wiki tagging style
by Karsten Wade 02 Feb '06

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? ------------------------- -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Tech Writer * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Content Services Fedora Documentation Project http://www.redhat.com/docs http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject

I introduce myself

02 Feb '06

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 Francesco Ugolini

Feedback request

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 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.
