wiki tagging style
by Karsten Wade
I've working over this file:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WikiEditing
In particular this section and the surrounding sections:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WikiEditing#Marking_Technical_Terms
I'm trying to get the same formatting used across the Docs/Beats,
because those are now canonical and need to output XML that follows the
same styling conventions.
Here is what I did and what I am wondering about, I'm curious for
comments:
-------------------------
1. Made the technical markup into a table by term. Did some changes:
- Applications are now '''boldface'''
- Added {{{inline command}}} and {{{daemon}}}
- Added ''first term'' and ''glossary term''
Thoughts?
-------------------------
2. I don't like the table hack for the admonitions. I mean, I like it
visually, but that is a problem we need to solve in the stylesheets.
Can we? Otherwise, it doesn't translate to XML that well.
OTOH, I like the look of a '''Bold title for the admonition''', like
this:
{i} '''Interesting information is available informally'''
With a paragraph like this that contains real content to back up the
informative title line.
We could look into making the stylesheets deliver, "Boldface the entire
line associated with the admonition icon."
Otherwise, I propose that we use my example {i} from above. However, I
put in changes to support _just_ the boldface and second paragraph,
which actually now matches the existing sample icons. The pipes are
therefore up for discussion, unless you all hate the boldface and second
paragraph stuff. :)
When the paragraph and the admonition are jammed together, the
admonition feels crowded to me. The title needs to be informative and
summarizing.
Thoughts?

I introduce myself
by Francesco Ugolini
My name is Francesco Ugolini, i'm an Italian Fedora Ambassador (on
probing) and i have decided to help the Fedora Community to export
the power of this system everywhere.
I've seen that many documents are only in english so my first task
were to traduce the FC4 install guide in italian. This is the reason
i've joined to this group to talk about my progress and to be
connected with other translator.
Currently i've traduced the begginig, first chapter (in .txt format
not in xml, but i'm working on) and the chapter 7 (in .xml).
See ya

It's been suggested that a good beginner task for me would be to
proofread and edit the FAQ and related pages
(http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ). I am happy to take that on.
I've read the pages about writing using the wiki and wiki editing. It's
left me with the impression that perhaps the FAQ should be broken into
pages instead of being one long page.
What do people think of this potential change? Is there a standard way
to lay out a multi-page FAQ? I am imagining that the table of contents
would be one page. Each of the six main topics would also become a page.
I have some business travel coming up that probably will keep me from
doing any editing until the weekend. I would very much appreciate
people's comments and advice in the meantime.
Thanks,
Debbie

Just to be clear, where exactly do you see this file being put?
* In the directory with the ISOs, mirrored to every download site?
Uh ... I guess that's the only sensible answer. Everything else would
put it somewhere that you'd have to burn or mount the ISOs to see.
