As an aside, recommending "vim with syntax highlighting for writing and
Docker container for preview" reads to me something like
"retrieve your
mechanical typewriter from the attic ...".
Although I really use vim with syntax highlighting, I did not recommend it
anywhere in my previous text - I only mentioned Atom and Live Previews. :D
As a scientist, I have been involved in writing and publishing for
many
years, and I have never had such a request from a publisher, not even
technical publishers like IBM's ITSO or Springer. The „real Fedora way"
makes it easier for developers and community members, but increases the
effort for (and possibly discourages) professional writers who have become
accustomed to the extensive functionality of their writing tools. It would
be nice if we would find an easy way for them too.
Well, I believe that "professional writers" who want to write about
Linux
servers are fully aware of various tools to write texts and they probably
know something about text format conversion, unless by "professional" you
mean people who, for instance, just hand-in typewritten novels in Word or a
similar application. But even the Word users can still use it to write the
text and have it converted by pandoc, which seems to be able to convert
from DOCX to ADOC. There is no need to think they will not be able to learn
a few simple steps.
And if there still is somebody who wants to write something about Fedora
and they only want to do it in a certain format, I am willing to help them
to convert their text to AsciiDoc providing that I can open the format on
my Fedora machine.

But back to business. As you put pbokoc in CC, he and perhaps you have
been working on the "System Administration Guide". We have discussed in the
server group that it would be advantageous to add items regarding the
server edition to this guide (in the Fedora way, of course). I would like
to know if (and if so, how) this would fit into the current concept and
ongoing work on the guide, or perhaps someone is already working on it.
Thanks for your input.
