[Bug 595695] New: Direct links to RNs broken.
by Red Hat Bugzilla 31 Aug '12

Please do not reply directly to this email. All additional comments should be made in the comments box of this bug. Summary: Direct links to RNs broken. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=595695 Summary: Direct links to RNs broken. Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: docs-requests AssignedTo: eric(a)christensenplace.us ReportedBy: eric(a)christensenplace.us QAContact: fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com CC: stickster(a)gmail.com, kwade(a)redhat.com Classification: Fedora Description of problem: * Previously, the release notes were located at http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ * Their location has changed to release specific URLs. * A link to the release notes is provided in fedora-bookmarks. * fedora-bookmarks are imported by the browser only on *first launch* so as to not overwrite user modifications. The new bookmarks layout causes two problems: 1. Nobody filed a fedora-bookmarks bug so Fedora 13 (and anyone on F-11 or F-12 etc) will default to going to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ which is a 404. Since the bookmarks can only be imported on first launch, we cannot push an update to fix this if the user has launched the browser (which is extremely likely). 2. Even if I were to fix the bookmarks page to point directly to a specific release version (which again would take effect only if someone would yum update before launching Firefox), then if anyone updated to F-14, the bookmark would not change and would still point to e.g. F-13. So, I do not think that we should put version specific information into our bookmarks URLs. To solve both of the above problems, I believe we should try to do some User-Agent detection and redirection. Fedora browsers have an RPM NVR attached to them. For example: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; es-ES; rv:1.9.2.4) Gecko/20100517 Fedora/3.6.4-1.fc13 Firefox/3.6.4 This tells us that the user's installed language is es-ES and it's a Fedora browser, specifically running F-13. We should then redirect queries to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ to http://docs.fedoraproject.org/es-ES/Fedora/13/html/Release_Notes/index.html If we cannot figure any information out about the Fedora release or language (or there are no relnotes in that language), I propose the default redirect should be to the en-US version of the latest Fedora release notes. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug.

Direct Bugzilla link in We Need Feedback section
by Ruediger Landmann 30 Aug '12

30 Aug '12

Hi all: In response to BZ#808103[1] I've just committed a change to the Feedback section of the Publican Common Content for the Fedora brand. This adds (actually, requires) a direct link to the Bugzilla product and component for the book in question. This is quite an invasive change that will require attention from the Localisation team. We will need their help for Publican 3.0 shortly anyway, so I figured that if we needed to make invasive changes, now is the time to do it! If you'd care to run your eyes over the text, I'd welcome any suggestions for improvement in the next day or so before I request help from translators. Cheers Rudi [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=808103

Volunteer needed: QA Wrangler
by Ben Cotton 28 Aug '12

28 Aug '12

Docs Team, In order to improve upon the QA procedure[0] we've developed over the past few releases, we need someone to shepherd tickets through the process. As such, we've come up with a description of what a "QA Wrangler" would do (see the bottom of link 0). Now all we need is a volunteer. If you're willing to fill this roll, please reply on list. If there are multiple people interested, we can let them fight it out or come up with a way to rotate or separate duties.

Hello! I am Eduardo Mayorga Tellez from Nicaragua. I have recently joined the Fedora Project and currently I collaborate doing translations. I've used Linux for 4 years and Fedora since two years ago. I'd like to help in the documentation because I think I can help other users to use no-experienced user the operating system. Regards.
