wiki frontpage
by seth vidal
Hi All,
I made the change suggested in this bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=170892
so people coming to this page from other languages wouldn't get a
useless page.
The new front page is named FedoraMain.
Let me know if you see any problems with this. I've not removed any data
from anywhere so we should be quite safe.

Fedora International community websites
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
The dragon arises again. I pointed earlier that there has been a growing
number of Fedora related international websites which are completely
disconnected from the each other and the formal websites.
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-marketing-list/2005-September/msg0...
Can someone speaking these languages contact the respective website
administrators and ask them to sign up in this list and introduce
themselves to get them all in the same page. We need to coordinate
better on this. What are the major issues to deal with?
regards
Rahul

new features coming in moin 1.5
by Seth Vidal
hi folks,
the moin developers are working on a 1.5.0 final. The betas have been
out for a little while now and they appear to be stabilizing. It's not
ready yet and probably won't be until well after the holidays but I
wanted people to start looking at things for it:
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/MoinMoinTodo/Release_1.5
The most interesting features, to me, is the new editor and a couple of
new parsers - specifically an irssi log parser. Could be useful for
posting meeting texts, etc.
I'm going to do some spelunking into how we might be able to tie into
the fedora accounts system, even if we just maintain an
account->wikiname map and authN to the FAS that would be a help. If
anyone else wants to hunt around a bit, please do.

Fedora i18n coordination
by Rahul Sundaram
Hi
I heard there is a need to set specific agenda to do this better. So
here is my ideas.
* If you speak a language not represented well in Fedora, Introduce
yourself and get involved.
* If you are running a Fedora i18n website. Introduce yourself
* If you speak the language where a Fedora i18n website, already exists,
contact the web administrators, ask them to sign up in this list and
introduce themselves.
Getting everyone running the several different Fedora related community
websites in the same page is the primary goal at this point. We are
looking for ideas on how to coordinate efficiently with the various
community websites. I would like to hear your suggestions and opinions
on this.
Things you can do:
* There is a need for the Fedora related content - website,
documentation, announcements etc to be translated and made available in
as much as languages as possible to reach the widest amount of audience.
* You can also be a Fedora Ambassador for your country or region to
represent or organize Fedora related events, see
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Ambassadors for details.

RSS feeds for MoinMoin Wiki
by Thomas Chung
Did you know our MoinMoin Wiki supports RSS?
According to HelpOnActions at:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HelpOnActions
"rss_rc: generate a RSS feed of RecentChanges."
That's good. We can now monitor RecentChanges via RSS.
But did you also know you can target certain pages with following extension?
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/ExtensionProposals/RssLocalFilter
"The current MoinMoin RSS feeds all the changes in the target site. But someone has
interests on a part of pages only, and does not want to get feeds for the entire changes
in the site."
"Using this modification, you can limit the RSS feed for a target page and its subpages
only."
How about it? Can we implement this on fedoraproject.org?

fedora.cz
by Adam Pribyl
I am maintaining small fedora site on http://www.fedora.cz/ for Czech
fedora comunity. I missed any global attemp for internationalized content
of web sites, so we started on our own. I welcome any general activity in
this direction.

moving Mailman
by Karsten Wade
What do you think about hosting Mailman through fp.org? Maybe a
separate host at lists.fedoraproject.org, but have the MX forward from
fp.org proper.
This way we could open the process of creating new lists to people who
do not have @redhat.com addresses.
We could migrate over the current lists and have everything redirect
through www.redhat.com? Or just have new lists come up there?
It will be painful to change people's habits. Is it worth it at this
point? Or better now than later?

time to retire f.r.c?
by Karsten Wade
We've touched upon the idea of retiring fedora.redhat.com and putting
all of our content work on fedoraproject.org. Here are the salient
points, as I grok them:
* f.r.c is a static page or three that gives an appropriate message
and/or redirect to fp.o
* The build system that makes the /docs portion work needs to be i)
ported over or ii) rewritten in Python.
* Could we have the PHP building done inside a firewall and content
grabbed from another CVS repo by fp.o/docs? As an interim solution
until the includes are Pythonified.
* Rewriting of content on f.r.c can happen concurrently with figuring
out how to move over to fp.o.
* What about _not_ having the Wiki be the front page to fp.o? Then we
could have free reign with design. It can have a newsfeed section or
two to keep things lively, but even a better splash page than what we
have until the $PYTHON_CMS arrives from the sky.
Ready or not ...
