Over the past few releases we've not only increased the content we've
put out but we've also made changes that have been beneficial for the
community as a whole.

Some of the bigger changes that come to mind are the move to Publican
for building our formal guides, Publican-provided web front-end for
docs.fp.o, change of license from OPL to CC-BY-SA, and the move to
DocBook XML.

I'd like to add two new goals to this list of changes: publishing
translations by L10n teams and QA.

Our current process of visiting Transifex several times a day, week, or
month to see if there has been any changes to the translations and if
those translations are ready to be published and also trying to remember
if you've already published them before.  It just makes sense to let the
translators that have better visibility into their work push their
documentation out to docs.fp.o and to package their work into an RPM to
be submitted to the Fedora Repos.  Our current tool, Publican, should
provide an easy means of doing both especially as we move forward with
using Koji as part of our publishing process.  This will require
training and packager status for each language team.  Perhaps it is a
tall order but certainly not one that is outside of the realm of
possibilities.

For the QA goal, I foresee all changes to guides being put in front of
an editor/fact checker to make sure that what we are saying is correct
and that the procedures are correct (and most importantly won't bork
someone's system).  The QA process can be integrated into Bugzilla (it's
actually already there) and we can keep track of changes in that manner.

Anyone have any thoughts?
