Gnome and KDE
by Jason
Last night in IRC it came up about documenting both KDE and Gnome
walk-throughs when writing docs. This is sort of aimed at John and his
group working on KDE stuff already, do you want KDE docs written
separate? For example would it be OK to include a menu walk-through for
both Gnome and KDE when writing an independent doc (e.g. not
attached/related to the DUG)? My thought is that a single doc that
includes all the relevant instructions for a particular task would be
good. However, if the larger idea is to have 2 separate doc trees (i.e.
Gnome and KDE) then this would not be a good idea.

cvsdocs requests
by Karsten Wade
Couple of quick points/questions about requests to join the 'cvsdocs'
group.
* Is there an outdated set of instructions somewhere that tell
translators they need to request 'cvsdocs' access?
- That used to be true but is no longer needed (since the creation of
'cvsl10n'.)
* I personally don't receive email about requests for 'cvsdocs'. It
seems the 'Administrator' role doesn't get those, by design. Is anyone
else getting these alerts?
- The folks who are 'Sponsors' should be getting those
thx - Karsten

Unleash the flying monkeys!
I'll see about getting a Rawhide instance going in the next few weeks
for testing. Hereby letting all others interested in quality PDF
production from DocBook, here's a way to lend a hand - test the new FOP
build.

Request to withdraw outdated tqsg translated version
by Noriko Mizumoto
Hi Paul and docs team
As you already noticed, we translators aggressively have started
translation of TQSG. However there are several languages which have not
been yet completed their update. For example, clicking 'Japanese'
results showing old version, but new translator may not know that it is old.
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/translation-quick-start-guide/
So could you kindly withdraw old version from the above tentatively till
fully updated translation is committed?
Thanks

The Great Content Migration
by Mike McGrath
(sent to both docs and websites, though not cross posted)
Now that F8 shipped and F9 is on the horizon, its time to look at moving
some more of that content out of the wiki and either into
docs.fedoraproject.org and fedoraproject.org. This won't be a fun task.
Pros:
1) We'll have more control and process around the content that goes to
these sites. This allows us to make it more 'official'.
2) It will be more easily translatable.
3) Less reliance on Moin
Cons:
1) It raises the barrier to create these pages
2) It adds more process
3) Its difficult to determine what content belongs where.
I've created an initial
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/Removables page for stuff thats
in the wiki that is a good candidate for the static content. The trick
here is that, and lets be honest, much of what is on the wiki right now
is garbage. This is especially true with regards to our end users. I
think focus on fp.o should be on consolidation. Users have short
attention spans, so less is more. If we find the need to have a
higher-detail document, it should probably be in the docs realm and use
its processes.
What do you guys think?

admin guide dns and bind
by Murray McAllister
Hi Everyone,
I have 'completed' the DNS and BIND section. I have not read over what
I have done, planning to do that Saturday morning since I am a day
ahead of every ne else.
The structure is terrible...maybe someone else will fix that ;).
Maybe this section could be left out, I have only detailed how to
setup and configure when compiling bind from source. I tried a 'yum
install bind' this morning and couldn't even find where it put
named.conf...so I figured I did not have enough time to learn all over
again before saturday.
Also, what is the policy on linking to external websites? I have a few
links to other sites, such as http://www.zytrax.com/books/dns ...
these sites may not be around as long as the guide though.
I have included a "references and thanks" section at the end. These
were the books and resources I used when I wrote the original paper
that I used for this guide, however that knowledge is now common to me
- so are the links needed? I don't think there should be a list like
this in an admin guide anyway...but I don't want to take credit for
someone elses work. If it shouldn't be there (I'm not sure it needs to
be since it is common knowledge to me now).
Thanks for any help or suggestions.
Kind Regards,
Murray.
