Self-introduction: Mel Chua
by Mel Chua
Hi! I'm Mel. This is my current mental model of our website, which you
may have seen on Planet Fedora.
http://blog.melchua.com/2009/06/09/fedora-website-graphical-notes/
I'm still learning my way around, so I'm going to make tons of mistakes!
Please correct me! Right now I'm trying to get lots of data dumps,
perspectives on how the site's going, how it could be improved, trying
to find stuff to hack on...
Experience-wise, I'm fluent in (X)HTML and CSS, though cross-browser
compatibility issues make me Very Sad. I occasionally put up basic sites
for friends as a combination hobby/because-I'm-the-"computer-person"
thing. I've been playing on and off with it since high school when my
idea of "good design" involved a tiled background of a Star Wars X-wing
fighter and the <marquee> tag. (My taste has improved considerably since
then.)
Anti-skillz: My sketching ability and sense of space and color (or lack
thereof, particularly for the last one) can be seen in the image linked
to above, and I understand how javascript-based UIs and db-backed
webapps are made, but am not particularly gifted at making them, and
I've learned just enough about usability to be dangerous.
Skillz: What I'm actually pretty good at is being articulately confused,
and at breaking things - being a sort of Perpetual Newbie From Hell who
inexplicably submits good bug reports. I blame my brief stint as a QA
engineer for that. I can also be a Mediawiki fiend, having spent the
past 2 years or so building up, weeding, and admin-ing
http://wiki.laptop.org. I try to ask interesting questions and to not
get distracted by shiny stuff, though the success rate of the latter
is... a work in progress.
A question, since I'm following down the
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/Join page: when is the next
meeting? According to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Websites/Meetings#Time_and_Place, the next
meeting is in 2008 - so I'm curious whether there are still meetings
held, and if not, if folks would be interested in gathering for one on
IRC sometime this week or early next.
Seems like a good time to look at our site, since plenty of new users
are hitting it and giving us potentially interesting data on the kinds
of things that could be improved. ;)

WIki standards review request - education SIG page
by Mel Chua
Wikis rock! Except when they turn into unmaintainable swamps of
information (in which case they still rock, just... more frustratingly
than optimal.)
In the spirit of Trying To Do Things Right, I went through the Edu SIG
pages and tried to redo them to fit wiki standards. Here's what I did:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Talk:SIGs/Education#Following_wiki_standards
Thoughts, feedback? In particular, I don't really expect the meeting
minutes pages to all get categorized correctly, unless we can figure out
a clever solution to remembering (or automatically doing) that...
Ian, as the wiki czar, I thought I'd ping you especially to see if you
could take a quick look and make recommendations. ;)
Thanks in advance for taking a peek!

More agressive caching
by Mike McGrath
We'll be caching more aggressively tonight for tomorrow's F-11 release.
This will mostly have impact on the wiki. It basically means you might
have to wait for several minutes before a change you make to the wiki to
actually show up. This is a temporary measure and will return to normal a
day or two after the launch and load on the servers has gone down.

Self Introduction
by Justin Morris
Hello,
My name is Justin and I live in centeral texas. I want to join the team to
help with maintenance of the fedora website. I took a webmastering class in
high school in about 2003 where we used dreamweaver. I also took some
networking classes at the college level in 06 and 07. I just want to learn
more about websites and how they work.
Thanks for your consideration,
