Summary: lack of documentation on restoring from bare-metal (UUID
problem)
Product: Fedora Documentation
Version: devel
Platform: All
OS/Version: Linux
Status: NEW
Severity: low
Priority: low
Component: docs-requests
AssignedTo: kwade(a)redhat.com
ReportedBy: czar(a)acm.org
QAContact: stickster(a)gmail.com
CC: fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com
Description of problem:
ref: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=449299
There is a lack of documentation on restoring a system from bare metal. I have
found (see reference) that restore the root ("/") is not as simple as as just
executing the restore command when running in rescue mode.
With the current emphasis being place on use of UUIDs in both Fedora and RHEL,
the whole business of UUIDs need to be better documented.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 9

Fedora 10 Docs Schedule
by John Poelstra
Hi Docs Team,
During the Fedora 9 release Paul helped me craft a schedule of docs
tasks which we published here:
http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-9/f-9-docs-tasks.html
For the Fedora 10 release I re-worked the underlying TaskJuggler file to
optimize reporting and the ability to allocate resources in the future.
As a result I've lost some of the dependencies that were built in and
am having a hard time reconnecting them. Also as I look at some of the
tasks I'm wondering if they still apply or not.
I'd love your help reviewing the schedule here:
http://poelstra.fedorapeople.org/schedules/f-10/f-10-docs-tasks.html
and telling me:
1) Which tasks no longer apply and should be removed
2) New tasks which should be added
3) Existing tasks that are wrong
--please provide the task that comes before and after along with the
correct dates so I can build the right dependency logic.
Thanks,
John

Hi Karsten,
This documentation effort is about Linux, not just Fedora/Red Hat. I'm pulling in some writers from Novell-Suse and Ubuntu to contribute to these fedora hosted projects. We all agree that the way to make Linux survive is to join our lamps together for greater illumination through procedural instruction.

FUG?
by Jonathan Roberts
Hey,
I wondered what was happening with the FUG/DUG these days? And perhaps
more generally, what was happening with Docs Project? I've only been
following along loosely, and should probably check the archives, but I
was thinking about taking a crack at writing some stuff over the next
few weeks.

Docbook question
by Mike McGrath
Does someone want to fix our Fedora template or tell me what to use
instead of seg lists here:
http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/csi.git/
I'm starting to get more data in there but the seg lists aren't coming out
right and sometimes I get a:
WARNING: Unknown tag: seg. This tag may not be displayed correctly

Introduction - John McDonough
by John J. McDonough
My name is John McDonough and I am a retired computer professional living in
Midland, Michigan. I write ocasionally, have an online tutorial on PIC
microcontrollers, the occasional amateur radio magazine article, and even a
Six Sigma article. I have used Fedora since FC1, although I don't always
keep up with every release.
I feel a certain obligation to contribute, but although I program from time
to time I can't really see myself being able to commit the time nor
intensity needed to develop. However, I believe I have a better than
average command of the English language, and when first Paul Frields and
then Karsten Wade mentioned the need for beat writers, it seemed to me that
this might be a way I could give something back.
Looking at the list of open slots, it seems as if I could add something in
the gcc arena or possibly Development Tools. I use gcc regularly, mostly C
or C++, but I'm not above writing the occasional line of Fortran or Ada. At
this point, though, it isn't entirely clear how a writer learns what is
going on for subjects that don't have a PoC. Wade through subversion
comments maybe?
Hmmm ... the SelfIntroduction page says you might want to know more about
me. Well, although I programmed for many moons, my real interest has been
the software process. After retiring I did a little consulting on Six Sigma
as applied to software development at some very large firms on three
continents. Prior to retiring my role was to provide the technical guidance
on large (>1MM USD) software projects. I was (thankfully) insulated from
many of the administrative burdens, although I did play a major role in our
software process.
On the personal side, I am an amateur radio operator, in fact, Radio Officer
for the state of Michigan, which means I spend a lot of time with the state
police. I like grody technical stuff, build radios, play with
microcontrollers, all that geeky stuff. Still, if one looks at my history,
both at work and at play, the people skills are not entirely absent.
With David Nalley's help I got signed up to FAS, did the CLA thing, now it
looks like I have a heck of a lot to read!

renaming DocsProject => Docs_Project
by Karsten Wade
Today I am embracing both the moniker "Docs"[1] and the new naming
scheme for the wiki. The time has come to rename all of the DocsProject
project space to come in line with the new naming conventions. This way
we'll be a reference implementation before we start asking others to do
the same.
Here is the process I've thought of. Suggestions?
1. Start with DocsProject and click through to each first link.
2. In each subsequent page, pull up the page of what links here.
3. Move the page then edit each of the what-links-here pages.
4. Ensure each page is in Category:Docs Project.
4.1. Make other improvements
5. Wash, rinse, repeat
I'm commencing immediately, unless anyone stops me. ;-D
cheers - Karsten

In professional technical writing, there is 'documentation' and the
'documentation project.' *yawn* I'm over that inconsistency. General
techies say 'docs', Fedora says 'docs', and 'Docs Project' we are.
