Self Introduction
by Zach Oglesby 27 Jan '09

27 Jan '09

My name is Zach Oglesby, and I have been using various distro since around 2001. I have never really contributed to any distribution but I ran a website for teenage Linux users from 2002-2006, with weekly reviews and news updates. I also recently joined the ambassadors group but I currently live in Spain and do not speak the Spanish so it makes it hard for me to do much outside of my work. I am a decent programmer but lack skills when it comes to GUI's. Online I am a people person (very different in person), and am willing to work with anyone on whatever needs to be done. The docs project is a good fit for me because free software is the most important achievement of the computer age, and good documentation makes great software even better.

CMS Option: Zikula
by Eric Christensen 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Earlier today I had the chance to talk with Simon, who represents Zikula, about his CMS solution. I did the interview on IRC on #fedora-docs so it could be seen by all on IRC and so I could record the conversation for everyone to read. I created a wiki page[1] on Zikula and asked most of the information that was requested (my time was short). Simon provided good answers to all the questions which went a lot further than the check marks that I used on the wiki. I invite everyone to read the transcript[2] and pose additional questions or comments to the list. Simon has subscribed to the list so he can probably field questions by email. All CMS options are on the wiki[3]. Of course this is the only one that has come to light with a lot of energy. If anyone else would like to suggest a CMS solution please complete a CMS template[4] so we can make an informed decision.

Leave of absence....
by Jason 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hi all, Not that I am a central figure or anything even remotely close :) but I figured I should drop a line to the list since I haven't been around much lately. This is due to current job commitments and getting ready for the move to a new job and living area. I would love to say I could help with the current reorganization and project work but that unfortunately isn't going to happen unless someone figures out a way to get more hours out of a day. :) I am currently listed for a couple release note beats which I am not going to be able to keep up with. Hopefully things will settle down in the next 4 months or so... -Jason

installing the git-all and publican fedora
by Shajia Khan 26 Jan '09

26 Jan '09

Hi, I was planning to contribute in some docs projects for students. While I was visiting installation guide section I saw that I need to get familiar with using 'git' if I want to contribute something to the installation guide. But I was not sure how to install it. . https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs_Project_work_using_git#Setting_Up Besides I am using windows vista as my operating system. Will the new program conflict with my existing operating system? Shajia

CMS Option: WordPress
by Clint Savage 25 Jan '09

25 Jan '09

As with Zikula, I've also created a new template page with the details about WordPress. [1] I also spent a bit of time talking with one of the developers at Automattic (the company behind wordpress), Joseph Scott. I discussed the controversy of WordPress as a CMS as well as many of the features. Details of that discussion are also available. [2] Feel free do discuss :) Cheers, Clint 1 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WordPress_CMS_Option 2 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/WordPress_IRC_Chat_Interview

CMS Feature: Integration with FAS?
by Basil Mohamed Gohar 24 Jan '09

24 Jan '09

I recall one of the required features of any CMS for the Docs project is integration with FAS. Is this something that is going to require customization, or does FAS use some kind of a standard interface or protocol, such as LDAP or OpenID or the like? ________________________________________________________________________ Basil Mohamed Gohar abu_hurayrah(a)hidayahonline.org www.basilgohar.com

CMS Template
by Eric Christensen 23 Jan '09

23 Jan '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I created a template[1] that we can use to "grade" each CMS option. If an option looks feasible please use the template so we can keep track of all the choices. We can use these to choose a solution in the near future.

Self-Introduction
by Hedin 22 Jan '09

22 Jan '09

My name is Oleg, I'm from Russia. I'm the leader of small group of russian web programmers, so I'm specializing in Java, C++, PHP and other common languages and technologies. Also can draw 2D art using Photoshop or Gimp (depending on os and platform) and create pretty looking web pages. I can not speak and write in English because I have no practice in it. But I understand this language and can read and translate technical documentation very well. It's because I read docs such as MSDN or unix mans all my life. I want to translate english docs to russian, and help russian people to understand using of Fedora as a desktop OS. Btw, I just joined to Russian Fedora community (http://russianfedora.ru) wbr, Oleg Chiruhin, Russia, Novosibirsk region, Novosibirsk.
