Summary: docs.fp.o landing page needs 'Start here' note! https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=627417 Summary: docs.fp.o landing page needs 'Start here' note! Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: docs-requests AssignedTo: eric(a)christensenplace.us ReportedBy: nathan.thomas(a)peacenik.co.uk QAContact: fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com CC: stickster(a)gmail.com, kwade(a)redhat.com, nb(a)fedoraproject.org Classification: Fedora Description of problem: We have a large variety of documentation guides serving a wide range of different users. It may be difficult for users arriving at docs.fp.o to know where to start, especially if they are new to Fedora/Linux and are unfamiliar with some of the technical terms. A note on the landing page suggesting a sensible starting point for new users could help alleviate this problem. Eg: "New to Fedora? You can try Fedora on your PC without touching your existing installation by following the Live Image Guide." The end of the Live Image guide helpfully points users to the Installation guide if they want to install :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.

[Bug 450331] New: lack of documentation on restoring from bare-metal (UUID problem)

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.

[Bug 595695] New: Direct links to RNs broken.

Summary: Direct links to RNs broken. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=595695 Summary: Direct links to RNs broken. Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: docs-requests AssignedTo: eric(a)christensenplace.us ReportedBy: eric(a)christensenplace.us QAContact: fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com CC: stickster(a)gmail.com, kwade(a)redhat.com Classification: Fedora Description of problem: * Previously, the release notes were located at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ * Their location has changed to release specific URLs. * A link to the release notes is provided in fedora-bookmarks. * fedora-bookmarks are imported by the browser only on *first launch* so as to not overwrite user modifications. The new bookmarks layout causes two problems: 1. Nobody filed a fedora-bookmarks bug so Fedora 13 (and anyone on F-11 or F-12 etc) will default to going to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ which is a 404. Since the bookmarks can only be imported on first launch, we cannot push an update to fix this if the user has launched the browser (which is extremely likely). 2. Even if I were to fix the bookmarks page to point directly to a specific release version (which again would take effect only if someone would yum update before launching Firefox), then if anyone updated to F-14, the bookmark would not change and would still point to e.g. F-13. So, I do not think that we should put version specific information into our bookmarks URLs. To solve both of the above problems, I believe we should try to do some User-Agent detection and redirection. Fedora browsers have an RPM NVR attached to them. For example: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; es-ES; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100517 Fedora/3.6.4-1.fc13 Firefox/3.6.4 This tells us that the user's installed language is es-ES and it's a Fedora browser, specifically running F-13. We should then redirect queries to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/es-ES/Fedora/13/html/Release_Notes/index.html If we cannot figure any information out about the Fedora release or language (or there are no relnotes in that language), I propose the default redirect should be to the en-US version of the latest Fedora release notes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.

jjmcd disappearing
by John J. McDonough 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

I need to be out of town on family business for an indeterminate period of time, and I will probably be netless for long periods of time. Fortunately, there aren't a lot of release notes tasks coming up, and most are pretty straightforward. I have been tracking the tasks on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Notes_schedule If you can cover some of the tasks it would be helpful; be sure to note them done on that page so someone else doesn't try to duplicate your work. 10/4 Stop sending updated POs I will arrange for this to happen by editing my crontab 10/6 Remind L10N no more POTs Someone should send a note to trans(a)lists.fedoraproject.org reminding them that updated POTs will cease for a week. 10/6 Wiki Freeze This one is a little tedious, but easy. Go to each of the beats and delete {{Docs_beat_open}} if it exists, then insert {{Documentation_closed_beat| http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f14/en-US/html/sect-Release_Not… where sect-Release_Notes-Printing.html is replaced with the appropriate section for the beat. 10/6 through 10/11 Go through the beats and update the XML as appropriate. There don't seem to have been a lot of updates, but the devel list was reminded of the freeze a couple days ago, so a rash of updates in the next few days wouldn't be a huge surprise. I think we need to rework the systemd stuff but I don't know what the actual status is, disappeared entirely or testable. Perhaps stickster can help here. Rahul and Lennart have been providing the information from dev. systemd is detailed in the System Daemons section, but it also has a mention in Overview. 10/11 Review the document, make final edits, and make a final set of POTs for L10N. Then let L10N know the POTs are available 10/12 Build GA htmls until 11-Oct This should still be happening, so no action is needed other than checking fedorapeople to be sure updated documents (or error logs) are continuing to appear 10/14 Remind L10N translation deadline - another note to trans-list 10/20 f-r-n.rpm - This actually needs to be done a few days earlier to be ready for the compose, but as late as possible to capture as many translations as possible. I hope to be back for this, but it is pretty straightforward. Instructions are at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_the_release_notes_to_Bodhi and https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Giving_a_document_karma Stay in close touch with nb to be sure the package makes it into the compose on time. Nick knows how to check where it is and how to move it along. If you have a language that is close to 100% but doesn't build, you can often simply correct the error in the po file. Most commonly a translator munged up a ulink tag, or removed the semicolon from a &PRODVER; or similar symbol. Emacs is real smart about po files, smarter than me, so I use gedit for this task. Thanks for all your help. --McD
