If anyone wants to use it, we have a conference room on the Talk[1]
server. The conference room is 2008. Thought it could be useful during
the Virtual Hackfest and anything else we want to use it for.

Holiday Virtual Hackfest
by Eric Christensen
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Earlier this afternoon a discussion was had at #fedora-docs about
putting together a "Virtual Hackfest". As Stickster put it "We get
together on IRC and work through teaching/learning, cleaning up our
Project wiki pages and whatever else comes to mind". A lot of things
actually come to mind. This could be an excellent opportunity to get
the wiki in better shape (after all the recent change requests), to
learn about Publican and Emacs, and to get work done.
I think we are talking about the week after Christmas (Dec 28th through
Jan 6).
So, who's interested? I can start a wiki page for people to sign up for
days/times to teach something or for someone to host a clean up.
Thanks,
Eric Christensen

I believe a topic based classification of the user guide can be more helpful.
This way contributors can write all three releases in one place. User
guides for specific releases can then be generated auto-magically from
them.
For example, Configuring Peripherals ---> How To Configure Mouses
--->[[3 Versions] ]--->[[Kde/Gnome/Xfce]]

User Guide
by Matthew Daniels
Hey everyone,
I'm planning on taking on the User Guide. If anyone has any
suggestions or issues, please let me know. As it stands, the User
Guide pages on the wiki are kind of mixed up between F8, F9, and F10.
Any help resolving this would be appreciated.

Self-Introduction: Rüdiger Landmann
by Ruediger Landmann
Hi all,
By way of introduction....
What other projects or writing have you worked on in the past?
I'm currently employed as a content author by Red Hat. Prior to this, I
was running my own computer support and repair business and developing
documentation for clients was a regular part of the work. Most of this
was in the form of "how-to"s to enable domestic and small business users
to carry out various tasks.
In my spare time, I'm a Wikipediholic with around 45,000 edits to my name.
What level and type of computer skills do you have?
I have extensive hardware troubleshooting skills and more experience
than I care to think about in troubleshooting and repairing broken
Windows installations :)
I'm a relative newcomer to Linux – I'd dabbled a bit over the years but
only started using it regularly about 18 months ago, and pretty much
exclusively around 12 months ago. The move was prompted by the
deteriorating performance of Windows XP on my main business/personal
computer and that spending my work time troubleshooting other people's
Windows disasters left me with little enthusiasm for troubleshooting my
own after hours!
* What other skills do you have that might be applicable? User interface
design, other so-called soft skills (people skills), programming, etc.
I was a teacher in a previous career, and have skills and experience in
explaining concepts and procedures to others.
* What makes you an excellent match for the project?
I'm enthusiastic (even zealous!) about Linux on the desktop and have the
writing and teaching skills to communicate that to others, and I'm
looking forward to contributing here. :)

wiki Releases/10
by Dale Bewley
I hope I didn't step on some S.O.P., but I noticed /Releases/10 did not
exist, so I added it and revised /Releases.

Fedora HW requirements
by Adam Pribyl
I am just bit surprised that Fedora hardware requirements remain same thru
release notes from Fedora Core 2 (almost 5 years) ut to Fedora 10.
http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10/en_US/What_is_New_for_Ins...
I think we should consider to review this, as this is really getting
outdated. I know that Fedora can run on P200MHz with 64MB RAM, but it's
not usefull for work, and I would really not consider something like
PII400MHz with 256MB of RAM as recommended hardware. I personaly start to
feel slowness on PIII800MHz with 512MB of RAM with default Gnome, KDE4 is
not possible use on this HW due to unresponsive GUI. I know this is much
about the feeling, but recommended I would consider (looking into smolt
results) something around 2GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM. For 64bit I think there
should be mentioned that you need to have a CPU with either AMD64 or EM64T
technology, the RAM and gigahertz may remain the same..
Thanks for attention

I think P3 733 MHZ with 512 MB of RAM (or even 384MB) would be ok if
you use a reasonable graphics card with some dedicated memory. It can
make a steep difference

link cvsdocs group broken
by HVerduguez@grupobisa.com
Hi, i was reviewing some pages and i found the link 'cvsdocs' in the page
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Join/CheckList is broken.
In the section "All Contributors" we have the following step
* Request sponsorship in the 'cvsdocs' group after you have completed your
self-introduction.
This is my first observation, ¿what should i do?
Saludos
