README for official ISO spins
by Paul W. Frields
The Fedora Documentation Project would like an updated README on the
official ISO spin for F8. Currently, we are using the updated version
of the same README that dates back to at least Red Hat Linux 5.2,
according to one prominent engineering guru.
This would be a good effort for Marketing, and to make sure we cover the
bases, I've left a short outline on a wiki page for drafting. This page
is editable by anyone and we can set a deadline of 10 days for content,
which we would like to get into the test3 spin if at all possible.
If you'd like to be involved, visit this wiki page and follow the
outline:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/README
If you see something missing, please feel free to add it. The Docs
Project volunteers will edit for grammar and usage, although good
grammar and usage is always appreciated. :-)

New release-notes component
by Paul W. Frields
Over the next day or so I would like to add a new module, "readme-live,"
to our CVS, to be included in the fedora-release-notes collection. This
file will be included on live spins so anyone who receives one will have
some clues what to do with it. The document was generously drafted by
Nelson Strother, by the way; I will do an editorial pass on it in CVS
and do the necessary Makefile-cobbling to get it included.
Followups, questions, and concerns to the fedora-docs-list are
appreciated and happily addressed! :-)

My Fedora Wikiname
by Sam Chen
Hi, Yuan Yijun,
My Fedora Wikiname is ShenenChen. I generated gpg several days ago
using FC4, and I forgot to attached it to self-introduction letter. Two
days ago, I switched from FC4 to FC6. I have not formatted the FC4
partition yet, so I might be able to recover the the gpgkey. However,
since I am new to gpg, it will take me some time before I can recover
it and migrate it to FC6.
Thanks for reminding me of getting a Fedora Wikiname.
Best Regards,
Sam

apologies for missing today
by Karsten Wade
Sorry folks for missing the meeting today. I am in training this week
and was supposed to be here in class in time to at least tell you all if
I was going to be in the meeting or not. Unfortunately, traffic did not
oblige, I was late, and didn't get connectivity until many hours later.
Better luck next time!

Excellent blog entry on documentation
by John Babich
I think a lot of us in the Fedora Docs Project can agree with the
views expressed in Tom Adelson's blog at
http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/1000273
Here's an excerpt:
"The Open Source community has so many developers, I find it
remarkable. But, projects where 98% of the volunteers develop leaves a
wide gap in documentation. You can have all the wikis you want, but if
people don't write in them, edit them, publish security problems and
instructions for installing and using applications, then those wikis
are useless."
The whole entry is worth reading, not as negative criticism, but as
food for thought..

My goals in the Fedora Project are to help translate useful documents

biochemist. So far I have a paper in bioorganic and medicinal chemistry

computer life with microsoft windows 3.1 many years ago. I like and
used to microsoft windows until five or six years ago, in a research

learned how to install, configure and administer unix-like systems.
What other skills do you have that might be applicable? User interface
design, other so-called soft skills (people skills), programming, etc.
What makes you an excellent match for the project? I use unix-like

Looking for writing partner to take care of asthetics.
by Draciron Smith
Figure this is worth a try. I am expending more time on formating than
content right now. I am hoping that somebody here would be interested
in teaming up with me and covering the formating allowing me to
concentrate on content. This would be ideal for somebody who is not
very technical but would like to contribute to the effort. I was
never especially good at making things look purty :)
If you are interested email me and I'll put you to work ASAP.
