Saw Tammy this afternoon, she cleared through a few bugs (if you filed
them, you saw the resolution, changes coming to the website) and moved
some stuff along. We discussed the doc tracking process, and she
expanded the doc tracker bugs, so there is now:
1.
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/129784 Docs ideas without owners - a
general bucket for ideas for new documents or conversions that come
_first_ through the list
2.
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/129807 Docs in progress - for tracking
documents actively being written/developed/edited
3.
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/129722 Docs ready for going to
fedora.redhat.com - when it is done with 129807, it comes here while it
undergoes final editing to go to the website.
This means the process of idea -> publication is:
1. File a bug report for your document, or carry the on the one with the
idea in it.
2. Move the bug through the tracker in this order
idea -> develop <-> publish
129784 129807 129722
Note: there is a double-arrow between develop <-> publish because a
document should stay alive after it is published. Once you have
published a version and have moved to writing for the next version of
Fedora Core, your document's bug moves back to 129807.
I'll add this into the process document, which Dave converted to XML and
I am editing for reposting back here for more comments.
Karsten,
It seems like we have some duplication of effort here. Before I knew you
had started a process document in XML, I started
http://fedora.redhat.com/participate/documentation-quick-start/
Seems like we should combine our efforts and decide whether to use XML
for this or just post it on the website. Since it isn't very long, I
started it as a straight webpage thinking it would be faster to update.
Which do you prefer? I do like your explanation here of the lifecycle of
a tutorial so I'll incorporate it into my page as soon as I get a chance
(within the next few days). We could even draw up a flow chart in Dia.
Like I said previously, my page needs organization. I was just trying to
get it up for everyone to see as soon as possible while everyone was
interested in discussing the idea.
Tammy
cheers - Karsten
