Hi all,
I am writing a manual for squid, squidguard, grsecurity and iptables (not
too in depth) for pur networking dept. and I am wondering if all the css,
images, Makefiles etc. done by Tammy Fox and others are available for me to
use, as they are very nice, and look good.
Also I would like to conttribute to the docs project too.
Regards.
(excuse the use of ms outlook :( )

css: GPL (already says GPL on the top)
Makefile: GPL (just added license and copyright info to top of files)
xsl: GPL (already says GPL on the top)
stylesheet images (adminition graphics): only distributable with RH
and Fedora docs since they are the same ones used in the RHEL docs,
long term, we should created ones for Fedora that are GPLed. I added a
LICENSE file in the stylesheet-images directory describing how they
can be used (with RH or Fedora docs).
Does that cover everything in question?

Great! Are there any topics you are interested in writing about?

Tammy, et.al.
I am in the process of converting all of the XFree86 documentation to DocBook. One of the
things
that I have been asked to provide is a StyleGuide very similar to the documentation guide
that is
now part of the Fedora project. I would like to use much of the Fedora Documentation
Guide that
describes the tag usage in the XFree86 StyleGuide.
The license covering the Documentation Guide is the FDGL. This does not allow me to
excerpt the
part I would need and discard the rest. If you change the license to GPL, then I cannot
use any of
it (XFree86 does not allow GPL). Rather they use the X-License. This license is very
close to the
MIT-License. Daniel Veillard has dual licensed libxml2 and libxslt so that we can
distribute them
for document generation. We at XFree86 are committed to open source, but we cannot use
GPL.
Is there a way we can excerpt part of what the Fedora Project has already generated?

Tammy, et.al.
I am in the process of converting all of the XFree86 documentation to
DocBook. One
of the things
that I have been asked to provide is a StyleGuide very similar to the
documentation guide that is
now part of the Fedora project. I would like to use much of the
Fedora
Documentation Guide that
describes the tag usage in the XFree86 StyleGuide.
I think it is a brilliant guide. I had never done any xml beofre, but have
been reading about it and sgml for around 2 months. So many different
sources of info. Started following that guide and using emacs for it since
Monday. I feel in love with xml today. :-)

Gavin Henry.

Thanks. I started the guide about 3 years ago to help writers in the
RH docs group. I'm glad I have been able to share it via the Fedora
Project. There are so many sources of info about DocBook, that it can
be overwhelming for a beginner. The focus of this guide is to teach
you how to use DocBook quickly without having to learn the details of
how it works. After you become familiar with it, you can read the more
in-depth DocBook docs if you are interested. Most people just need to
know enough to be able to do the actual task at hand -- the writing
part.

What 2 licenses are libxml2 and libxslt under?

already generated?
Not sure. Are you using parts of other docs already? If so, what
licenses are they under?

That just about covers everything. I will need to make my adminitions then.
What topics do we have on offer? I do like grsecurity, but does it have to
be a redhat topic? What about something in the lines of gentoo documention,
i.e. docs on setting up various things, not pure redhat? I am doing one now
on squid with squidguard, swatch, grsecurity and iptables, but the iptables
bit is just the script taken from the Redhat guide for firewalls book by
Bill McCarthy, with my bit thrown in.

Gavin.

It has to be somehow related to the Fedora Project. So, documenting
anything in Fedora Core, Fedora Extras, etc. is on topic. Even
documenting how to add something specific like software to use a
digital camera or recorder to Fedora Core, Fedora Extras, etc. is
relevant.
