Current Docs states

[Jonathan Roberts]

Hi,

after the meeting on sunday people said it was probably best to carry
out discussions about the DUG and the Admin Guide on the list so...

I was wondering what the current state of these guides is? What needs doing? etc

Also, what needs doing to create the new "todo" list style page?

Kind regards,

Jon

Hi Jon:

I joined the project to work on Administration Guide 10 days ago, but
before start writing, I'm getting skills on emacs, doc book and
knowledge about Red Hat documentation rules and other issues.
If you want, we can split topics and write the manual together.

I'm not sure how far my skills will stretch with regard to admin
tasks, my level of ability is more desktop and some lighter admin
tasks - though I like to think improving all the time :D

I'm quite willing to help out however I'm needed with the admin guide
though so if you do need any help post here and let us know!

Let me address just this one; I've been too busy this week to make
progress on it.

We have two pages:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/SteeringCommittee/TaskSchedule
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Tasks

What needs to happen is:

1. DocsProject/SteeringCommittee/TaskSchedule (DP/SC/TS) needs to be
combined into a new DocsProject/Task (DP/T) list.  The new list (which
can use the similar table format) should have "skill" or "experience"
level as a column, so we can identify items that require e.g. FDSCo
action.  Otherwise, it is a master, project-wide list

2. DP/SC/TS then needs to be setup for redirect to DP/T

3. The content currently on DP/T needs to be:
   i. Reviewed for relevancy
   ii. Relevant content moved to DocsProject/WorkFlow

4. We need to populate DP/T

5. If a task has sub-tasks, it can get a page in the same namespace,
then have another table of all the sub-tasks; this keeps the main task
page clean.  E.g., DocsProject/Tasks/WikiCleanup

I think that's it.  Anything I missed?
