Summary: docs.fp.o landing page needs 'Start here' note!
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: medium
Priority: low
Component: docs-requests

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 :)

Description of problem:
ref: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449299
There is a lack of documentation on restoring a system from bare metal. 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.

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.

Description of problem:
Hi,
I just spent a couple of days trying to put the F15 Alpha Live CD image onto a
USB stick for use with my Macbook Pro.
It turns out this isn't possible.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_USB#Limitations
I think this ought to go on the documentation somewhere, just to save people
time.
In my case, my CD drive is dead, so I can't install Fedora.

Tx duplicate teams removal
by Misha Shnurapet
Hi!
The docs translation period starts in two months, it would be nice for the l10n teams with duplicate language resources on Transifex to have their resources justified.
>From what requires action, the duplicate resources named as regional codes (like ru_RU or es_ES) hold our previous work. While the resources named as language identifiers (like ru or es) are out of sync or contain empty translations. It means that the project translators would lose progress if the project maintainers kill the duplicates now. The progressed modules need to be merged in the right place, where these would be available to the teams members afterwards. This is to be done by the l10n coordinators.
There's also a deadline to be set so we don't make the cleanup an endless process. August 15th, 2011, seems to be enough, in case someone's on vacation. That's 2 weeks before the docs translation period starts and about 1.5 month from now. Then we may ask the project maintainers to run a script to remove all those language resources.
If the Transifex stats [2] don't lie, the following teams are to be REMOVED:
as_IN
bg_BG
bn_IN
bs_BA
ca_ES
cz_CZ
da_DK
de_DE
el_GR
fa_IR
fi_FI
fr_FR
gu_IN
he_IL
hi_IN
hr_HR
hu_HU
id_ID
is_IS
it_IT
jp_JP
kn_IN
ko_KR
lt_LT
lv_LV
ml_IN
ms_MY
nb_NO
nl_NL
or_IN
pa_IN
pl_PL
ru_RU
sr_RS
sr_RS@latin
sk_SK
sv_SE
ta_IN
te_IN
uk_UA
vi_VN
The following team is to be LEFT INTACT:
zh_CN (as opposed to zh_TW and zh_HK)
The merging task can be accomplished by using the Transifex-client tool available in Fedora repository. You will need the language remapping capability introduced in version 0.5.2, which is currently in the testing repo. To use now, run:
su -c "yum install transifex-client --enablerepo=*testing"
or update using the testing repo:
su -c "yum update transifex-client --enablerepo=*testing"
Please give the package transifex-client-0.5.2-1.fc15.noarch [1] good karma so it would land in the stable repo soon.
The procedure has been summarized before [3], there's also a complete manual to the tool [4]. It took me less time because I only downloaded one language I wanted. For instance, to update the Virtualization Guide I did:
1. configure the tool to use the chosen resource:
a. create a folder, say, "transifex" in the home dir and cd into it
b. [misha@pc transifex] $ tx init
c. [misha@pc transifex] $ tx set --auto-remote https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/fedora-virtualization-guide/
2. pull the "ru_RU" translation modules:
a. [misha@pc transifex] $ tx pull -l ru_RU
3. use language remapping to push the modules as "ru":
a. remap the language by adding the line "lang_map = ru:ru_RU" to the main section of ~/transifex/.tx/config [5]
b. [misha@pc transifex] $ tx push --translations -l ru
4. delete the local files
You may be able to do the whole docs collection at once using
$ tx set --auto-remote https://www.transifex.net/projects/p/fedora/r/fedora-15-docs/
as soon as the corresponding ticket [6] is closed.
