If you haven't updated the Guide Table[1] lately, please take a look at it and see if you can provide any updates.
I'd also like to clean up the Fedora Documentation product in BZ. Currently there are the following components:
* about-fedora - General project information for main menu. * readme-burning-isos - README for burning ISO images, included at mirrors. * readme-live-image - README for inclusion in Live ISO spins * readme - README file for inclusion in ISO spins
I've got versions of the above four documents converted to build in Publican, as well as:
- Homepage (we need to make a decision about whether to even keep this --
I strongly suggest killing it since it serves no useful purpose, and only potentially serves to confuse users)
- Accessibility (which appears to be seriously out-of-date. I've updated
a number of URLs, but I have no idea whether this document actually reflects the current state of accessibility tools in Fedora)
Pretty sure it doesn't reflect the current state.
I really don't think that any of these should be packaged with the Release Notes as they have been in the past.
There may be some requirement for an accessibility statement, but I'm not sure that really applies to Fedora; it may in fact be a holdover from the Red Hat Linux days that's simply stayed around like a weed. May be worth checking with Fedora Legal on the fedora-legal-list?
I haven't checked any of these into the repo; the Publicanized versions will need attention from L10N, and I don't want to touch that until Transifex gets updated to version 0.6.
Finally , I plan to produce a "Quick Start" Installation Guide for F12 to cover the "path of least resistance" for somebody to download Fedora and get it installed on a typical PC. This would be the Guide for a user who doesn't need the full documentation of the installation process and all its options that the IG offers. Some of this Guide will necessary overlap somewhat with "readme-burning-isos" and possibly make that smaller doc redundant.
Superb! Maybe you can use some common content as snippets in the Quick Start? Your call.
