Join Page

I did some editing on the Join Page[1] and stripped the following: * Reference to downloading the client-side SSL cert from FAS, which I think is now exclusively used by packagers. (I may be wrong, feel free to correct me) * Reference to creating a SSH key. Creating an SSH key, while important for docs-writers, isn't a requirement for docs, and something that could likely be handled easier with some hand holding rather than being listed as a requirement before getting to put your toes in the water. Additionally - I'd like to solicity input on removing d-c-l from the requirements list. d-c-l has a ton of traffic near release (I've had days where I've generated 400+ messages to d-c-l, and John has had days that make mine pale by comparison.) I fear that the unsuspecting new contributor will be overwhelmed with messages, and feel overwhelmed by joining. Anyone think that this should be abolished, or should we just add an admon?? Thanks David Nalley [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Joining_the_Docs_Project#Signing_Up

Re: "Fedora Core" heading on the left hand side docs.fp.o landing page?
by Christopher Antila 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

Hello: I have to agree with Justin's sentiments here, and would like to suggest a more marked change to the sidebar. It's less easy to implement then just changing to "Fedora Core (obsolete)", but it might make it easier for users to find what they want. It would definitely help to make clear what versions of Fedora are still officially supported. The sidebar could look something like this (titles are just tentative): Officially-Supported Fedora Versions |- Fedora 13 -- Fedora 12 Obsolete Fedora Versions |- Fedora 11 |- Fedora 10 ... |- Fedora Core 2 -- Fedora Core 1 Contributed Documentation (same as now) Draft Documentation (same as now) Also, the version numbers are somewhat difficult for me to read, because of their size and colour. Including the word/s "Fedora" or "Fedora Core" in front of the numbers might also help users to visually recognize the numbers as important. Overall, the new site seems like a huge improvement on the old one. As the number of documents grows, the ability to see everything at a glance is going to be more and more important.

CMS
by Eric Christensen 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Last year we were working on getting Zikula packaged and stood up as the CMS solution for the Docs Project. Fast forward to today and we still don't have Zikula up but we do have Publican handling the public front-end for us. So do we still need to work towards getting Zikula up and running or should we be working to get the kinks worked out of Publican? What do we loose by staying with Publican? What do we gain? What feedback have you received about the Publican front-end? - --Eric -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.14 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJMB+nBAAoJEDbiLlqcYamxRo0QAJS2owSS0oVY3Nwty3NzZwXo 4kPeOa6dkg6v4e4NoY2YEu5e1K0CTHx4aSfHWaG56zkrGn2K/PpraIBZuadHbWBB jq8xpLt4ZXuH8H5+6nl+4gn7ajrTyRyZ2KfouYPRPm7rrp8EaHLcYdKcgOhoUTyI /DQfvECgff/5e4dnMvwtGDA56Np+36gXtRyh9GPBc1GELoaE4tTKq+GhRHOa/4gR /klz6YMtuUbVtdGhSCXWbx5AKHVSoo9tOmOB3SW505jrn8AEGz6HEu0i4qPanY/q FM9XRx+4FBS/u8RpoPSgpRFX/klEwQ9OtmGt25Fb0YgHo6lE9oZLczpZEJYCZbgg vVrOf/7lXBRrqdQ+eDdz5PRkWg9uKIyEi/NhoB3G3u/u+XzRUlpOr32m0PJSOZXU 4yOJM4CMF9ChON3Bg2kSUnhOmbGyXKCb18RQdV9qZaJLhIyeYzGu/tq8a5yMAOmP Ec0PW0GrDaULBCjUPytagtiadkn2BR1TFBqp2V14orLmM6jbJfVVI+GvYtlp6N89 a9ZnHtn4JK7fn1fy8kWjj97+PKLGUB/XvRlkGsDbO1vipdzhdo2WA9hcjZO71c1F XWSSeG4SExhGBAASogjhcJxQzv7BxvC4XyCN5U3+OOEHvfRjRFjQVlMoWALZZccT q1EDr4licZACMCsFVikv =aPn6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

"Fedora Core" heading on the left hand side docs.fp.o landing page?
by Justin Clift 07 Jun '10

07 Jun '10

Hi all, The recent weekly meeting of fedora docs mentioned some people are not aware of "Fedora Core" being the outdated/previous series of Fedora releases. http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2010-06-02/fedora_docs.2010… To assist with the effort to educate around this, would it be feasible to rename the "Fedora Core" heading on the docs.fp.o site to be "Fedora Core (obselete)" ? Thinking it may be technically easy, with few (any?) bad consequences, but also helps make things clear for people who aren't sure. Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- Salasaga - Open Source eLearning IDE http://www.salasaga.org

IMPORTANT: docs project git repo moving and renaming
by Nick Bebout 06 Jun '10

06 Jun '10

The following git repos will be moving sometime Sunday evening. Please update your .git/config files with the new paths. For example, where it says: [remote "origin"] fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/* url = ssh://nb@git.fedorahosted.org/git/accessibility-guide.git Change url to url = ssh://nb@git.fedorahosted.org/git/docs/accessibility-guide.git The following git repos will be moving --------------------------------------- accessibility-guide.git docs/accessibility-guide.git amateur-radio-guide.git docs/amateur-radio-guide.git docs-tools.git docs/tools.git docsite-publican.git docs/docsite-publican.git documentation-guide.git docs/documentation-guide.git fedora-doc-utils.git docs/utils.git installation-quick-start-guide.git docs/installation-quick-start-guide.git jargon-buster.git docs/jargon-buster.git respin-guide.git docs/respin-guide.git rpmguide.git docs/rpm-guide.git translation-quick-start-guide.git docs/translation-quick-start-guide.git Virtualization_Guide.git docs/virtualization-guide.git These will remain in the current location ----------------------------------------- docs/about-fedora.git docs/deployment-guide.git docs/elections-guide.git docs/homepage.git docs/install-guide.git docs/musicians-guide.git docs/readme-burning-isos.git docs/readme.git docs/readme-live-image.git docs/release-notes.git docs/technical-notes.git docs/user-guide.git docs/web.git (docs-publisher group is required) Also, please do not add nor approve anyone to the git* groups anymore, please only use docs, docs-writers, and docs-publishers. docs is a tracking group for all docs project contributors, docs-writers will grant commit access to anything except docs/web.git, and docs-publishers will grant commit access to docs/web.git. Thank you, Nick -- Nick Bebout Fedora Project Packager/Sysadmin/Webmaster nb(a)fedoraproject.org

New guide git repo creation
by Nick Bebout 06 Jun '10

06 Jun '10

FYI, If you file a hosting request, please remember to mention in the ticket that it goes under /git/docs/ and that the commit repo is docs-writers (that no new group creation is necessary). Also, feel free to assign it directly to me, nb, if you would like. -- Nick Bebout Fedora Project Packager/Sysadmin/Webmaster nb(a)fedoraproject.org
