Just a reminder that today is the first day of the new meeting time that hopefully gets more contributors. Don't forget! A bunch of the Docs contributors are busy in their other life activities, that is what happens, everyone just keep your heads up, and don't forget to check the schedule. http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-11/f-11-docs-tasks.html I should be at the meeting today; I'm scheduled to hit the road right afterward (driving South for http://CUE2009.org.) - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41

Status of Administration Guide
by Susan Lauber 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Concerning the status of Administration Guide. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/AGBeta It sits in a Draft subdir with a drafts admon I already archived an older draft that references this draft. It has no owner that I am aware of. It is not clear what version of Fedora it references (I only gave a very quick look at the first page) but it is doubtful that it is the current so at least some updates would be needed even though much of it is version independent. And.... <quaid> and there is no plan for how it dovetails in to the 'Linux Deployment Guide' content that has been slowly opening from within Red Hat. <quaid> so I'm unclear on that one; perhaps a list discussion to see what people want to do on the adminside? Discuss. Specifically: Do I rename with Archive: or the new and improved mediawiki naming scheme? Thanks, -Susan -- Susan Lauber, (RHCX, RHCA, RHCSS) Lauber System Solutions, Inc. http://www.laubersolutions.com gpg: 15AC F794 A3D9 64D1 D9CE 4C26 EFC3 11C2 BFA1 0974

wiki to xml
by Pascal 04 Mar '09

04 Mar '09

Hi all, I was wondering how do you get mediawiki content into xml. Is it an home made script ? Simple ? A sophisticated and a heavy process ? I didn't found any detailed information about it on the fedoraproject website. I am making some latex/pdfs files from mediawiki content of fedora-fr.org with an ugly php script and I think it's time to think to something more efficient. So any advices are welcome :) I already have a look to the wiki2xml extension[1], which can be a possibility. Regards, Pascal [1] http://toolserver.org/~magnus/wiki2xml/w2x.php
