TOC for Command Prompt Survival Guide
by James McElhannon
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Hi All,
I wanted to propose the following TOC for the Command Prompt Survival
Guide, one of the current Doc Ideas...
I would plan on submitting this document to the LDP, too. Their
equivalent doc is aging and is lite on details.
Please let me know your feedback.
- ---
There are 5 chapters shown below, with the sections numbered. The
Concepts chapter sets forth just enough theory to be able to use the
commands below.
The Scenario chapter would put forth some common scenarios that people
would be faced with. The text would describe the usage of a set of
commands to perform a task, cross referenced to the Commonly Used
Commands section.
The Commonly Used Commands would not be a reproduction of the man pages,
but would instead focus on the common usage of the command.
The Tools would section would be brief scripts to make some things
easier. I would expect that the details of this section would arise
during the writing of the rest of the text. Any redundant operations
shown during the Scenarios would be candidates.
Introduction
1. General introduction
Concepts:
1. Shells
2. Executables and Processes
3. stdout, stderr, stdin

I did it!
by Edward Haddock
Aloha,
Pardon the newbie excitement but I have successfully mapped a
half-height external USB Hard Drive as my /home and after copying /home
in FC4 to it then booting into FC5 and mapping /home to it...presto
bango...I am now running FC5 no worries. I did lose a few things in the
transfer but not much. Which is quite an accomplishment for a newbie
like myself. Matter of fact, on a back burner, I may start writing about
this. I think that given the popularity I am seeing it may be wise to
tell people about this kind of thing so that upgrades go easier. Plus it
puts your data on a different partition. Anyone got any advice on what
else should be separated like that?
Mahalo,
Edward

How much detail here is going to be dependent on the target audience.
To determine your target audience, define what knowledge, skills, and
abilities a reader must possess for this guide to be useful.
I think it would be useful for the contributors to discuss the target
audience before filling in too much more detail here. Such a discussion
would probably cut down on effort spent arguing over how much
information to include.

Point to Stuart's yum guide rather than rewriting. We don't want to

Careful here, this is starting to look somewhat repetitive with the
Installation Guide! I would recommend everyone read that cover-to-cover
to familiarize themselves with the content. No reason you can't argue
to move something out of the IG and into the SPG, but again, conserve
energy where possible...

It's all gone to POT: the XML strings, that is.
by Tommy Reynolds
Hello, Translators!
The first stage of reworking (aka "getting it to work the first
time") of the translation toolchain is complete. Time to check it
out, translators!
Before, we tried very hard to keep every &entity; reference intact
within the XML.
The idea was that we could use a single translation of the document
and FDP entities.
The idea was good: be able to change an entity string in a single
place and have all XML references pick up the change.
The idea just didn't work. The translation tools don't work like
that, as far as we understand them.
So, I've made two changes in the way that we use the tools. Firstly,
all translatable strings are now placed in the "po/${DOCBASE}.pot"
file. Previously, we kept the strings from the "${DOC_ENTITIES}.xml"
file in its own .POT file.
If you have any .POT file OTHER than "po/${DOCBASE}.pot", you can
safely delete it. We won't use it any more.
Secondly, entity references are no longer preserved in the
"po/${DOCBASE}.pot" file. This means that ANY entity reference in
the original XML files will be fully-expanded into its replacement
text within the .POT file. Yes, this means that you may have to
make the same change to the same string in several places around the
document, but that is the way it seems to work.
As always, please try it out and post any comments, questions, kudos,
brickbats, or credit card information to this list.
Cheers

Schedule notes
by Paul W. Frields
For FDSCo and Board information:
* I will not be able to make tomorrow's (25 Apr 2006) FDSCo meeting,
since I will be supervising some work for an office relocation which
will keep me late at the office. I'll look for the notes and minutes to
get up to speed.
* At my new office, our new broadband line is not ready, and may not
arrive for some time. In the meantime we will be sharing a pipe with
another group, and their various and poorly-conceived security
regulations may make it impossible (or at least very difficult) for me
to be active online (IRC, etc.) during the day. I'll try to take care
of as much work as I can after hours; your patience is appreciated!

Translation fixes
by Paul W. Frields
I noticed something in our build tools which seems to me a problem: our
POT file only includes the msgstr information for the XMLFILES but does
not include the DOC_ENTITIES. If we can (and should) only have one
$(LANG).po file per language, shouldn't all the XML strings for
translation be in the one POT?

Content for Plone
by Paul W. Frields
Hi all Docsters,
One of the issues which arose in the last Fedora Project Board meeting
was the steady (rising?) number of complaints about how many account
system requirements there are for new contributors. We already know
that having no single sign-on capability makes the process harder than
it needs to be; this is already under discussion, so, since we Docs
folks can't solve that problem, let's talk about the problems we *can*
solve.
* Some new contributors are not familiar with GPG or SSH.
* The account system has a number of steps and an interface that is not
particularly warm and friendly for newcomers.
* The wiki pages speak to the requirements but do not give concrete (and
hopefully foolproof) command line steps for making things Just Work.
* In many cases they link outbound to other pages for what is supposed
to be more information, but which is woefully inadequate.
The fact that we have so many people putting content on the wiki is
*fantastic*, but for canonical docs like "setting up a Fedora account,"
we need simple, step-by-step, procedural guides that don't send people
on a wild goose chase around the wiki. We have a number of people who
have taken time and effort to come to us with offers of help, only to
find that juts getting to the point where they can contribute is an
enormous time sink! This is just unacceptable IMHO, and I hope that you
share this opinion -- especially since we are the folks who should be
making this easy.
As a Board member, I'm coming to the Docs Project to ask for help in
getting content to the new Plone CMS *before* it goes live. The Plone
CMS (refer to http://fpserv.fedoraproject.org/ if you have no idea what
I'm talking about) will, one day Real Soon Now, supplant or overarch the
wiki. We want the launch of the Plone CMS to *lower the barriers* for
folks. We want to get Docs support to identify and push this content
ASAP.
As a member of the Docs Project, I want to get people excited about a
chance for us to kickstart the CMS and get some additional project
visibility. This idea of "lowering barriers" is nothing new for Docs --
it's something we've discussed often in Docs; something we've tried hard
to do with our toolchain, our attitudes, and this very list; and
something we can now exemplify in the community. I think it will also
energize some of our newcomers and hopefully bring in other fresh faces
(and hands).
1. Who wants to take on the Account Setup Guide? Keep in mind you
won't have to do an awful lot of writing; it's mostly just collecting
written bits from the wiki, expanding them where needed, and making sure
everything flows nicely for an absolute newcomer.
2. How can we make our toolchain do the majority of the work for the
CMS, like publishing and such? This is a more subtle question that
probably needs some batting around, and will require coordination with
Websites. Seth Vidal and I will help connect these dots, but folks here
are intimate with our toolchain and we should be prepared to come to the
table with some answers.
3. It might be a good idea for us to start thinking about what docs
content is "faster-evolving" than we can or should keep up with in CVS.
Enough of my yakkin'. Whaddaya say? Let's boogie.
Input, please, and remember to use long descriptive sentences where
possible for those of us who are new at this game! That's speaking not
just for newcomers, but for myself as well, a Bear of Very Little
Brain. :-) The foregoing is a brain dump from about midnight last
night, and I was fading fast, so if you see something scatterbrained,
please point it out in the interest of generating more sane discussion.
