How to just report/fix one mistake on the wiki?
by Matt McCutchen 13 Jul '18

13 Jul '18

Dear docs team, I found a mistake on the wiki (Fedora 28 needs to be added to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_bugs) and wanted to report or fix it, but it looks like to fix it, I now need one non-CLA group. The Docs group looked the most likely for this scenario, but based on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join_the_Docs_Project , it looks like you expect an introduction and ongoing involvement, which I'm not willing to commit to. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Reporting_problems_with_Docs#I_found_a_probl… didn't give me any help either. Is there a process for people who just want to report or fix one mistake on the wiki? Have I missed a previous discussion of this? Or should I pose the question elsewhere? I didn't find anything useful here: https://www.google.com/search?q=what+group+to+join+if+I+just+want+to+contri… https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/search?q=contribute+to+wiki https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/search?q=contribute+to+wiki+group If you are willing to count this as my introduction and grant me access (FAS mattmccutchen) without an expectation of ongoing involvement, I will be happy to update the relevant places on the wiki. I've been using Fedora for 13 years and have a modest history of useful wiki contributions from before the restriction was introduced, though I've never been involved deeply enough with anything to join a non-CLA group: https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AContributions&contrib… However, my question stands what new users should do. Thanks for your attention! Matt

Outdated links on Wiki front-page
by Sheogorath 31 May '18

31 May '18

Hi all, I just noticed that we still serve outdated links for "installation guide" and "release notes" on the wiki front-page[1]. Since they still link to f26 which just went EOL I think it's really time to change them. Maybe there should be a default redirect link to something like "latest" which can be updated automatically. So we don't need to maintain this anymore. [1]: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Project_Wiki -- Signed Sheogorath

Leslie has a request for a document reviewer
by Leslie S Satenstein 09 May '18

09 May '18

I took the asciidoc output to LibreOffice to do some 1) grammer checking, 2) confirm accuracy, and 3) substitute better sentences to make them read better. I have proofed and corrected the release notes I am a 1/3 of the way through the F28 installation guide. I was unable to do this markup/correction with asciidoc as you are unable to see the before/after on the screen. I will be back-porting the marked up text. Before I merge the changes into the asciidoc input, I do invite someone to review my LibreOffice markups.Two or more eyes looking at the mark-ups are better than mine alone. Is there a volunteer who can read a Libreoffice document in which the text markups and comments are presented.Its about 1 hour to 1.5 hours to go through my markup document. American Spelling, International English grammar. All the user has to do is look at each change and mark accept / reject. In your review, Accept replaces the old text, Reject replaces the new text and keeps the original.That person does not have to write any new stuff, but is welcome to markup my changes if s/he wishes to improve what I did. You can send the document back to me for my rework. Why this approach================= I was a professional tech writer for 2 years. Many of the rules I had to follow from my then editor were used in my markups. asciidoc input is text. It is not practical to use asciidoc to show before/after changes to a sentence, or an added comma, etc.With LibreOffice writer and your confirmation that my changes are "clean", I will backport them to asciidoc text. The changes will serve for Fedora 29 and beyond. Contact me for a dropbox link to that marked up file. Regards Leslie Leslie Satenstein Montréal Québec, Canada
