projects change leadership once a year or more, and I think this is a
great idea for our project as well. In the future, the project leader
will change on a yearly basis, if not sooner.
Congrats, Karsten, and I hope to keep working with you as an editor. I
am a little worried about considering an annual change, but that may
simply be because of our slow start. In our office, when project
leadership changes that often on a project that runs at a cooler
temperature, it usually signifies decreased viability. If things heat up
here over the next year, though, this concern is probably moot.
I will take more of a technical perspective, offering editing
assistance
and programming skills should any of our custom DocBook scripts and
stylesheets need updating or modifications.
And let's not forget, although it is not related directly to the FDP,
the outstanding work you've been doing on the Red Hat Magazine. If any
of the list members haven't checked it out, you should.
In the next few weeks, Karsten will put together a steering
committee
for the Fedora docs. The committee will meet on a regular basis to
discuss tasks that need to be done to move the project forward. Expect
to hear more about it from him shortly.
Thanks for all you've done, Tammy, and for your continued assistance.
