Admin Guide: good progress
by Bart Couvreur 24 Nov '07

24 Nov '07

Hi all, sorry for the lack of communication from my side, have been extremely busy the last week or two. And then my mailserver broke done, fun all over the place. So consider this as an answer to all mails (here and there I'll quote in) Anyway, I'd like to thank everyone working on the AG right now: you have all done a terrific job thus far and I must say I'm impressed with what we've got ATM. Vladimir Kosovac wrote: > One question: some of the newer (like DNS) AdminGuide sections use the > old layout, with TOCs but some others don't (like MailServer). My > understanding is that we should avoid TOCs and multiple pages to ease > wiki-->DocBook conversion. Is that correct? Well I'd say we should indeed avoid stuff like using wiki-macro's, as they tend to not get converted at all. I'd split out into multiple pages when need be. As in: keep stuff as it is split right now, makes it easy when we convert to DocBook to say this is a section, that's a chapter, .... Karsten Wade wrote: > Could we target Sunday 25 Nov. for beginning the conversion to XML? Yeah that seems to be a reasonable target. I'd like to get this done early and we might want to create a docs hackfest around it: learning how-to convert, splitting up the work: collaboration at it's best :-). We could perhaps ask for the asterisk server to be setup for something like this, but that might not help productivity, otoh: I'd like to hear some peoples voice (don't ask me why). To support this effort, I'm going to start proofreading the whole AG from beginning and checking style and consistency etc. Just keep whipping in stuff and I'll get to it later. If you think a section is done, maybe we could add a tag at the top, like: || <!> '''Section is ready for editing, have at it''' || Anyway, keep up the good work and thanks again everyone involved :-) Bart -- Bart <couf(a)fedoraproject.org> <couf(a)skynet.be> key fingerprint: 6AAB 544D 3432 D013 776D 3602 ADB6 6B2A D93F 0F93

F9 relnotes schedule proposal
by Paul W. Frields 19 Nov '07

19 Nov '07

You'll find this at: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Schedule/9 John Poelstra and I worked together to make this agree with the overall release schedule and to hammer out some dings. We invite everyone to take a look, comment, and fix as required. We don't have any Guides on the roster yet, but certainly we should begin considering that schedule and add it as well. We are also interested in tracking start dates, as well as the usual end (or target) dates for these tasks. John can help identify blocking issues, and often (as was the case this time) going through the schedule with someone collaborating can help expose problems or issues. -- Paul W.

Just wondering has anyone started this? The reason I ask is because I just checked it out and all the information is for Fedora Core 6. I read something about it but has it been committed to CVS? Cheers, Marc

too long of a field trip
by Mike Dittmeier 17 Nov '07

17 Nov '07

It's good to be back! have been out of touch on work assignments, but I'm ready to get back to it. I finished the upgrade to F8 today, and I'm ready to dive into the FDUG/FUG. I'll take a look at the wiki tonight, and more than likely just start at the top and work my way down. Are there any sections already in progress that I should avoid? -- Mike "Ditt" Dittmeier, RHCE mike(a)vegasitpros.com pub 1024D/3F08ECFB 2007-09-11 [expires: 2008-09-10] Key fingerprint = 8396 9850 E308 4EFF 1A22 6C5A 4FF5 DF6C 3F08 ECFB uid Mike Dittmeier <mike(a)vegasitpros.com> sub 2048g/1E6E4DBD 2007-09-11 [expires: 2008-09-10]
