link problem on http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines page

by Tim Seifert

Hi, On this page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines There's an anchor: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines#If_You_Ar.... Where the trailing two dots are a very bad idea. Anytime someone posts a reference to this page in a plain text email, and someone else tries to follow it by clicking on a URI parsed from a plain text email, the chances are highly likely that the client will stop parsing at the dots, and they'll get a link that doesn't work. i.e. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines#If_You_Ar... Evolution certainly treats it that way. Not even enclosing the link in the traditional <pointy brackets> helps include the dots as part of the URI to be parsed. The link would be better rewritten without the dots. Though that will break any HREF links in webpages that have linked to that anchor. An additional ID attribute could be added, so it works both ways. I notice the page has a pair of anchors to that part of the page, id="replying" and a name="If_You_Are_Replying_to_a_Message..", which is all well and good, but the top of the page uses the longer problem on in the navigational menu, and this is where people will copy a URI from to paste to someone else. That link should probably be changed, too. Regards, Tim.

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraLiveCD/USBHowTo

by Eric Hopper

This page could be impproved. The technique described works for the install DVDs as well as the live CD if the USB drive is big enough. This was important to me as I wanted to stop burning DVDs for several reasons: * It's wasteful. * I don't have a DVD reader in all the computers I want to install to. * Often a given DVD burner seems to produce DVDs that only it can read. * USB flash drives are frequently faster than DVDs.

Regarding Fedora Websites Team Application

by Joseph Esolato

To Whom It May Concern: My name is Joseph Esolato, and I am a student at the University of Florida pursuing a Ph.D. in Exercise Physiology. I am deeply interested in the Fedora project and the probity it shares amongst others. Having said that, I am now signed up as a Fedora Ambassador and a Fedora Marketer as of a few days ago. Already, I have created a Facebook page that I plan to maintain and/or update religiously to help better expose Fedora to the college scene. Furthermore, I am asking you to accept my application to the Fedora Websites Team as I truly believe I can be of assistance and help to make a significant impact in the future to come. Please do get back to me. -- Best regards, Joseph Esolato Fedora Ambassador Fedora Marketing Fedora Websites joe(a)gofedora.com jesolato(a)fedoraproject.org http://www.gofedora.com http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Jesolato

fedoraproject.org/wiki/PackagingDrafts/SELinux/PolicyModules

by Johnson, Richard

The examples don't work: Attempts to install the resulting *-selinux rpm yield problem like: CMD# rpm -Uvh /auto/svn/rjohnson/5611/ftl_linux/build/CD_ROOT/RPMS/lsb-ft-asn-selinux-6.0.2-183.x86_64.rpm error: Failed dependencies: file:///usr/share/doc/selinux-policy-2.4.6/html/index.html is needed by lsb-ft-asn-selinux-6.0.2-183.x86_64 CMD# rpm -q --whatprovides file:///usr/share/doc/selinux-policy-2.4.6/html/index.html no package provides file:///usr/share/doc/selinux-policy-2.4.6/html/index.html CMD# rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/share/doc/selinux-policy-2.4.6/html/index.html selinux-policy-2.4.6-137.1.el5_2 --------------- The problem appears to be the line: %define selinux_policyver %(sed -e 's,.*selinux-policy-\\([^/] *\\)/.*,\\1,' /usr/share/selinux/devel/policyhelp) I'd suggest querying the rpm db instead: %define selinux_policyver %(if rpm -q selinux-policy > /dev/null; then rpm -q --queryformat '%{VERSION}' selinux-policy; fi) --rich

headings styles in new wiki

by Adam Pribyl

Just a briefly - with existing heading styles in new wiki this is almost impossible to distinquis the chapter level. Is this an intention or just something that needs "fix" in CSS? Adam Pribyl Check e.g.: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Tools/yum/YumUpgradeFaq compare at least to http://fedoraproject.org/wikiold/YumUpgradeFaq

Self Introduction

by Adam Humphreys

Hello, My name is Adam aka CB6 in the freenode channels. I've been promoting FOSS, and the Freedom of Information since 2001. My experience is strong on the Microsoft side being a former TS Eng. I started using Fedora Linux recognizing its positive direction, and it's ability to genuinely help users improve their user experience. I have been doing web development more as a hobby for years, and helping people with their computers since the day I first laid hands on one. I recognize the significance of W3 compliance, key words in titles, unique, content rich articles, and wording that everyone can understand from beginner to advanced. I know that it's very important to adopt clean, and navigable sites into the community. I would consider myself an intermediate web designer/developer, and beginner with Linux. I'm very good at replicating or coming up with my own scripts for things so I think you'll find my creativity useful at times even if I can't fully do everything myself. I think you'll find my perspective as a beginner valuable as to look at things others might not otherwise notice. If you have any questions please feel free to contact me at any time. Thanks, Adam J. Humphreys
