Tooling, Tooling, Tooling
There was strong consensus around changing to new tools and markups. In
fact, most of the tooling conversations were held in small groups near
the end of the meeting. There was a desire to continue to see a drive to
simpler contribution and publication.
The only significant question was around the community, upstream
adoption and contributor base for pintail which is the central tool in
the new processing flow. People were very concerned that there wasn't
evidence of enough adoption and contribution to prevent the project from
being at risk of going either unmaintained or slowly maintained.

I found a small hole in documentation
by Lailah
Hello folks,
I was trying to install Fedora in a laptop but I didn't want to delete
the Windows partition, just shrink it. I naturally looked up in
Documentation as it's not obvious in the partitioner how to shrink a
partition to make room in hard disk. I didn't find it. Not I found it
anywhere else. I eventually found it out by myself so I would like to
help others documenting the process or if it's a known bug, adding a
warning to documents.
Now.... How can I do that?
Cheers and thanks,
Sylvia

Self-Introduction: Tushar Kumar
by Tushar Kumar
Hello,
I used to contribute for Fedora Docs a couple of years back. Back then,
I was a student and after few months of contribution, I had to leave
because of my new job.
However, here I am introducing myself once again. I started using Linux
in 2006 and after sorting out various things, I left the world of
windows and began using Linux full time from 2008.
I educated myself in computer science and in 2011, I did RHCE. Soon
after college, I decided to follow my hobby and choose writing, which
led me to become an assistant editor at an online news publication.
Although I am here purely out of love for open source and Fedora Linux,
but my intention is to learn and know more about Linux operating
system, as the same curiosity got me started in the first place.
I am willing to contribute my skills in docs and would like to expand
to other technical areas as time progresses. I appreciate you all for
reading this. Looking forward to a new beginning.
May the force be with you. :)

Should we stop publishing the current guides now?
by Brian Exelbierd
This email is to drive some discussion around $subject. It follows from
a blog soon to be posted on the Fedora Community blog
(https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org). The text below is copied
from that blog:
Should we stop publishing the current guides now?
The requirement to keep publishing the current guides feels very
self-imposed. Continuing to publish them is a challenge for the new
tooling as it has to be built to accommodate the past and therefore
slows down the future.
Additionally, publishing the current books spreads our resources very
thinly, if not past the breaking point. It also creates inertia which
prevents the move to topics. Confusion can result from this as well
because contributors don't know what to update (old books or new
topics).
Lastly, there is a growing belief in the larger documentation community
that no docs is better than old docs. Here this is a direct reference to
the fact that we don't republish all the docs for every release and we
don't thoroughly review every doc that is published. Versioned docs are
important, but some old materials is probably going to cause problems
(i.e. references to yum or iptables.)
One proposal was to have a "flag day" where we stop updating the current
docs and another day (or same day) where we stop the publication. this
would definitely need to be moderated for versions not end of lifed.
Please reply here for discussion.

Translation needs clarity on how to get updates published and the
process.

This seemed like a communication problem between the two projects that
needed to be resolved with better docs on the process and hand-off
procedures. Because the tooling proposal will hopefully include
continuous deployment, this may become a lot easier in the future.
