Re: comments on 'directory structure'

[Dimitrios Typaldos]

It seems properly that I have misinterpreted some previous sayings. I had the idea that the pages under drafts are still under development and not in a rather final phase. Could someone clarify this for me , please just to get a solid idea of my tasks ?

Thanks
Dimitri

Unfortunately, this is probably the wrong forum for such a discussion.
You could try fedora-devel-list instead, but be prepared for a strenuous
argument.  Best of luck!

comments on 'directory structure'

Dimitri ...

We are documenting current functionality. I too have things I'd like to
suggest to the developers but this is not the place for it.  I'm also new
here and a little lost myself.  I am having a bit of difficulty getting edit
rights. Keeps telling me my GPG key doesn't exist. I created a new one (btw
changed my sig)  and it still tells me I am giving an invalid key.  Didn't
have that problem signing up for the initial wiki account. However the edit
application says I don't exist and won't allow me to submit a key.  I'll
submit a text version and let everybody rip it apart here and somebody post
it while I work on getting editing rights.

As for what we are doing. This is how I understand it. I am probably wrong
on a few points and hope that I'll be instantly corrected.

We take sections of documentation and explain how,what and the usage of
various parts of Fedora. This is also in a frame of reference that it can
easily be merged with other distro documentation sets to reduce the
duplication of efforts and create a better user experience not just for
Fedora users but also for all Linux users. There are however areas that are
distro specific and part of our job is to write clear user guides that help
users learn/use Fedora Linux in particuler and Linux in general in
non-Fedora specific areas.

I'll post my first stabs at doing such to the list for feedback and
hopefully for somebody to post to the appropriate areas.

From
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/CreatingKeys

(Very well written doc page on creating keys. Though identifying your keyid
is missing. Other than that excellent document)

Side note Dimitri. You only want to publish your sig, not all of your keys.

-

gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --send-keys GPGKEYID

If you want to give or send a file copy of your key to someone, use this
command to write it to an ASCII text file:

-

gpg --export --armor [e-mail] > jqdoe-pubkey.asc

Once you create the file you can just attach it to your email to sign it.

Just a misunderstanding, I think.  When Paul read this:

He didn't hear the implied wording, "... the Directory Structure chapter
of the Administration Guide."  It sounded like you were proposing a
restructuring of the Fedora/Linux directory structure. :)
