Self Introduction
by Samuel W. Flint
Well, I can't say I've done much writing in the past, or worked on any big
name free-software projects, but I do have a bit of code up on the
EmacsWiki.
I have fairly advanced computer skills, no degree, but otherwise I do have
programming and administrative skills.
I have moderate people skills, and can speak well, having a firm grasp of
the English language.
I feel I am an excellent match for this project because I have an
understanding of the English language and of the technical concepts
required for it.

Status: which guide translators should translate?
by Kévin Raymond
Hi there,
We are soon in the process to translate all guides for F20.
I want to update the fedora-docs Transifex release because some guide
might not need translations, when others should be translated but are not
referenced.
First, let me introduce back the way translators work:
If we choose to translate docs, we visite the release page[1] and start
working.
There could be several issues that the translator is not aware of:
- There could be missing resources of specific guides. As we have to add
them one by one, it's a slow process and we can miss some. I just added
the security guide, but only few (2?) resources... Just to get this
guide referenced. Translators should see it, and then click on the project
name in order to visit it and get all files
- There could be missing guide (no resource are added, therefore they
are hidden and no translators will see it)
- There could be deprecated guides. We don't know when a guide is
outdated. Yes we should check the table[2] but could someone please
update it? I can still see the install-guide updated for F19, but the
guide link target f16, and it's tagged "††" with a link to the
quick-install-guide..
My real question is:
Could someone tell me that all guides on the wiki table[2] labelled "In
Translation = Yes" should be translated (= is not deprecated and could be
useful)? Then I'll check that they are all under the fedora-docs release.
Also, for guides that should not be translated, I can see only few of
them.. (In translation = No). Is the software-management guide for example
is still usable today?

Release Note Badges
by Pete Travis
Since we are now in Beats Season, I'd like to get things moving on
Badges for contributing to Beats. We have an open ticket for this[1] but
not really a consensus on how to award badges:
1) A unique badge of each release contributed to. Perhaps the greatest
incentive for writers, but also the greatest burden in creating badges.
2) Cumulative beats covered. Much easier to actually accomplish, because
of the greatly reduced burden in new badge tickets. Higher burden in
assignment; someone will have to keep a running total.
Either way, badges would be manually assigned. Can we pick one of these
approaches?
