It's good to be back! have been out of touch on work assignments, but
I'm ready to get back to it. I finished the upgrade to F8 today, and I'm
ready to dive into the FDUG/FUG. I'll take a look at the wiki tonight,
and more than likely just start at the top and work my way down. Are
there any sections already in progress that I should avoid?

Hi Mike!
I am looking at the DNS and BIND server section, however I'm not sure
when this will be completed. I am a bit busy at work. I have all the
material from a presentation I did, it's just a matter of copying it
all in there, but feel free to do what you like with it :D
Kind Regards,
Murray.

So I got this today in IRC:
15:41 < mdious> quaid, when did you want the admin guide to be finished?
Good question!
How much work do you all think it needs before it's ready for a full
Wiki-based edit?
We'll then want to give about a week for XML conversion.
Could we target 25 Nov. for the ready-for-edit?
Then we could have the initial English version out on 03 Dec., maybe to
coincide with a fedora-release-notes update.

Hey,
I think the 25th is a good target. I am dragging the ball on the dns
section, but I have all the information, so once I get enough time I
can pretty much copy and paste, and someone provided a great link from
red hat magazine.
Karsten: in one of your replies it looked like only 2-3 days for a
review, will that be enough time?
Thanks,
Murray.

After the 25th, once you get the Admin Guide converted and published, would you
be interested in helping me in updating the FDUG?
I'm committed to getting it done, despite my $DAYJOB heating up.
Any help would be appreciated.

John, is KDE DUG planned as part of the whole, or separate guide?

I have all the info for DNS, just need to put it in. However, I have
only ever compiled BIND from source and run that, I have never tried
the packages on red hat/fedora, hopefully that link that was posted
will be helpful, since I don't think I have time to set it up myself.
Will try to get it done this week.
Kind Regards,
Murray.

After the 25th, once you get the Admin Guide converted and published, would you

The more hands, the faster. :)
Could we target Sunday 25 Nov. for beginning the conversion to XML?
That means we need the wiki copy ready for editorial review by Friday 23
Nov.
This would give us an 03 Dec. publication date, possibly to coincide
with an updated release notes.
Too aggressive?
If we wait much later, we'll run into some holiday timing that may or
may not help our cause. :D

I'd say 25/11 (or 11/25) is achievable, considering progress made
lately. There are s few not-yet-started sections though - we might need
more hands.
I'll commit myself to complete samba and scheduling tasks by the end of
this weekend and then see what's left that I can (from the knowledge
perspective) do.

Mike, welcome back! I've been really busy at my $DAYJOB as well.
I finished the upgrade to F8 today,
Great stuff - I just upgraded in the past few days. Fedora gets better all the
time. Suspend/resume works beautifully now.
and I'm ready to dive into the FDUG/FUG. I'll take a look at

Short answer: No.
Long answer:
There's been great progress on the Admin Guide, none of it coming
from me. :-)
As lead writer of the FDUG (FUG seems to have too many bad
connotations), the FDUG can really use some great contributions.
It may not be as interesting to write as the AG, but the FDUG is,
in some ways, more crucial to getting new users up-to-speed on
the Fedora Desktop.
The KDE-SIG team agrees with me. They see a need for an FDUG that
covers KDE apps on equal footing with GNOME apps.
Xfce should also be covered, especially with an XFCE spin in the
works.
To sum up:
1. The GNOME section (the current doc) needs some minor fixes,
i.e., Pidgin => Gaim
2. The KDE section needs to be added and integrated into the FDUG.
3. Xfce section is something needed in the near future.
Mark, so keep an eye on the FDUG and pitch in as much as you can.
