Updates

[Peter Boy]

I’ve just updated the Product Requirement Document on our Working Group page as decided last IRC meeting (https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/server-working-group/docs/product-requi...  wait about an hour until the pages get the updates).

Additionally I’ve put a renewed and extended version of the installation guide on staging (https://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/installation-an-intro...). Any comments very much appreciated.

I read through the whole of https://docs.stg.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fedora-server/installation-an-intro...
I got a little lost in the partitioning section, but I don't believe it is the fault of the documentation, but instead my lack of experience and understanding of LVM and other partitioning schemes and methods. I'm planning to reread for the benefit of my own personal learning. Over all I really appreciated the job that everyone did on this document, I would like to see it published. It is well written and a good doc to read to think through how a server install should be thought differently from a workstation install.

I did wonder about one issue. I noticed that this document links to a few docs from F35, will we be able to make a quick change when F36 is released to refer to what I imagine will be the same docs or slightly revised pages for F36 docs?

Since, I'm on the ballot for acceptance into the WG, I don't feel comfortable voting, but I truly appreciate the time people have taken to vote, and all of the work that some of the those on the ballot have contributed to F36 already.

Sorry, I missed the discussion of about dropping BIOS booting support in F37. If the Server WG is discussing this on https://discussion.fedoraproject.org let me know, I will add my 2 cents as someone who works with Fedora in the home lab and not in a professional or academic setting.

Thanks for feedback! Would be happy if we could discuss what we should add od modify to make it as easy as possible for a sysadmin to grasp the central rationale. And especially when you've spent a lot of time on a subject, it's hard to get it across to someone who isn't too deep into it. And sometimes my GermanEnglish may also get in the way, especially in somewhat complex contexts where the exact wording matters. That's why reviews of our documentation are so important (I always remember eseyman, who transformed my drily introduction into a snappy text with just a few changes).

All the links should refer to /latest/ and not to a specific release. The docs team introduced that option just recently. Maybe some of our texts still need adjustment.
