DuG
by Marc Wiriadisastra 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

Hey all, I've added a few more stuff to edit ready and I'm hoping someone will take a look at the remaining stuff for KDE. I'm also going to add KOffice I'm not to sure if it's the default install or not but I believe it is used enough to be added. Thoughts? Cheers, Marc

one summary to rule them all
by Karsten Wade 29 Jan '08

29 Jan '08

We've struggled for the last several releases with multiple release summaries and overviews, keeping them in sync, and so forth. Last release, Paul and I swore we would find a way to provide a single, canonical source for *all* of these. Today I noticed yet another release summary in the wild that needs taming, inclusion, or something: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Policy#Enhancements A release summary is referred to there that can be added to by anyone. *sigh* Do we want to invite those people to instead add their enhancements to canonical summary? Then cross-link back in to that namespace? We can use clever [[Include()]] statements that draw only specific parts, so each 'mirror' of the canonical summary can show the most appropriate fragment. Anyone interested in doing this work? It involves: * Working out a single canonical location from amongst the several - Releases/#/ReleaseSummary - Docs/Beats/OverView - Press release needs (more lightweight) - etc. * Define a format for that page so that it can be fragmented (if needed) for different summaries * Write up a process for jamming all that together * Publicize/evangelize - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Developer Community Mgr.

AG - DUG Tentative Schedule
by Bart Couvreur 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Hi all, Just a basic schedule proposal to set some dates for both AG and DUG If this is good, we can add it to our master schedule [1] * now - 15 Feb: writing, shifting content, ... * 15 Feb: Basic deadline for guide writing, content should be edit-ready, and in the correct order * 16 - 22 Feb: Editorial pass on the wiki (to keep edits in wikik-rawhide too) * ?? 23: Wiki2XML tutorial day (might be a good idea) * 23 - 29 Feb: Wiki-to-DocBook conversion * 1 March: Launch of both guides (English version) + send off POT-files to L10N Comments?

GRUB
by Karl Larsen 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

I am looking for a user paper that explains how grub works and how you set it up with the Rescue DVD and such. I see nothing and guys on the Fedora List know nothing. Karl -- Karl F. Larsen, AKA K5DI Linux User #450462 http://counter.li.org. PGP 4208 4D6E 595F 22B9 FF1C ECB6 4A3C 2C54 FE23 53A7

DUG + AdminGuide release, update
by Vladimir Kosovac 26 Jan '08

26 Jan '08

List, few of us had a meeting over on irc and have agreed on a few things: 1] DUG looks good[1] (GNOME) 2] DUG (KDE) almost as good - may need some attention depending on what KDE release goes in F9 3] New placeholder for AG conversion is https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/AGBeta However, listed pages are still edited in their 'old' location: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/AdministrationGuide/$section As agreed, I have cleaned the AG of stuff that will not be included. Pages that had content are now in Docs/Drafts and the references to those that were empty are removed. The core group of 3-4 people have committed to early March completion of the AG, more hands on deck are more than welcome. [1] - ready for wordsmithing / format fixing Vladimir

Hey all, Same as the Office one massive changes additional icons etc included. I felt there was a lot of text with minimal pictures so I added some pictures that do not require translation. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/DesktopUserGuide/Multimedia Thoughts? Cheers, Marc
