quaidthere :)09:06
sticksterRelnotes translation status is documented on wiki at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Translation/Statistics09:07
coufhah :)09:07
sticksterMaking great progress in smaller modules.  Release notes module, less so.09:07
sticksterThere are several locales for relnotes done, though -- notably es, pt, pt_BR and sr if memory serves09:07
sticksterI think el and zh_CN are either done or almost done too09:07
quaidshould we drop an email to the in-danger languages?  is that easily done?09:07
sticksterI don't have membership on the per-lang lists, but I can certainly send an email to f-trans-l with a summary09:08
couf<dreaming>1 e-mailadress to all lang-lists</dreaming>09:09
* stickster shakes couf awake09:09
glezosHere are some key people for languages: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/L10N/Teams09:09
* couf thanks stickster 09:10
* glezos will send an email to -trans-de (german) 'cause they seem a bit inactive09:12
sticksterglezos: You may be able to just forward my email -- going to f-trans-l in a minute or two09:12
glezosok09:12
quaidwell ... anything else to do there?09:14
quaidwhen do we have to drop the package to RelEng09:14
sticksterAround the 10th AIUI09:15
sticksterI will certainly coordinate with Jesse since I'll see him in DS09:15
stickster*SD09:15
quaidok09:15
sticksterIt's possible there could be a day or two of slide time given the Summit09:15
glezosstickster: please remember to remind the (new) deadline for translations in your mail09:15
sticksterYup, doing so -- sent it before, sending it again09:16
sticksterOK, off09:17
sticksterIG status: doing some heavy refactoring today, hope to have the whole thing ready in ~48 hours09:18
-!- aalamS [n=aalam@59.94.178.183] has quit [Remote closed the connection]09:18
quaidquick side question ...09:18
quaidare we Ok with the idea of merging all project tasks into DP/Tasks?09:18
quaidit's "different" from other projects; we adoped the TaskSchedule from e.g. FESCo, and I sort of hate it :)09:19
* stickster gives +1, we need to simplify... and I hate it too :-)09:19
quaidok09:19
* quaid works on that in the background, so he can get a list of "Guides for F7" on Tasks09:19
glezos+1 here09:20
couf+1 here aswell09:21
jmbusersimplifying is good09:22
sticksterBTW, thanks to the folks cleaning up our project page.  Much easier to read and navigate now!09:23
jmbuserJonRob deserves a round of applause09:23
couf+1, thanks JonRob09:23
JonRobjmbuser: you'll make me blush09:23
JonRobglad you'll like it tho :D09:24
glezos:)09:25
* quaid does a golf clap09:25
quaidjmbuser: tell us about CompleteReference09:25
glezosthis is a great example on how a new member could do something really useful for a project09:26
quaidfresh perspective + enthusiasm == life blood :)09:26
JonRobthe DP/Tasks page would be a good addition to the join page09:27
JonRobhelp other newbies get involved09:27
quaidyes!09:27
quaidthat is exacly the reason, to get all the real tasks in one place, organizes by difficulty, etc.09:27
JonRobyeah09:28
JonRobcool :D09:28
coufindeed, keep it simple and people will want to jump in09:28
glezosa list with simple, hands-on tasks each one having a mentor is a great way to encourage new members to get their hands dirty and have fun09:29
quaidright ... instead of jamming all on that page, if a sub-project (e.g. release notes) needs lots of tasks, then we can just reference a sub-page (DP/Tasks/ReleaseNotes)09:29
JonRobquaid: take away from the fear of random wiki edits!09:30
JonRob(probably just me on that one :D)09:30
jmbuserjmbuser: random wiki-editing is fun09:31
* jmbuser talks to himself09:31
JonRoblol09:32
coufjmbuser: you seem to like doing that :-)09:32
jmbusercouf: only lately :-)09:32
* quaid wonders what happened to the Wiki patch that kept the table from floating under the darn right nav09:32
coufwell then an FYI: I'm working on to small FDP-howto's (wiki-2-xml and publishing to docs.fp.org)09:32
quaidcool09:32
quaidalthough on the later ...09:33
quaidlatter09:33
quaidthat exists, doesn't it?  09:33
coufyeah, but more refining it09:33
quaidok09:33
quaiddon't kill yourself on it, since we are sunsetting that method09:33
* quaid didn't want to say "killing"09:33
coufi've got some .conf-file around, making it just copy-paste -> restarting apache09:33
coufquaid: gotcha09:34
stickstercouf: There is part of the publishing to docs.fp.org in the /cvs/fedora branch README09:34
stickstercouf: You may be able to leapfrog using that09:34
coufstickster: thanks, didn't see that file09:34
sticksterunder config/HOWTO*09:34
coufwell it's just mentioning a sort of differnet approach (alternative method), for people already running a site09:36
stickstercouf: cool09:36
coufokay, should we move on?09:37
jmbuser+109:38
stickster=109:38
stickster+1, sorry09:38
coufwe've had the IG, so that makes: admin guide and/or FUG09:39
quaidso for the other guides09:39
quaidI don't see us having them ready w/ translations by F709:39
quaidready, yes; l10n, no09:39
quaidwhich is not optimal, but its ok09:39
jmbuserquaid: I have to agree with the FUG not being ready for translation09:40
quaidso the list of target guides is:  Installation, Administration, (New) Users ...09:40
quaidYum ...09:40
quaid(Software Management)09:40
quaidanything else?09:40
coufguess not, we shouldn't go too far with this09:41
coufhaving 4 guides ready will be nice09:41
quaidyes, we can look at producing more between releases09:42
quaidI see two general classes of guides09:42
quaidone is essential to have with a new release09:42
quaidthose help you install, use, and administrate the system09:42
quaidthe other kind are more bonus, and go into different areas people care about09:42
quaidsome of those other kind may end up getting pulled later into e.g. Administrationg guide09:42
quaidthose are the "how to run your own repo" and etc. types09:43
JonRobhas the docs project ever considered trying to establish a set of less formal guides, to compliment the formal ones?09:44
quaidhow do you mean less-formal?09:44
quaidwiki-based or?09:45
JonRobquaid: good question, there's loads of info spread around fedora forums etc that are useful (and that don't have legal/patent issues)09:45
JonRobbut they're so scattered09:45
quaidright09:45
JonRobmight be nice to have something that makes those easier to find09:46
JonRobnot same quality09:46
JonRobbut useful none the less09:46
quaidwell, all the fedoraunity sites are under the OPL, so that is one souce09:46
-!- Netsplit pratchett.freenode.net <-> irc.freenode.net quits: mether, stickster, tsAWAY, vpv, jmbuser, couf09:46
quaidonce we have document publishing out of the Wiki, we can turn the Wiki into 100% community collaborate documentation09:46
quaidwhoops09:46
quaidhold on until the net desplits09:46
-!- Netsplit over, joins: jmbuser09:46
-!- mether [i=ask@fedora/mether] has joined #fedora-docs09:46
-!- Netsplit over, joins: stickster, couf, vpv, tsAWAY09:46
JonRobsure09:47
JonRobwhat was that?09:47
jmbuserstickster: What happened?09:47
sticksterwacky09:48
quaidnetsplit09:48
quaidwe waited for you :)09:48
quaidonly thing I said was ...09:48
quaidonce we have document publishing out of the Wiki, we can turn the Wiki into 100% community collaborate documentation09:48
sticksterroger that09:48
quaidJonRob: netsplit is when the servers we are chatting on drop their connection; we are all connected to a random IRC server that is all part of an IRC network, and sometimes a server splits off, then comes back09:49
quaid(e.g. those guys were all on pratchett.freenode.net)09:49
JonRobquaid: thanks :D09:49
glezosIdeally we'll be able to fix the defragmentation of our docs and get them all in a "bigger picture" thing.. although low-level they will be modular.09:49
glezoswith the publication from the wiki we might be able to get this "right".09:49
jmbuser+109:50
quaidyep09:50
quaidit's going to be quite a productive summer with the two GSoC projects solving long standing problems :)09:50
