Virtual Hackfest Schedule to be finalized!

[Eric Christensen]

If you have been considering hosting a Hackfest[1] event but haven't
scheduled it yet NOW IS THE TIME!  Here is a list of items that have not
been claimed as of yet:

Wiki Work 
      * Finish F9 User Guide modifications
      * Update F9 User Guide to F10
Wiki to XML 
      * Post F9 User Guide -> F10, convert to XML
      * Move completed security drafts to XML
Creation Work 
      * Write a migration doc for fedora-doc-utils to publican

There are also four days that do not have events planned.

Please take a look at the schedule and see when you can help out with an
event that is already on the plan.  Let's try to make this a success and
get a lot of these tasks completed before the end of the year.

I'd like to have the schedule firmed up this weekend.

Thanks!

I'll remove the second from the to-be scheduled list.  Betty, we need
to see about moving the first activity to later in the week, until
after we do a day rewriting the F9 User Guide.

Later in the week will actually work better for me since I just
decided to visit family in Mississippi December 26-29.  How does
the 31st sound?

I am going to do some test work on getting the documents out of WIKI
and start writing the conversion routines.  I am hoping that XSLT will
get us all the way there but if not I use Omnimark for preprocessing
(sorry don't do perl or awk or sed very well).

(Sorry, thought I'd replied to this.)

Thanks, I moved this to 31 December.

Understood about the other languages; if we get a set of specific
tasks we want accomplished, we have many fellow Fedorans with Python
skills who will help us.

We cannot use Omnimark for the Docs Project work, primarily because it
isn't open source, so cannot be installed and used by other project
members to duplicate work, etc.

I'll see if Ricky Zhou is available to help us with any
post-processing.  Have you had a chance to try 'mw-render' to get XML
from wiki pages?

I have installed mw-render but I haven't been able to find enough
documentation to tell me how to extract articles.  The users guide
is somewhat cryptic.

Yes, I had help the first time. :)

I fixed the command example to be visible on screen.

That helped!!! After installing lxml I was able to download F8 User
Guide.  I am going to use it for my initial test and we should be
ready to go once the Users Guide is ready.

The conversion looks like it is going to be pretty straight-forward
and can be done purely with XSLT.  I am impressed how well the export
did.  There are parsing errors but compared to other extractions I
have seen - not bad.
