Suggestion for writing release notes
by Couret Charles-Antoine 07 Sep '12

07 Sep '12

Hi all, My name is Fedora and I am a French ambassador. Since Fedora 16, I write the announce in French for the new Fedora release. The French team, who translate Fedora, found the release notes written enough, too short and not suitable for public. It's difficult to translate and understand these documents. It is more a concatenation of all provided strings without so much flourish. I think, the releases notes require to many skills in "data processing" to understand the news in Fedora. For me, it's the official document to communicate the changelog with the public and actually, it's not possible with that. With the French team, we thought to write the release notes in French and translate that in English for others translation team. If you are ok to this project, I can write the document before the 17th September, it's sufficient for others translation in future. That could be a Publican replacement for the usual Release Notes. I don't master yet Publican but I am willing to learn. In short, the idea is to provide the Release Notes for Fedora 18 in a detail document avoiding the usual phrasing like bellow: " Desktop - GNOME has been updated to the latest release XX; - KDE has been updated to the latest release YY; - Mate has been packaged for the first time in Fedora.." The original document would be written in French but translated in English throught Transifex. Of course, we would need English people to proofread and improve our translation. You can read my precedent work for that (Fedora 16 and 17) : https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Renault/Promotion/Fedora_17 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Renault/Promotion/Fedora_16 It is more detailed, explained and written.Briefly, for a wide dissemination. Thank you for giving me your opinion on the subject. Charles-Antoine Couret — Renault

Yes, I noticed that you had made some changes to the wiki page. Unfortunately is not current with what's in the Security Guide since development has moved over to the XML files in git. I can make the changes you've pointed out or you can do so, yourself, in git. > The second update I want to make is to the navigation paths to > Terminal.

I'm not sure how to really deal with the difference between GNOME 3 and other desktop environments. > The third update I wanted to do was add a new section for creating > the archives via the GUI.

No contribution is too small (or too big!).

Yeah, those wiki pages are dead and need to be removed (they are already in Archive:). All SG development is in git. > > - Adam > Thanks for your updates! I've cc'd the Docs list so we have a public record of the conversation and your contribution. Just let me know if you would like to make those changes in git or not. If you need some assistance just let me or someone else know and we can help you out there. - -Eric -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJQRfsTAAoJEIB2q94CS7PRkBkQALwTvqj2PqfZniqfE8FwNieQ GXmPJO1SgoZzpbz13EAXql+cHxTmOSHhBYRmQjAWWV8y1kNncgRy7ln2YbIQmvSB YnXG7BTe+gCznZyfL7qMaQUFMNWeOBEn39g27g49aR9cwz7JdaJSv/bqr1M0v5uU SQnMa9OdgUbLHee/ZSS74mfedzu61SCAoB8SSdHr64dF8/IhJY+oDFE7kZ2EEKWX Urzf12sNliVAh3ogl04pMH6hLqm1j2z4VT/hx7DAEughRUOIGlnnlvAXrN00MFWa ZgpWqeeETCO0RlDb75fL3LfMcROr/zUKMZ6EGuzKbNM0N69Kh++FhQnUfkhZugQs czxPNXmZxvZwQr8dukl+n8bSwlLVSZKOPi0ffuurwqVF09zoWOxiqB4QzN3qe4mi Qr341nQDOwQ7gT4icKcs+ffqvsSDke+lt0/kfgK500J2ojEmtO+LqtHRvgTyP6v+ TEcBc0Q3z2BAMH/4Ich1iSude7dqPtPId+OcG9kLEWDMGZKCzCsTsptzL3Ry4Tp6 S6e72GTVfv8q/6g2UAxj2oTzkBz39+fnSbvMQO0NV2pU69Aidh7me5uDVdUKbJQo +AgqBtm7GNVgGBUNb56e/JPDEGmZEhoJgJqVO8Wx9WVjz7QHLzJiewOEl4/sw+vJ 3QC5IBLoEW1G71vq7J64 =JT8W -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
