New Mindshare team for docs.fp.o: Fedora Badges
by Justin W. Flory 12 Oct '18

12 Oct '18

Hello all, Could someone familiar with the Antora pipeline review my pull request to add a new repository for the Fedora Badges team to docs.fp.o? https://pagure.io/fedora-badges/pull-request/649 We want to set up a new dedicated section for Fedora Badges resources and migrate content we had on Trac. I wanted to get feedback that the PR is a correct implementation. Thanks! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

[feedback wanted] Planning Fedora Docs hack-fest targeting user communities
by Justin W. Flory 10 Oct '18

10 Oct '18

Hi all, In today's CommOps meeting, we revisited an old ticket about planning a Fedora Docs hack-fest, focusing on getting active, knowledgeable users across Fedora's user communities to contribute and update content in the Quick Docs repo (also encouraging people from our user communities to link and reference the official docs). Please take a look and weigh in on this Fedora Discourse thread (please don't reply on the mailing lists because it will inevitably exclude someone from one sub-project or another): https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-docs-community-contribution-h… We learned Fedora Join SIG was talking about similar ideas recently, so we wanted to prevent duplication of work and see if we can all work together to make this idea happen. Thanks! -- Cheers, Justin W. Flory jflory7(a)gmail.com

Let's get started on Fedora 29 Release Notes!
by Petr Bokoc 09 Oct '18

09 Oct '18

Hi docs! It's that time of the half-year again; we're about a month from the current planned date for Fedora 29 final release, and it's time to start banging out release notes. Anyone who wants to contribute should start here: https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/release-notes/issues 1. Pick one or more issues that have "F29" in the title. 2. Open each issue you picked, and click the Take button on the right to claim it. (If you claim an issue but later find out you don't have time to write about it, remove yourself from the issue ASAP so others can see it's free and take it!) 3. Find some information about the issue. A lot of them have plenty of info in them already; if not, find out who's responsible for the change, and talk to them on IRC or via mail. Of course it's always better if you try to do research before you ask questions. 4. Write a release note about the issue. If you're not sure how exactly a release note looks, check out some of the previous releases for inspiration. We don't want any long, overly technical texts, the release notes are meant to highlight changes, not tell people how to use something. 5. Now the workflow diverges based on your permissions and technical skills: 5a. If you know how to use git and asciidoc, we'd appreciate if you wrote up the release note and sent a pull request against the main repo, branch "f29". Note that we have a different directory structure for this release; your contributions should go into one of the files in "modules/release-notes/pages/". Use the "build.sh" and "preview.sh" scripts in the repository root to preview your changes locally; see the repository README for specific instructions. If you can't see the section where you added your contributions at all, make sure it's included in "modules/release-notes/nav.adoc". 5b. If the above sounds like gibberish to you, it's fine: just add a comment with your text into the issue, and ping me on IRC or through e-mail; I'll mark it up for you and make sure your contribution appears in the final document. If anyone has any questions, go ahead and ask. The current schedule shows the preferred final release target at October 23, giving us about a month and a half. Don't count on the release date slipping :). Happy writing! -- Petr Bokoč (pbokoc) Senior Technical Writer Community Platform Engineering Red Hat Czech, s. r. o.

The Telegram <-> IRC bridge is now up!
by Petr Bokoc 03 Oct '18

03 Oct '18

Hi everyone, The Telegram <-> IRC bridge for #fedora-docs is now up, so you can join the channel through Telegram: http://t.me/fedora_docs. This brings the Docs Project together with several other Fedora communities that already use the same setup for their channels. A full list of these is at: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Telegram If you're not familiar with Telegram, it's a chat protocol and a set of apps (for both mobile and desktop) that give you some advantages that IRC doesn't have (without a bouncer at least), namely that messages are stored persistently so you don't lose any conversations that happen when your IRC client isn't running. More info here: https://telegram.org/ Since this is a bridge, messages between Telegram and IRC are forwarded back and forth by a bot: fdocs-tg on IRC and #fedora-docs IRC bridge on Telegram. Pings work the same way they normally do, if you ping someone's username (not the bot), they'll get a notification if they haven't disabled them in their client. Direct messages (IRC /query and Secret Chat on Telegram) don't work between the two protocols, however. Cheers, Petr

There is ongoing work to support localization and translation for Fedora Docs, but it is not yet ready. I am not sure if Zanata will be used or not. See this thread for more info: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/docs@lists.fedoraproject.org/… I'm not sure if there is anything you can do to support the translations yet, but someone else on the list should be able to explain better than me. -- Cheers, Justin W.
