mirrors.fp.o subpages now in fedora-web
by Matt Domsch 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

I moved all non-MirrorManager content that's in the mirrors.fp.o/ site into the fedora-web module. Right now that's only the releases.txt file used by preupgrade, but if there's a need for more stuff there in the future, it can be managed like all other fedora-web content now. Thanks, Matt -- Matt Domsch Technology Strategist Dell | Office of the CTO

{www.,}fedoracommunity.org added to fedora-web module
by Matt Domsch 08 Jul '10

08 Jul '10

I added a very bare bones index.html file for the top-level fedoracommunity.org and www addresses. This simply lists the country-specific subsites under the fc.o domain, to make them easily discoverable. Not being a web page guru, it could use some love from someone who is.

[Fedora Infrastructure] #2265: Add FAS account name to planet users' entries
by fedora-badges 08 Jul '10

#2265: Add FAS account name to planet users' entries -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- Reporter: duffy | Owner: webmaster Type: bug | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: Component: Web Content | Version: Severity: Trivial | Keywords: -------------------------+-------------------------------------------------- = phenomenon = Right now on Planet Fedora it is hard to identify who a given planet poster is. We don't enforce / require people to use their real name and sometimes they don't. We also don't have any link to what FAS account a given feed is coming from which has caused some confusion. It makes it difficult to contact posters sometimes. = recommendation = Can we add a variable to planet so that the FAS account name of a user could be displayed in the planet template file for planet Fedora? The end goal here is to have a link to the user's FAS profile from each of their blog posts so it's clear to readers who posted what and how to contact that user. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/2265> Fedora Infrastructure <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure> Fedora Infrastructure Project for Bugs, feature requests and access to our source code.

Call for help
by Ian MacGregor 07 Jul '10

07 Jul '10

Greetings, Ian MacGregor here, I'm the wiki tender for the Fedora Classroom. I have been asked several times lately about how to edit the Fedora Wiki. Some folks are finding typo's and grammar errors and wish to help improve the wiki but don't know how to edit or are unfamiliar with the mediawiki syntax. Currently there is a request for a "How to use the fedoraproject.org wiki" class on the classroom page. I do not yet have the expertise to be able to properly give a class on this topic but I'm betting there are some Websites Team members who do. So, I'd like to ask the team for help. If you feel you have the skills and can teach a class on how to use/edit the fp.o wiki, please consider signing up to give a class. Even if you aren't able give a class on this subject, perhaps there is a class request that you can fulfill. Information about teaching a class can be found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom#Teaching_a_class The current list of requested classes can be found here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Classroom#Suggest_a_class I maintain the classroom/archives pages and I also post the class schedule to the Fedora Forums calendar. Let me know if you need assistance in setting up a class and I will do my best to help. -- Regards, Rev. Dr. Ian MacGregor http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ardchoille42
