Adam Moreland City: Northampton, UNITED KINGDOM, GMT Profession: BA Media Studies (Hons) Student, University of Northampton | Freelance Journalist and Sub-Editor Affiliations: The University of Northampton, UK | Registered Linux User #417406 Goals: I have done much writing and editing and have had over 50 articles published in mostly hard copy magazines. I am highly interested in writing about Fedora and also programming, and games, and Wireless Internet. I have specific knowledge on the installs on stand alone machines. I am willing to write whatever is needed to help out. Id like to see more documentation on installs, setting up wireless, and other subjects, and id also like to see the accuracy of these documents remain very, very high, both in spelling and in grammar. I have an ambition to help out as much as i can. I love Linux and want to spread the word about how great Linux is, at the same time as making it more accessible to the general public. Part of the problems lie in the complex nature of Linux and the huge number of separate resources needed to solve problems. Id like to see these issues resolved and brought closer together so that the resources can be found in one specific location, the Linux Documentation Project. I want to see as many come over from Microsoft as is possible to increase the numbers of users on Linux accessing great open source applications. Qualifications: 10 GCSE's - Notable A+ Information and Communications Technology, A - English 2 A/S Levels 3 A-Levels, inc Computing and English Literature (B) BA (Hons) Media Studies student (Start final year Sept 06) 14 years computer experience in building, repairing, upgrading PC's. Moved into VB programming 7 years ago, moved onto C++, and am self teaching game programming, and Perl and PHP. Started playing with Linux distros last year, and work with Fedora Core 5. I have also started becoming highly active on FedoraForum.org, and am looking to start Software testing for future OS's and Editing for Fedora Documentation Project. Due to my long experience as a freelance journalist and sub-editor i feel like i can bring much to the project. I have a love for Fedora, Linux and for the writing process. I enjoy all the aspects of working with Linux. I have lots of qualification and experience with Media, and Journalism (Did my first year on Journalism). My long experience with Operating Systems and Hardware, i have a technical knowledge that will enhance the documentation further.

Translations for European Portuguese
by Hugo Cisneiros 25 May '06

25 May '06

Hi, Jose Nuno, I see you are commiting many changes to "pt.po" files for various guides in the CVS. Can you confirm that they're fully translated and working? If they are, I'll begin pushing it to the official page. The perfect would be to someone translate the guide, and other review it. Thanks! -- []'s Eitch http://www.devin.com.br/eitch/ "Talk is cheap.

Bart Couvreur City: Lochristi, Belgium (GMT + 1) Student: Bachelor in Industrial Sciences (Industrial Engineer) at KAHO Sint Lieven, Ghent Goals with FDP: --------------- I'd like to start translating the docs to Dutch (especially the relnotes), because as far as I can see, this hasn't started yet and because of a lot of questions coming my way from friends about the reason why there isn't any official Dutch documentation on the Fedora sites. Qualifications: --------------- Current Fedora Projects I'm in: -> Translation (Dutch) -> Kadischi 15 years of computer experience, starting with dos, windows later on Linux (now almost 6 years, Fedora since FC2).

Section II. B. 1 2 and 3 of Documentation Guide V2
by Edward Haddock 19 May '06

19 May '06

Aloha all, I have the aforementioned pieces done. It is mostly links to some other pages and could be combined at some point. Please find it copied into this email following. Hopefully this helps. Mahalo, Edward ===== 1.) The first step in joining the Fedora Documentation Project is to join the community and engage in the discussion. Subscribe to the fedora-docs-list, fedora-dsco-list and fedora-announce-list to keep up to date and informed about the project and Fedora in general. The links can be found at https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list, http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list and https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-dsco-list. After visiting the pages and filling in the needed information an automated email message will be sent. Choose to follow the link or respond to the email as outlined in the instructions contained in the emails. Please note that to be part of the Fedora Documentation Project you have to join the fedora-docs-list. 2.) Next, ensure that the proper tool chain is installed. The first tools that should be installed are Yum and/or up2date. These Software Management Utilities will ensure that all software packages are current and aid in installing those not already installed. Both are installed by default on Fedora Core 5 but this can be checked using rpm. [edward@edward ~]$ rpm -qa up2date up2date-4.4.23-4 [edward@edward ~]$ rpm -qa yum yum-2.4.1-1.fc Either package will work for managing software packages. After that, setup Privacy Guard Software and utilities to manage the GPG keys. Use GPG to identify yourself and authenticate your communications, even with people you don't know. GPG allows anyone reading a GPG-signed email to verify its authorship. In other words, GPG allows someone to be reasonably certain that communications signed by you actually come from you. GPG is useful because it helps prevent mischievous third parties from polluting code or conversations by masquerading as other entities. To participate in any part of the Fedora Project, - you should have a GPG key pair, and - your public key must be available on pgp.mit.edu, a well-known public keyserver. Some Privacy Guard Software and Management Utilities include: I.) GnuPG http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cryptography has a wonderful explanation on how to install openssh and GnuPG. II.) Seahorse Seahorse is a GUI utility to manage keys. Go to http://seahorse.sourceforge.net/ for information on installing and using this utility. III.) KGpg KGpg is the KDE GPG key manager and can be installed via yum if not already installed. Information and instructions can be found at http://developer.kde.org/~kgpg/ An editor also needs to be installed to work with documents. Vi, Emacs and OpenOffice.org Writer will all work and it is mostly a matter of preference. Last but certainly not least, see if a few handy utilities to process documents are installed. CVS, xmlto and/or the Docbook files to work with the Wiki are all useful and necessary. 3.) After GnuPG is installed go to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/CreatingKeys and follow the instructions there to generate a GPG key pair. For additional information the Legacy site http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legacy/PGPHowTo has a lot of good information on key pair generation and use as well. Then setup your email program to work with GnuPG so that signing and verification of emails is possible. Instructions for each can be found as follows: I.) Evolution A helpful page is located at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/WithEvolution II.) Thunderbird Has help located here, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/WithThunderbird III.) Kmail Located here http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/WithKmail is still a work in progress and IV.) Pine Located here http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/WithKmail is also a work in progress. ===

These should not be added to the repository! Translations are to be added as po/${LANG}.po files only -- which generates the XML document. The *.ent files are generated at build time, from the local document entities (like doc-entities.xml), or linked from other places (in the case of fdp-entities.ent). The fdp-info.xml file is generated from the main rpm-info.xml file. Make sure your po/pt_BR.po file is correct, then remove the pt_BR/ folder and its contents from the repository please. No judgments here -- we realize the Documentation Guide is far out of date. Please feel free to ask questions before you commit. -- Paul W.

new development layout (was [Fwd: [fab] Where to send information?])
by Karsten Wade 17 May '06

17 May '06

Anyone interested in helping document the changes here? See below for details. Jesse is requesting (from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/NewDevelopmentLayout) "Documentation regarding Development/Rawhide updated" I think this is going to require a search of the Wiki and the old Developer's Guide: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/developers-guide/ Eitch -- are you interested? There is a large part of this doc work that is for/about mirrors. As for the Developer's Guide ... yeek! It's only three years since it's been updated, right? I'm sure it mustn't need anything ... This guide is orphaned. I wonder if we should remove it all together ... - Karsten -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Jesse Keating <jkeating(a)redhat.com> I'm changing the layout of Development. I'd like to inform the appropriate folks, and I think this is a good place to catch the various project leaders. Info is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/NewDevelopmentLayout I've already brought this up with mirror-list-d, the discussion list for our public mirroring system. More people need to know about it now. Other than you folks, where do you think I should post information regarding this? _______________________________________________ fedora-advisory-board mailing list fedora-advisory-board(a)redhat.com http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-advisory-board -- Karsten Wade, RHCE * Sr. Editor * http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41 Fedora Documentation Project http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject Learn.
