It may be difficult for users arriving at docs.fp.o to know where to start, especially if they are new to Fedora/Linux and are unfamiliar with some of the technical terms. A note on the landing page suggesting a sensible starting point for new users could help alleviate this problem. Eg: "New to Fedora? You can try Fedora on your PC without touching your existing installation by following the Live Image Guide." The end of the Live Image guide helpfully points users to the Installation guide if they want to install :) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.

[Bug 450331] New: lack of documentation on restoring from bare-metal (UUID problem)

[Bug 595695] New: Direct links to RNs broken.

Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug. Summary: Direct links to RNs broken. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=595695 Summary: Direct links to RNs broken. Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: docs-requests AssignedTo: eric(a)christensenplace.us ReportedBy: eric(a)christensenplace.us QAContact: fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com CC: stickster(a)gmail.com, kwade(a)redhat.com Classification: Fedora Description of problem: * Previously, the release notes were located at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ * Their location has changed to release specific URLs. * A link to the release notes is provided in fedora-bookmarks. * fedora-bookmarks are imported by the browser only on *first launch* so as to not overwrite user modifications. The new bookmarks layout causes two problems: 1. Nobody filed a fedora-bookmarks bug so Fedora 13 (and anyone on F-11 or F-12 etc) will default to going to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ which is a 404. Since the bookmarks can only be imported on first launch, we cannot push an update to fix this if the user has launched the browser (which is extremely likely). 2. Even if I were to fix the bookmarks page to point directly to a specific release version (which again would take effect only if someone would yum update before launching Firefox), then if anyone updated to F-14, the bookmark would not change and would still point to e.g. F-13. So, I do not think that we should put version specific information into our bookmarks URLs. To solve both of the above problems, I believe we should try to do some User-Agent detection and redirection. Fedora browsers have an RPM NVR attached to them. For example: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; es-ES; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100517 Fedora/3.6.4-1.fc13 Firefox/3.6.4 This tells us that the user's installed language is es-ES and it's a Fedora browser, specifically running F-13. We should then redirect queries to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/es-ES/Fedora/13/html/Release_Notes/index.html If we cannot figure any information out about the Fedora release or language (or there are no relnotes in that language), I propose the default redirect should be to the en-US version of the latest Fedora release notes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.

61 Days until Fedora 16 Guide Branch
by Eric Christensen 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

It's funny to think that Fedora 16 is right around the corner, but it is! On 30 August, all guides are scheduled to be branched for Fedora 16 and POT files submitted to Transifex for the translators to begin their work. As the song goes, "we've got a long way to go and a short time to get there" so if you need any help please speak up! Last year we listed goals[0] on the wiki and I'd like to do the same for this release[1]. Why is this page so important? First it keeps you, the guide "owner", on track. It's a good place to put links or goals so you remember what you want to do. Second, when someone has some free cycles and are looking for ways to help out there is a centralized location where they can go to find tasks. Last, it helps me out with knowing what guides to expect for F16 so marketing can occur. So if you are working on a guide please go to the wiki[1] and add your guide and your goals.

FAD @ OLF
by Eric Christensen 30 Jun '11

30 Jun '11

Ohio Linux Fest (OLF) is coming up fast (09 - 11 September) and we need to figure out if we want to do a Fedora Activity Day (FAD). From a Docs perspective, the timing couldn't be better. Although it would seem quite early for the F16 release it's actually a great time to really get hacking on guides and such and leave small tweaks for post FAD. This would also leave a lot more time for the L10n team to do their thing. To determine whether a FAD should go forward we need to figure out two things: who can attend and what do we hope to accomplish. I know several of us have already said that we are planning on attending. I think we can possibly handle VoIP connectivity as well for those in neighboring continents. As far as goals I'd have to start a list that includes: 1. Working to make sure the Release Notes are on track. 2. Working on the User Guide. 3. Smoothing out the translation process and removing barriers. Others? I just started a wiki page[0] to better document this. Go there and help spread the love!
