[Fedora-music-list] Updating Musicians' Guide for Fedora 20
Hello Docs and Audio Creation SIGs:
Now that I have a little more time in my life, I'd like to properly
update the Musicians' Guide for Fedora 20. Since there are so many
possible tasks, and I'm not really the best person to judge what changes
would be most useful, I want to include others in the revision-planning
process.
These broad goals can help focus our efforts:
(1) Incorporate changes to software since Fedora 16.
(2) Eliminate content present in upstream documentation. This would
preserve Fedora-specific information, the sample creative projects, and
summaries.
(3) Do copyediting to ensure high-quality, low-ambiguity, easily
translated text. If we do this, it should be a concerted effort in one
place, to minimize the amount of text that requires re-translation.
Possible specific tasks:
- see what can be removed from Qtractor, referring to upstream docs
- include Ardour 3, if it'll be ready during Fedora 20 cycle
- use the SuperCollider GUI rather than the GEdit plugin
- rationalize the SuperCollider chapter, which is half the guide
In addition, I'd like to finish my long-standing goals of changing the
specific piece used for the LilyPond piano tutorial, and of using a
freely-available recording as the basis for the Qtractor activity.
I appreciate any feedback or new tasks, and especially offers to help.
In the coming days, I'll start filing these issues on Bugzilla so we can
track their progress.
Regards,
Christopher
