Hey all, Just to let people know: Bart Couvreur has offered to give a session on CVS and XML in the #fedora-docs channel on freenode.

Feel free to drop by! Oh, and the time: Thursday 7th June, 1800-1900 UTC. Jon

by Robert P. J. Day 07 Jun '07

07 Jun '07

i've just become a maintainer of one of the guides over at tldp.org, and the current build infrastructure is based on DSSSL stylesheets, whereas i'd really prefer to work with XSL and xsltproc. does anyone have a working toolchain that runs under FC6/F7 that uses strictly the XSL-based stuff? thanks. rday

homepage language auto-selector
by Dimitris Glezos 07 Jun '07

07 Jun '07

So, it seems that we have forgotten that Fedora 7 ships Firefox 2, which fixes the auto-selection of the browser homepage language, so we missed including Tommy's adaptive index in F7. http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-docs-list/2006-October/msg00104.html Can we fix this and push an update on the release-notes package for F7, so that user's default browser homepage starts properly localized instead of english? -d -- Dimitris Glezos Jabber ID: glezos(a)jabber.org, GPG: 0xA5A04C3B http://dimitris.glezos.com/ "He who gives up functionality for ease of use loses both and deserves neither."

Is there a way to do endash (--) or emdash (---) on our wiki pages? I didn't see any guidance here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WikiEditing#head-fd34d4a6d1ed33ec3d1ab35c2dd8… Haven't found much on Google except to partially conclude that maybe it isn't possible. Thanks, John

Self Introduction: Matt Wilby
by Matt Wilby 06 Jun '07

06 Jun '07

Hi, I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce myself and offer my services to the Fedora community. Having spent 4 years working in IT in the motorsport industry, generally doing all sorts from Linux HPC Administration to SAN Administration to Network Administration, I fancied a career change and now work as an EMC SAN Administrator Symmetrix & Clariion) in the public sector here in the UK, which is where I have been for over a year and a bit. I've been a Linux enthusiast since 1998, first distro was RH5. Since then I've used SuSE -> Debian -> Gentoo -> Fedora. I've used Fedora on and off since FC4, but have now settled for FC6 (soon to be Fedora 7) as the OS of choice on my workhorse laptop. IMHO Fedora is the most polished and mature distribution available. I only use Windows when I really have to... :-) The articles I would like to see written about or hopefully write about if given the opportunity are :- - iSCSI - AoE - SAN Boot (FC & iSCSI) - MPIO - Volume Management (PVM2, EVMS etc.) - File Systems - Benefits of each, performance tweaks etc. (Reiser, ext3, JFS, XFS etc.) - Open Source Backup Software - What's out there? Comparison between them etc. - File replication software etc. to name a few... I have never worked directly with a distribution before, other than contributing via forums. I am however one of a rare breed of people who actually enjoys writing technical documentation & procedures. This is something that I have done pretty much every day of my working life, some people shy away from doing documentation, I'm the opposite. I find it very rewarding when others learn from shared knowledge. I'm not a programmer. I'm a Sys Admin. I cannot profess to know anything other than bash shell scripting. I do however have good people skills and a talent to pick up new things. I'm enthusiastic about Open Source Software, and I feel that this and the other qualities I have mentioned make me an ideal candidate. To conclude it would be exciting to be able to contribute or give back to a (Linux) community that brings so much to the table. Thanks, Matt
