update Fedora README
by Karsten Wade 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

The files readme and readme-live-image that are included in Fedora releases need updates. The main readme needs a serious overhaul. If you are interested, these are rather short documents, but they are needed soon. We need to push out a new POT file to translators by this coming weekend, at the latest. If you've got a few hours between now and Friday, do this: 1. Pick one of these to update, emailing this list to let us know you are working on it. https://fedorahosted.org/readme/ https://fedorahosted.org/readme-live-image/ 2. Get the XML source and checkout of 'fedora-doc-utils', following the directions at the project pages. Alternately, read the latest plain text versions below and rewrite against the plain text. I'll happily insert changes in the XML for you. 3. For the 'readme', it needs updating against the current install tree. You will notice the content is rather old. The last update was Oct. of 2007. Here is a current build: http://quaid.fedorapeople.org/Fedora-Docs/f10-README-en_US.txt 4. For the 'readme-live-image', it needs a few updates, such as adding more about USB devices. A latest build is here: http://quaid.fedorapeople.org/Fedora-Docs/f10-readme-live-image-en_US.txt Let us know if you can help, - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41

[mr] Can't see localize content of f10 release notes for Marathi (mr) locale at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10preview/mr/
by sandeep shedmake 12 Nov '08

12 Nov '08

Hi, http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/f10preview/mr/ doesn't reflect the upstream localizations committed by me ( http://git.fedoraproject.org/git/?p=docs/release-notes.git;a=log is also proper). I hope my locale (mr) is activated. Looking forward for the reply..... Thanks & Regards, Sandeep

Unclear instruction in F10 Release-Notes
by Kiyoto James Hashida 11 Nov '08

11 Nov '08

Hi, Guys, I have come across with one passage that is not clear of its intention. It is the part #: en_US/Fedora_Project.xml:56(para) Kbabel entry #722 as follows: ----------------------------------------------------------------- In order to talk on the <computeroutput>#fedora</computeroutput> channel, you need to register your nickname, or <firstterm>nick</firstterm>. Instructions are given when you <userinput>/join</userinput> the channel. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Nick name should be prepared already before you use the Xchat to join any channel. And the instruction which appears when one joins #fedora is not explaining anything about nickname: See below ------------------------------------------------------------------ -ChanServ- [#fedora] "Any advice you read here is provided by individual community members. You should use it at your OWN RISK. This advice is owned by each individual, and does NOT represent the views of Freenode, Fedora or Red Hat" ------------------------------------------------------------------ I don't really want to translate as it says. Shouldn't it be re-written somehow ? Thanks for your attention, James -- Kiyoto (James) Hashida Technical Translator Red Hat APAC Level 4, 193 North Quay, Brisbane QLD.

Release Notes PO update
by Paul W. Frields 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

I saw that the Italian (it) Release Notes PO was missing strings compared to the POT. I made a re-merge and committed changes, so there are some fuzzy and untranslated strings that weren't in the file submitted by the Italian team. I figured that the Italian team would want to have these updates because they are always so quick and thorough in translations. There are still a few days left before we have to pick up PO for the final Fedora 10, so I wanted to let people know. There were also some minor changes to "kn" and "nl" but I think they were less overall. Thank you, everyone, for all your hard work on the Release Notes for Fedora 10! -- Paul W.

how to build release-note
by Noriko Mizumoto 10 Nov '08

10 Nov '08

Hi, I need some help... Can someone confirm that for first translation of release-note requires 'Common enitites' translation as well? Or am I totally misunderstanding and this is not required at all? I have encountered the problme on building release-note as well. When running 'make html', it stops forever in the middle without any error but seems freezing. Any idea? Thank you in advance for your help. --------------------------------------------- [noriko@noriko git-repo]$ ls docs-common release-notes [noriko@noriko git-repo]$ cd release-notes/ [noriko@noriko release-notes]$ ls Makefile Release_Notes-en_US ja xmlbeats Makefile.publican as messages.mo README-Accessibility en_US po README.fedora-release fedora-release-notes.spec scripts [noriko@noriko release-notes]$ make html mkdir -p en_US ( cd /NotBackedUp/noriko/cvs/fedora-docs/git-repo/docs-common/common/entities ; make entities-en_US.ent ) #(snip) LANG=as.UTF-8 xmlto html -x /NotBackedUp/noriko/cvs/fedora-docs/git-repo/docs-common/xsl/main-html.xsl -o Release_Notes-as as/Release_Notes.xml #(stops here.....forever, no output) noriko

possible typo on hosted/install-guide
by Murray McAllister 09 Nov '08

09 Nov '08

Hi, <https://fedorahosted.org/install-guide/> In the "I want to help with the content." section: git clone ssh://git.fedorahosted.org/git/docs/install-guide.git git clone git://git.fedorahosted.org/git/fedora-doc-utils docs-common Should the first one be "git clone git://" The syntax is wrong for ssh anyway... Cheers.

http://lwn.net/Articles/305736/rss http://www.fsf.org/news/fdl-1.3-pr.html How does this affect our licensing stand on the FDL? Recall that the CC-BY-SA licenses are permissible in Fedora. -- Paul W.
