Fedora Documentation Steering Committee (FDSCo) 21 June 2005 #fedora-docs on irc.freenode.net
Attendees: ========== Tammy Fox Paul Frields Stuart Ellis Tommy Reynolds Karsten Wade Gavin Henry
New Stuff: ========== Docs-common module completed. See this message for more details:
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2005-June/msg00090.html
Translation process needed. Relnotes are special and need to be translated throughout test cycles, then a final update to go out with the fedora-release package. We need a process to vet that quality and faithfulness of the translation. For the entire release notes process, there is a hard freeze deadlines, first for the release notes so test and final translations can be done, then for translation itself. The relnotes are frozen and perhaps tagged for translation
To resolve PDF toolchain issues, set criteria or test cases for success.
Task Stuff: =========== Stuart - File a bug with a suggestion to put the pre-filled bugzilla at the bottom of a checklist of options, within the relnotes.
Karsten - Minute taker updates the list of tasks at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/FedoraDocsSchedule following the meeting and release of these minutes.
Karsten - Talk with DKL about upping the rights of FDSCo members for fedora-docs component in bugzilla
Karsten - Release definition of how tasks are tracked.
1. Whiteboard projects on Wiki 2. Convert each task into a bug report 3. Make one or more master tracker bugs 4. Use the dependency tree in bugzilla to track tasks
reason to use bugzilla is that it is a common tool that will do enough of what we need, as long as we use a manual workflow on top of it.
tasks could be documents with their own set of dependencies, or a chapter, a feature request, etc.
tasks can be infrastructure related, so for example with alexandria (staging server), we break it down into the pieces that need work.
then http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/FedoraDocsSchedule/ becomes a place that links to specific master tracking bugs.
this is similar with other wiki pages, e.g. EditorAssignments
Karsten - Make sure docs and trans are part of main FC schedule. Start conversation about process with f-trans-l
Karsten - Make staging server description more clear, release to f-docs-l for comments, work on getting resources.
