Wiki starting points? Drafts...
by Francis Earl 03 May '07

03 May '07

I'm looking for somewhere to get started on the wiki, and I'm not sure where to proceed? This lead me to the Drafts wiki page, am I free to edit these pages as I see fit? What is the etiquette here? Just looking briefly at the "Getting Started" page, I believe a few improvements could be made. It's overtone is very professional, which is intimidating. I also think things like Graphic User Interface and Window Manager should provide links to wikipedia so the user can learn more about the topic if they wish. Wikipedia is provided in the Free Content bookmarks folder in Fedora 7t4, so I don't think that would be an issue? I think the wiki is the wrong place to try and explain such things though. Also, I don't see a way to upload images? There is a saying "a picture tells a thousand words", and I believe it's true. I don't even see a way to add images though? Screenshots (of a particular section of relevance on the desktop) would greatly clarify what things say, and provide an air of confidence for the user "I must be doing it right, it looks the same". Just some thoughts...

[Fwd: Re: Homepage link for sr relnotes]

I hope there is enough time before the freeze > to push this correction through? That's a funny typo, probably a "search and replace" mistake. It is fixed in CVS. We also have a few extra days because the freeze got moved until after the Core+Extras package merge happening today, so there is no doubt this fixed in time for the release.

Small about-fedora change
by Paul W. Frields 01 May '07

01 May '07

I made one more very small change in about-fedora -- our RSS feed aggregator should be called "Planet Fedora" to match the rest of our web sites and documents. Sorry about the extra string. The statistics are looking GREAT -- you guys are amazing! -- Paul W.

DTDs soon available via PUBLIC URI
by Paul W. Frields 01 May '07

01 May '07

We use two specialty DTDs in the Docs Project, "rpm-info.dtd" and "entities.dtd". Using SGML, these DTDs define the elements and attributes allowed in an XML file which subscribes to them. When you declare a document type using an XML DTD, you must provide a URI for that DTD, either using the SYSTEM or PUBLIC type. A SYSTEM type declaration is always a file local to your system, and that's the kind we've made use of for our "rpm-info" and "entities" specialty files in the Docs Project. A typical DTD in one of our "rpm-info.xml" files might look like this: <!DOCTYPE rpm-info SYSTEM "../../docs-common/packaging/rpm-info.dtd"> But what happens when docs-common is located somewhere different on another contributor's system? This can now happen since we have different module targets for CVS, such as "release-notes" or "release-notes-devel" or "release-notes-devel-dir". Enter the PUBLIC type declaration. The PUBLIC type is used for a DTD that's available, well, publicly. :-) Things like DocBook XML use PUBLIC DTDs because you can find the DTD on the web in several locations, including: http://www.docbook.org/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.4/docbookx.dtd A PUBLIC DTD always has a "formal public identifier" (FPI) that sets that DTD apart from all others, but allows the same DTD to be published in many different places without any confusion. For instance, the DocBook XML 4.4 is always: "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML 4.4//EN" ...no matter whether it's published at www.docbook.org, www.oasis-open.org, or available locally on your Fedora system in your /usr/share/sgml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.4-1.0-30.1/ folder. It's perfectly permissible to make your own FPIs as long as you don't use another DTD's FPI. (And of course you should play nice and not make it hard for people to tell it's yours.) I've recently made the following FPIs for our rpm-info and entities DTD files: "-//Fedora//DTD Docs RPM-INFO V1.0//EN" "-//Fedora//DTD Docs ENTITIES V1.0//EN" I'm also publishing them at the following URLs, respectively: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/dtds/rpm-info.dtd http://docs.fedoraproject.org/dtds/entities.dtd This means that all our rpm-info and entities documents can start using those URIs to avoid pesky validation errors when your docs-common/ directory ends up in a different place than it was when the rpm-info or entities XML was first written. If you have an XML-aware editor that's net-savvy, it will automatically retrieve the DTD over the network and validate using it. -- Paul W.
