Hardening Doc Update
by tuxxer 08 Jan '05

08 Jan '05

Ok guys, sorry I've been gone for so long. It seems others have been out as well. Anyhow, I've finished the hardening doc, and would like to get some feedback: glaring omissions, errors, etc. I have to try to remember what my bug number is (it HAS been a while), and once I get some feedback, I'll post it up there so it can hopefully go to editing. Check out the html version at http://members.cox.net/tuxxer/ . -Charlie --

status from kwade@redhat.com
by Karsten Wade 22 Dec '04

22 Dec '04

Speaking strictly for myself here, although I think this applies to many others. As many of you know, the Engineering team at Red Hat is in the final stages of the next release of Enterprise Linux. I'm deep into the particularities of SELinux just as others are working on their own content. I apologize for not being present on list/in project lately. This situation will continue for a little while longer, for myself at least. However, if you are looking for a response from me for any reason, I am always camping on #fedora-docs on irc.freenode.net. Drop your question and hang around (or give your email address), I'll read it eventually. Several of us continue to have interest in tweaking the toolchain. There are many docs to be written, and a few in the works to be edited. There may even be a few in the queue to get posted to fedora.redhat.com/docs. We appreciate your patience, keep the good work coming, and thanks for hanging in there with us. cheers - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, Sr. Tech Writer a lemon is just a melon in disguise http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41

Project Status?
by Basil Copeland 22 Dec '04

22 Dec '04

I just joined the list, though I've read through some of the archives. Will there ever be any documentation for Fedora comparable to the "Red Hat Linux Manuals" found here: http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/ Is there any reason why this material could not, or should not, be updated for Fedora by the community (e.g. copyright?). I still find myself using the RH9 "manuals" a lot, even for Fedora. If permissable, I would help out in updating selected portions of this documentation, in areas where I possess some measure of competency. Basil Copeland

Adding boilerplate errata/CVS instructions
by David Malcolm 21 Dec '04

21 Dec '04

Attached is a file that supplies boilerplate instructions for reporting errors/patches with a document. Also attached is a patch to my Stateless Linux tutorial which pulls in the file and uses it, with the various sub-entities given sane definitions. You can see a usage of this file in an unofficial copy of that tutorial, located here: http://people.redhat.com/dmalcolm/stateless/stateless-linux-HOWTO- en/#errata-tip I propose adding the first file as "fedora-docs/common/errata-en.xml" Any thoughts/rewrites? Perhaps the heading should read "About This Document" instead? Dave Malcolm

Release notes on project website
by William M. Quarles 30 Nov '04

30 Nov '04

Considering that some people might still want to download Fedora Core 1 (i.e. since those paying attention might have noticed that the 2.4 kernel still performs better than 2.6), I think that it would be a good idea to have the release notes for Fedora Core 1 on the website, even if only for historical purposes. Red Hat always left old documentation for Red Hat Linux up on their website, and I don't see why The Fedora Project should behave any differently. Peace, William
