Release notes for F9
by Paul W. Frields 15 Nov '07

15 Nov '07

* For Fedora 9, the release notes and its derivative documents such as the release summary, press release, et al. should take care not to trumpet version number changes in the absence of other details that talk about improvements visible to "normal users." One of the most popular Linux podcasts brought this up during their segment on Fedora 8. Saying things like "Fedora 9 has FooBar 1.8" is not as meaningful as making brief reference to the many wonderful improvements in FooBar 1.8 since whatever FooBar was in Fedora 8. * For F9 the Release Summary should be drawn directly from the OverView beat to the greatest extent possible. The OverView beat should feature content that is the most meaningful to end users, developers, and community members using the Fedora platform. If this means the Release Summary is a verbatim copy of that beat, there is no harm in that. In fact, this offers a severalfold increase in effectiveness and efficiency, since (1) the OverView beat is the first chunk of meaningful release-related content people see in the Release Notes proper; (2) the OverView beat goes through a translation process, meaning the ambassadors and other content consumers can use a localized version for publicizing new Fedora features; and (3) this prevents duplicative effort in content collation, editing, and publication. * For F9, it is highly unlikely that I will participate in the release notes process to the extent I did the past two or three releases. We have a number of contributors stepping up to help, and it is high time that I made sure not to silo this work. I have already been working with Jason Taylor to get him up to speed on the process, and hopefully we can all encourage others to help as well. The Release Notes, as an entity, is one of the crowning jewels of the Docs Project, especially since Karsten overhauled our process to really make these a great example of community content creation. We should make sure that their direction is "onward and upward," and that we make it as easy as possible for people to contribute to them, adapt them as needed, and continue to make them the source for release-related information. -- Paul W.

Hi I have seen a couple of reviews about Fedora 8's system-config-firewall having incorrect grammar, punctuation or ambiguous wording. I would appreciate if someone could review it and file bug reports with better wording. Thanks. Rahul

Administration Guide - general maintenance
by Vladimir Kosovac 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

All, I was going to do a bit of mop-up on AdminGuide pages, fix broken links, stuff like that. Before I go and change a bunch of this stuff, one question: Are the links to particular modules on this page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/AdministrationGuide/Contributors supposed to point to draft docs or something else, that will eventually become available in the wiki root / published docs section? Content of that table needs better alignment with the intro page / actual written draft content, so I'll do that too. Then, all the contributors can use the table again to self-assign tasks they wish to pick. That OK? Cheers, Vladimir

what writing tools do you use?
by Murray McAllister 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Hi Everyone, I am writing on behalf of my fellow content authors at Red Hat Asia Pacific. We are curious to know what tools everyone is using for writing, including editors, research tools, diagram tools, graphic tools, and so on. This is sort of a survey, and we are always keen to try out new tools/ways of doing things if they will improve on what we currently use. Any help is greatly appreciated, and please don't hesitate to send off-list responses to murray.mcallister(a)gmail.com Thanks for the help everyone. I am currently using Kate, but a friend is quickly converting me to jEdit :) Kind Regards, Murray. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pub 1024D/81B3FDEB 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18] Key fingerprint = 4ED9 9907 5BF0 4132 2B46 20D1 C0C6 362D 81B3 FDEB Murray McAllister (Fedora Docs Project / mdious) <murray.mcallister(a)gmail.com> sub 2048g/B04CFA0C 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18]

[was what writing tools do you use]
by Murray McAllister 14 Nov '07

14 Nov '07

Hi, Just following up on the survey. I noticed a few people using OpenOffice - is this because there are some magical XML tools for it? Just curious, as I've never used Open Office, or considered it, for Docbook. Thanks for the help. Cheers, Murray. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- pub 1024D/81B3FDEB 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18] Key fingerprint = 4ED9 9907 5BF0 4132 2B46 20D1 C0C6 362D 81B3 FDEB Murray McAllister (Fedora Docs Project / mdious) <murray.mcallister(a)gmail.com> sub 2048g/B04CFA0C 2007-09-19 [expires: 2008-09-18]
