Firefox splash page tracker
by Karsten Wade 05 Oct '06

05 Oct '06

Dimitris: We just got a last-minute idea from Max Spevack et al, to put a hit tracker on the splash page. A box in the upper corner/somewhere like below[1]. I know this is going to be untranslated, but we can catch it in an update to the package, and many people won't get a translated page, anyway. The value this gives the whole project is very worth the effort. [1] Please add the following: ######### Begin Box ################################################# <div class="tracking-spot"> Hey, Fedora users! We are trying to figure out how many desktop users we have. We are using a simple image to count the number of hits we get from unique IP addresses. We are not tracking any identifiable information. This image right here: <img src="http://fedoraproject.org/fc6-desktop-tracker.png" alt="blue tracking dot" width="1" height="1"/> ...is being used for that purpose. If you see the image, that means you are online, and you have been counted. If you do not see the image, it is because you are offline, and the image cannot load. Why is this important? Because we need to know how many users we have, which helps help us fund innovations to Fedora. </div> ######### End Box #################################################### How does that sound? Any alteration suggestions?

I'm sorry, this file is not complete and can be overwritten, when required, with the one that I have committed on i18n.redhat.com. 100% completed at status page. I commit it here by mistake, sorry for the noise.

Magnus Larsson Philadelphia, USA Work as a software engineer. I want to translate the Fedora tools into Swedish. Then write some of the guides if time permits. I have good computer skills but not really a technical writer. I know how the software works. pub 1024D/D86B89C9 2006-08-24 Key fingerprint = 70BE 9E32 0AEE 5216 B988 32C4 E2EC 3019 D86B 89C9 uid Magnus Larsson <fedoratrans(a)gmail.com > sub 2048g/246F9AF8 2006-08-24

Release notes on ISO
by Paul W. Frields 29 Sep '06

29 Sep '06

Re: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208555 We've had several complaints about links "not working" in the release notes, since the GtkHtml3 renderer has no way of finding external href locations. This will not change any time soon, I would imagine; I'm sure footprint size is one of many concerns that dictated its use. Links cannot be expected to work in any case because network connectivity is not a given. It's too late for FC6 at this point, but perhaps for FC7 we should think about providing an "alternate HTML" build that embeds the stylesheet and strikes <A> elements in favor of a different markup that alludes to their content without confusing users as to whether they should "work." The above Bugzilla shows that even providing external style sheets and images (PNGs for admonitions, for example) won't work. We will eventually have to figure out how to munge our release notes into a more polished form. If anyone has ideas, feel free to post them, but please also bugzilla them against Fedora Documentation -> release-notes for tracking post-FC6. -- Paul W.

[Fwd: problem with RELEASE-NOTES.pot, hold translations]
by Karsten Wade 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

FYI, we are pulling and fixing the RELEASE-NOTES.pot. Fortunately it hadn't been loaded into i18n.redhat.com yet. The XML between test3 and final that I committed last night was wildly different. Previously we had been fixing all the tags from the Wiki, but I didn't this time, not realizing this would throw many entries into fuzzy or untranslated state. - Karsten -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Karsten Wade <kwade(a)redhat.com> Reply-To: kwade(a)redhat.com, Fedora Translation Project List <fedora-trans-list(a)redhat.com> To: fedora-trans-list(a)redhat.com Subject: problem with RELEASE-NOTES.pot, hold translations Date: Mon, 25 Sep 2006 15:09:16 -0700 Because of a misunderstanding, the XML that made the RELEASE-NOTES.pot file for the final FC6 is very different from the test3 version. This is going to cause a number of entries to be marked as untranslated or fuzzy that do not have different content, but the XML has changed. Because the incorrect POT file has not been loaded into i18n.redhat.com for translation, we are pulling that file. DO NOT translate the current RELEASE-NOTES.pot. WAIT until we check in a new one and send email back to this list. This is going to be done in the next 24 hours. If you know what you are doing and feel you can proceed with the current POT file, please go ahead and translate what you can. Be aware that many of the inline XML markup is going to change, that is, most of the <code>foo</code> lines are going to be changed in the old and new content.

Self-Introduction: Adam M. Dutko
by Adam M. Dutko 25 Sep '06

25 Sep '06

Adam M. Dutko I live in Cleveland, OH with my wife, two dogs and two cats. I work as a Linux Systems Administrator for a large Chemical Coatings company and am currently pursuing my MBA in Operations Management (subject to change) and my M.S. in Software Engineering. My professional and personal interests (in no particular order) revolve around open source, computing, programming, brewing beer, sewing my own clothes, bike riding, rowing, emedded systems and wireless sensor networks. While working at a NASA site one summer as anintern I was fortunate enough to be exposed to RedHat 7.3. From that point I became an avid user of the Linux kernel, Open Source and RedHat related distributions. I was once a paying member of the RedHat community when the "RedHat" personal distribution was still around, and I use RHEL at work. With that said, I would now like give back to the community that's given me so much over the years: a job and a hobby. My primary goals are to improve upon my writing skills while helping the Fedora community. Considering I am a student and work full-time, I will make contributions on a sporadic basis. When I'm finished with school I plan on starting an open source company based out of Cleveland, OH. I'm not exactly sure what type of documentation I would like to do, but I do have programming, administration and "soft experience" so please let me know what area in the Fedora community needs the most help. Since this is my first attempt at writing documentation I unfortunately do not have any past projects to tell you about. pub 1024D/B8A783EE 2006-09-24 [expires: 2007-09-24] Key fingerprint = E095 6B64 8E94 A021 379B 9A5E 1724 3CEE B8A7 83EE uid Adam M.

[update] FC6 release notes POT
by Karsten Wade 24 Sep '06

24 Sep '06

This is an update that the release notes POT is already a few hours late in being ready, and still has some hours to go. I hope to have it all done by Midnight my time, which is 0700 UTC (7 hours late). Apologies for the delay and the delayed status update. - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
