Publican Issues
by Joshua Wulf 31 Mar '09

31 Mar '09

Based on feedback on this list, I've put together a proposal for the Fedora Packaging Committee meeting. You can view it here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Publican_Documentation_Packages The intent of the proposal is to move forward on the bugs mentioned in it and get a raft of documents into the next release. Please let me know what you think.

Re: Configuring Sudo
by Andrew Ross 30 Mar '09

30 Mar '09

Hi Rahul, It's annoying to have to do visudo after every install :) Couple of comments: Technical - You might want to mention that your step requires root access (obvious to us, but perhaps not to a newbie) - Not sure on the Fedora style, but using "#" denotes root user in RH docs. Eg # echo 'sampleusername'..... Neatness - The OCD part of my brain would prefer editing the sudoers file rather appending :) Grammar - s/Fedora uses regular user account/Fedora uses a regular user account - The rest I will leave that to a more skilled practitioner :) Regards, Andrew -- Andrew Ross Associate Quality Engineer Red Hat Asia Pacific Phone: 3514 8331 E-mail: anross(a)redhat.com GPG-KeyID 0xCF53DC64 "I love deadlines.

I wanted to pass this along to the group for discussion. There is a proposal to allow Publican to use it's naming schema in Fedora.

Re: Fedora 'cvsl10n' sponsor needed for sumesz - 1. ismétlés

Ide kell küldeni a javaslatokat (angolul): For participants of the docs project <fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com> Igazából a 2.6.4 pont hivatkozik 2.8-ra. Szóval a sorrenddel nem lehet baj. Az egyetlen angol mondattal viszont igen. Persze a fordítóknak azért jól kéne tudnia angolul. Nem tudom, hogy sumesz ezért nem küldött-e még bemutatkozó üzenetet. A támogatóknak szóló ajánlás szerint szépen meg kell kérni, hogy tegye meg. Miután ez megtörtént lehet támogatni. Különben ha többször megismételt figyelmeztetésre sem reagál, akkor elkönyvelem, hogy túl korán adta fel.

An Introduction
by Rino Mardo 29 Mar '09

29 Mar '09

Hello, my name is Ferino Mardo but you can call me Rino. I am a network professional having been in the industry for more than 18 years. I used to be a coder (from assembler to C) but now working as a network manager. I don't consider myself a newbie though I also don't call myself a h4ck3r :-) but I do know my way around computers and the Internet. I have time available and want to contribute it to this team because as I see it this is (IMHO) where Fedora needs more help. I don't really have any formal training in writing only a handful of blogs here and there but I do know my English language quite well. Never used docbook nor xml also and this is where I'm hoping I'd learn them maybe by starting to edit some drafts? Am looking forward to contribute and hope to "see" you soon!
