Default Home Page Links
by Jonathan Roberts 18 Apr '07

> I can see pros and cons. If you want to pursue this, propose some ideas > on fedora-docs-list and we'll discuss. Was wondering if it might be a good idea to add links pointing to free media sites on the default Fedora home page? My reasoning is that most people use their computer purely as a device for office, web browsing or viewing media. The first two of these we have well covered out of the box but most people coming from windows will be disappointed if they can't buy/download mp3s from emp3finder, itunes etc so why not make it really easy for them to find *free* content online from magnatune, jamendo etc. Would be a good opportunity to help increase their awareness of licensing issues as well and what less restrictive licenses can achieve, not just in software.

Email request
by Mike McGrath 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Hey guys, our new account system will have an "invite a member" feature where current members can send an invitation to people they think may be interested in contributing. It already works! Here's what it says. Please come join the fedora project! Someone thinks your skills and abilities may be able to help our project. If your interested please go to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/HelpWanted But that stinks... Really bad. So I was wondering if someone else could come up with an interesting, inviting, better than that message to put in the email. Any takers? -Mike

Come up with a search engine idea.
by 吴愚 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

Today, I was stuck in finding the right command and document to finish my task. So I think shall we add a Desktop Search Engine for both tools and documents that are in your Fedora Core? It could search for the keywords that are described the tools or involved in the documents. In the search results, there could be simple examples of the usage for the tools or the link to the man page. For the document, a simple description is needed and, of course, a link to the page. In my consideration, it could be useful for system administrator, developer and advanced user. Does it pratica?Some advise? Thanks very much! Wu Yu

Switching entities back
by Paul W. Frields 18 Apr '07

18 Apr '07

We will be reverting entity handling back to the "-e" version. This will require some additional translation between F7 test4 => F7 Final, but the work involved should be minimal. I will revert this behavior *after* the fedora-release-notes package goes to the release engineering team. You may find that certain titles or names are not properly translated in the test4 output for this reason, for example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=236454 This behavior will be fixed after: 1. The entity handling reverts to "xml2po -e", AND 2. Translators complete the changes to their PO content resulting from the entity handling change. I expect to make this change around 16-17 April. I apologize to the translators for creating this bit of extra work, and I'll try not to have that happen again. Thanks to everyone for your efforts and keep up the good work! -- Paul W.

write a test4 announcement?
by Karsten Wade 16 Apr '07

16 Apr '07

Jesse (f13) asked if we want to write up anything for the test4 release. The final announcement is being handled under a different process[1], although we can certainly be the team to write (at least) the native-English version of the F7 announcement. For test4, we can do anything reasonable. Maybe a chance to try out our talking points?[2] If you are interested in doing something for test4, create a Wiki space and write something up, or bounce some ideas to this list. If you want to help with the final release announcement, please do! - Karsten [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/ReleaseAnnouncements/ [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/ReleaseAnnouncements/TalkingPoints -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
