Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: docs-requests AssignedTo: eric(a)christensenplace.us ReportedBy: nathan.thomas(a)peacenik.co.uk QAContact: fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com CC: stickster(a)gmail.com, kwade(a)redhat.com, nb(a)fedoraproject.org Classification: Fedora Description of problem: We have a large variety of documentation guides serving a wide range of different users. It may be difficult for users arriving at docs.fp.o to know where to start, especially if they are new to Fedora/Linux and are unfamiliar with some of the technical terms. A note on the landing page suggesting a sensible starting point for new users could help alleviate this problem. Eg: "New to Fedora? You can try Fedora on your PC without touching your existing installation by following the Live Image Guide." The end of the Live Image guide helpfully points users to the Installation guide if they want to install :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.

I have found (see reference) that restore the root ("/") is not as simple as as just executing the restore command when running in rescue mode. With the current emphasis being place on use of UUIDs in both Fedora and RHEL, the whole business of UUIDs need to be better documented.

[Bug 595695] New: Direct links to RNs broken.

Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug. Summary: Direct links to RNs broken. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=595695 Summary: Direct links to RNs broken. Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: docs-requests AssignedTo: eric(a)christensenplace.us ReportedBy: eric(a)christensenplace.us QAContact: fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com CC: stickster(a)gmail.com, kwade(a)redhat.com Classification: Fedora Description of problem: * Previously, the release notes were located at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ * Their location has changed to release specific URLs. * A link to the release notes is provided in fedora-bookmarks. * fedora-bookmarks are imported by the browser only on *first launch* so as to not overwrite user modifications. The new bookmarks layout causes two problems: 1. Nobody filed a fedora-bookmarks bug so Fedora 13 (and anyone on F-11 or F-12 etc) will default to going to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ which is a 404. Since the bookmarks can only be imported on first launch, we cannot push an update to fix this if the user has launched the browser (which is extremely likely). 2. Even if I were to fix the bookmarks page to point directly to a specific release version (which again would take effect only if someone would yum update before launching Firefox), then if anyone updated to F-14, the bookmark would not change and would still point to e.g. F-13. So, I do not think that we should put version specific information into our bookmarks URLs. To solve both of the above problems, I believe we should try to do some User-Agent detection and redirection. Fedora browsers have an RPM NVR attached to them. For example: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; es-ES; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100517 Fedora/3.6.4-1.fc13 Firefox/3.6.4 This tells us that the user's installed language is es-ES and it's a Fedora browser, specifically running F-13. We should then redirect queries to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/es-ES/Fedora/13/html/Release_Notes/index.html If we cannot figure any information out about the Fedora release or language (or there are no relnotes in that language), I propose the default redirect should be to the en-US version of the latest Fedora release notes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.

Re: Docs Workflow
by Christopher Antila 27 Aug '10

27 Aug '10

Hello: Like much of the Fedora wiki, this page is most useful if you already know what's on it. I tried looking here when I was preparing my proposal for Summer Coding, and it didn't help at all. Now that I jumped in at the deep end, I recognize that there is a lot of important information on this page. How about... --> renaming sections like "If you're working on a Guide," or "How to Prepare Release Notes"? Help readers find what they need. --> adding an explanatory section describing things like "git" and "docs-writers" once? This isn't bad on the current page, but it could be more clear where the definitions are, and there could be more of them that are not simply links elsewhere. --> describing each process visually and textually? I like the commonality between the images, but not everybody is a visual learner, and we should take every opportunity to use both graphics and text. I would have jumped in myself, but you requested feedback be posted to the list. Christopher.

Assuming noone picks it up, we will have to document this in the release notes. Can you give a brief explanation on why you believe it is misguided for the sake of documentation? Rahul

Where to document alpha issue with Games Spin?
by Bruno Wolff III 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

The Games builds have been blocked by various dependency issues since the end of July. Unfortunately the last successful build has the splash screen bug making the ISO useless. nautilus-sendto may take a bit to get fixed, so it could easily be another week before the Games Spin successfully builds. (The other spins in the nightly composes area have built relatively recently and the ISOs should be useful for alpha testing.) We weren't sure where this should be documented. We don't want people wasting time and bandwidth trying to test the July ISO.

accessibiliy-guide draft

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi folks! I won't be able to attend the meetings for the next couple of weeks, and I won't be online much at all for the next 1-2 weeks at all. I know there is an action item with my name on it, so I don't want to leave you guys in the dark! I built a draft of the accessibility guide, here: http://galileo.fedorapeople.org/accessibility-guide/en-US/html/ I sent the details to frostbite, and asked him to have a look over the screen readers part if he could, and let us know where we are falling down there. Unfortunately I haven't heard from him (I hope I sent it to the correct address (j.nadeau(a)charter.net - from FAS page for user frostbite). He doesn't seem to be in the docs group on FAS either, so I'm not sure if he will see this (if you see this frostbite, I would love to hear from you!). Also, If anybody else would like to have a read through any part of it, I would be grateful. I'm not sure if the section on the Sugar Platform should be there or not, since it doesn't really mention any accessibility functions for people with a disability. If anyone has any comments on that, I would love to hear you! I haven't submitted anything to git, since I don't have a lot of experience with that, but I will wait a few days to see if anyone has any comments/suggestions, then when I have some time to come onto IRC, I will see if there are any git wizards around to help me out with that!

Self-Introduction
by Minh Nguyen 15 Aug '10

15 Aug '10

Hello, My name is Minh Nguyen and I am interested in joining the Documentation Project. I am an Oracle and Teradata database developer. I write a lot of SQL, PL/SQL, and Stored Procedures. I also write scripts in Perl and Unix shell. At home, I dabble in all things Linux, PHP, HTML/CSS, etc. I love to tinker, learn new things, and share what I have learned. I enjoy writing step-by-step tutorials for my personal site. In this manner, I think I can make useful contributions to the Documentation Project. I would also like to help proofread and update documents. I am always fortunate enough to find a kind and knowledgeable soul whenever I need help big or small, and I would like to take the first step in giving back to the community. Please let me know how I can start helping. pub 2048R/EE7307E4 2010-08-08 Key fingerprint = 7A31 7C88 13EC BFC4 9DCA 1AB1 0794 D5E7 EE73 07E4 uid Minh Nguyen (deurbroucq) <deurbroucq(a)yahoo.com> sub 2048R/302A691B 2010-08-08

Fedora 14 Technical Notes
by John J. McDonough 13 Aug '10

13 Aug '10

In last night's meeting it was observed that we might be light on talking points and release notes, and that we might look at changed packages that haven't gotten a feature page. To that end, I have placed an updated version of the Fedora Technical Notes at http://fedorapeople.org/groups/docs/technical-notes/en-US The Fedora Technical Notes lists all changes between Fedora 13 and Fedora 14 Alpha, with links to the upstream website where available. Note that only the US English version reflects Fedora 14 Alpha. The other languages are still Fedora 13. --McD

Is this the right place to ask why the Virtualisation pictures seems to be of a xen management and not kvm?
by Henry Pepper 09 Aug '10

09 Aug '10

Hello It seems that the virt-manager instructions used in the Virtualization manual is for Xen and not KVM. 1) Is that on purpose? 2) Is this the right forum to ask the question? Please see: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/13/html/Virtualization_Guide/sec… Sincerely Henry

Self-Introduction: Rui Gouveia
by Rui Gouveia 06 Aug '10

06 Aug '10

Hello, My name is Rui Gouveia. I'm a co-ordinator of the Portuguese (pt) translation team of Fedora. My purpose for joining this group, for now, is to guarantee that all the translated documentation is delivered properly to our users. This was suggested by Ruediger Landmann in a bug report [1] and I accept the task. I hope, in the future, I can spare some time to help writing new documentation. Thanks for your time Rui Gouveia [1] - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=617532

Release Notes schedule

I added an August Calendar to the schedule at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Notes_schedule This might give a little more visual picture of what we have coming up this month. OK, it isn't beautiful; mizmo I'm not, but at least it should help get a feel. --McD

Alpha Release Notes Next Week
by John J. McDonough 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

One week from today we will begin preparing the Alpha Release Notes. If you have an application you think should be mentioned in the Alpha Notes please be sure your Feature page is concise and compelling. The Alpha Release Notes are quite succinct, so not every new feature will be mentioned, in fact, probably not every major feature will be mentioned. But if we don't know what cool thing you are working on, then for sure it won't be included. If you have a really important story to tell, consider going to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Documentation_Beats select the appropriate beat, and write a short pitch on what cool thing you are adding for Fedora 14. If English isn't your first language, or you don't think you are the best writer, don't worry. We have editors who will polish it up. Just be sure to make us aware of what you have been doing. Thanks for all your hard work --McD

Musicians' Guide Draft Now Posted
by Christopher Antila 03 Aug '10

03 Aug '10

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello: I am pleased to let you know that the first official draft of the Musicians' Guide is now available under the "Draft Documentation" category on the Fedora Documentation website, http://docs.fedoraproject.org The current focus is on establishing a consistent style and making the document sound professional. There are still many incomplete portions, especially missing links and images, and I will be working to fix these as quickly as possible. Updates will be posted at least daily until August 9th, and frequently after that point. More than ever, testing is crucial to help ensure that a high-quality document is released with Fedora 14. We are very appreciative of any assistance you can give us, and we will work hard to incorporate all feedback that we receive. Please send comments to this email address, or file a bug report on the Red Hat Bugzilla. Thank you, Christopher. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJMV6MAAAoJEInCktGVqZ8V1ysIAJhXNEgTx10bUlslr7jF4VFX ZehQhSBcXgRr2wZ4+pxkR+rc44fPdXuzbq4MoqxSerIrzsiOkUmVGL+HwVXussUu C8zHxWV2TaqU7k+NojIb6ebj2fojcj2nAQAQyU/Xn7dMsDd/JHdI++eZK2bKI0g2 rLtvtL4Z1nsVPZA5EOFG1+7+s6abzYig53Nbck/vFxPr/glOuIsCqRkVtQdn42G7 Lm1wnUt+h9Go98KHrakQWtvoGbUY6FLGZBLKxQnUNivuGvXd1VgOUjgQQhwpVxbv 33rxCNtxKJK2AZfiKxHSwmQ8yD+tmaSsB4e8mXOKFMOBMS+RW3cJAmptDRTk+fU= =8/q+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
