Hi All,

I believe my write up of the Docs session at Flock is ready.  I would
appreciate some input.  In particular, please look at the readability
concerns.  While I am not concerned by the findings and expected some of
them given the topic, I want to make sure the posting meets the
standards for this blog.

https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/wp-admin/post.php?post=2082&a...

Also, jflory has said he would make a quick picture to go at the top :)

Thank you.

regards,

bex

Hey bex, thanks for writing this and putting it together! From a 
contributor perspective, this was super informative for me to read about 
the Docs Project – these kind of updates are great!

To help clarify about our standards, if you compare side-by-side with 
the Fedora Magazine, I try to make the CommBlog much easier to be 
published on. The idea is that it's insider news, by contributors, for 
contributors. Getting that information out is more important than 
perfecting it like we would over on the Magazine. That doesn't mean 
things don't get some shine and polish, but I'd much rather push 
something than spend a week or two going back forth on editing and 
getting feedback.

I took a spin through it and changed formatting, fixed a few typos, 
etc., but this was a really easy submission to get through. You can see 
a preview of the article (with the snazzy featured image) at the link below:

 
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/?p=2082&preview=1&_ppp=47...

Let me know if it looks good to you! For now, I have it scheduled for 
Monday at 8:15 UTC.

Thanks again for writing, and congrats on your first CommBlog article! 
:) Looking forward to seeing some more in the future.

Minor correction – I have it scheduled for Tuesday, 2016-08-16 at the 
same time. When it's possible and convenient to do so, I try to schedule 
CommBlog posts on Tuesdays and Thursdays, since the Magazine usually 
published on M-W-F… so that way everything gets its own time in the 
front without being overshadowed by something else. :)

Thank you Justin.

Is it possible to see versions in WordPress?  I would like to see the
changes you made so I can start looking for those typos in my writing :)

Also, it is currently scheduled for Tuesday at 8:15 UTC.  Can we move
that to Monday, 15 August 0815 UTC?

regards,

bex

Sorry for more email, but I am noticing some formatting oddities.

Why is the heading "Topic-based writing" so large?  It implies the
questions that follow are all about that and they are not.

I don't remember having that header there.  Why don't we change it to
something like "Outcomes from the Discussion at Flock"?

I also believe we should change the headings that follow it to h3 or h4.
 The heading "Tooling Tooling Tooling" should be that same size (h3/4).

Lastly, I believe that the image credit should include that the image
was modified by you.  The current line implies that the original image
contained the words.

What do you think?

i am sending this here because I can no longer access the article or
it's source for edit purposes.

regards,

bex'

The headers were something I added – I interpreted the article as having 
the two major discussion points with "what" the writing would be and 
"how" it would be done. But this may have been confusing in the context 
for the rest of the article.

I have edited the article to reflect all of this feedback in (and also 
modifying the release date for Monday). You can see it all here:

 
https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/?p=2082&preview=1&_ppp=47...

And yeah, the inability to edit pending review posts is a headache we've 
also had on the Magazine… I'm still working on finding a better solution 
for that.

Let me know if these changes look right to you! Alternatively, if you'd 
like to take your own hand at it, I can bump it back down to draft 
status and you should be able to edit again.

Oh, and to answer the question about revisions, I'm not sure if you can 
see this link, but if you can, revisions live here:
