renaming - let's do it
by Karsten Wade 04 Jan '09

04 Jan '09

Now that F10 release is no longer a distraction ... ... and new people are using the wiki to find stuff and cannot ... ... let's finish the wiki renaming, at least to the degree we can. Any sense of where we are in this process? I, for example, know we do not have the DocsProject.* pages PSV file updated. I can take that to f-docs-l for discussion/decision. - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener http://quaid.fedorapeople.org AD0E0C41

[a.badger@gmail.com: Packaging Guidelines Organization]
by Ian Weller 13 Dec '08

Pertains to the wiki, moving from f-docs-l to here. ----- Forwarded message from Toshio Kuratomi <a.badger(a)gmail.com> ----- Delivered-To: ianweller(a)gmail.com Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2008 09:50:22 -0800 From: Toshio Kuratomi <a.badger(a)gmail.com> User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.18 (X11/20081119) To: fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com Cc: Tom spot Callaway <tcallawa(a)redhat.com> Subject: Packaging Guidelines Organization Precedence: junk Reply-To: For participants of the Documentation Project <fedora-docs-list(a)redhat.com> Errors-To: fedora-docs-list-bounces(a)redhat.com Howdy folks, I'm on the Fedora Packaging Committee and we are in desperate need of some docs help. We manage the Packaging Guidelines which help packagers and reviewers create quality packages for Fedora. Unfortunately, as time has progressed the Guidelines have grown larger and larger in an "organic" fashion. In order to keep the policies managable for people new to Fedora we need to organize them somehow. There's several threads in this: 1) We want something that helps the packager and reviewer find all the Guidelines that apply to the package that they are working on but not to the ones they are not. So we need some sort of navigation based on questions the packager and reviewer can answer about the packages: General Review Items What programming languages is this written in? Is this a library or an application? 2) We want to have a checklist of items to look at with more in-depth information about why a Guideline exists available to those who want to know more. 3) Some of our extra information is more HOWTO-oriented. For instance, the section on Package Naming talks about how to choose a name for a package and how to structure the version strings so that they are always upgradable. If we could get someone to help us work out this restructuring I'm here to work on these things from the FPC side.

front page redesign mockup
by Máirín Duffy 12 Dec '08

12 Dec '08

Hey, A couple folks had complained that they couldn't easily find the information they were looking for in the wiki. They needed development information about F11. So I put together a quick mockup. I don't know if this would be useful for you but maybe it's some good food for thought. Feel free to do whatever you want with it :) The main idea behind it is to post links for and information about the currently-released as well as the currently-in-development release prominently. === Attached is a mockup for a reformulation of the main content area of the wiki front page. In the interest of time I didn't muck with the left hand nav but it definitely looks like it needs to go on a diet, in text form here's what I'd advise: Wiki ==== - Main Page <= might be better to reword to "Wiki Home" or "Wiki Front Page" - News <= fine - Events <= fine - Features <= I'd remove it - Recent changes <= move to the footer - Random page <= move to the footer - Help <= fine Navigation ========== - Home <= should be reworded to something like "Fedora Homepage" - Get Fedora <= fine - Join Fedora <= fine Subprojects <= these are all fine `m

[trac@fedorahosted.org: Re: [Fedora Infrastructure] #588: change wiki config to create QA namespace]
by Karsten Wade 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

Just on time to discuss ... We were the ones that suggested the QA: namespace in the first place. I'm going to comment on the ticket and make sure the use case remains the same. ----- Forwarded message from Fedora Infrastructure <trac(a)fedorahosted.org> ----- From: Fedora Infrastructure <trac(a)fedorahosted.org> Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2008 21:19:42 -0000 Subject: Re: [Fedora Infrastructure] #588: change wiki config to create QA namespace To: undisclosed-recipients: ; #588: change wiki config to create QA namespace -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Reporter: wwoods | Owner: nigelj Type: change | Status: assigned Priority: major | Milestone: Component: Web Application | Version: Severity: Normal | Resolution: Keywords: wiki | -----------------------------+---------------------------------------------- Comment (by wwoods): Boing!

Hey! Let's write some policy! (namespace approval/creation)
by Ian Weller 10 Dec '08

10 Dec '08

So we need to come up with a policy for the community creating new namespaces on the wiki. Namespaces are like User:, Talk:, and Archive:. Archive: is a good example of a custom namespace that doesn't come built with MediaWiki that we decided we needed. Mike McGrath wants to create a Zodbot: namespace so we can have a '.felp' command with Zodbot that'll pass a wiki link back to a user. The first step for us is making that namespace... Here's my thinking -- 1. Namespace and reasoning gets proposed to fedora-wiki (like I did up there). Perhaps we need something like [Namespace] at the beginning of the subject line. 2. It gets discussed. 3. It gets voted on by FDSCo or other notable people or on the mailing list. (This starts the part that I'm not sure about.) 4. A ticket gets filed with Infrastructure to create the new namespace. Infrastructure will be instructed that certain people must link to the mailing list thread archive that shows that the prooposal was approved by the Docs project within that ticket. 5. Profit! What do you all think? -- Ian Weller <ianweller(a)gmail.com> http://ianweller.org GnuPG fingerprint: E51E 0517 7A92 70A2 4226 B050 87ED 7C97 EFA8 4A36 "Technology is a word that describes something that doesn't work yet." ~ Douglas Adams
