28 <Sparks> :)
16:04:31 <Sparks> Okay...
