This is just speaking for myself, not Red Hat, but I don't think there is any specific work being done outside this project (read: this mailing list) on a process as you describe - taking a document from idea through to publication. What you see in the Documentation Guide, on &FDP-URL[1];, and on this mailing list is it, afaik. This is not to say that we are without anything. There is some process inherent in the Documentation Guide. It looks as if we need to start work on some new chapters to the Doc Guide, such as "Chapter 11 Getting a Document From Idea to Publication", which details how we want to manage accepting submissions, editing, QA/QC, etc. Perhaps Chapter 12 Document Lifecycle, which details ongoing maintenance, upgrading, and support of a document once it's published. - Karsten [1] Just getting used to the new entities, for those who forgot that expands to http://fedora.redhat.com/projects/docs . -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, Tech Writer a lemon is just a melon in disguise http://people.redhat.com/kwade/ gpg fingerprint: 2680 DBFD D968 3141 0115 5F1B D992 0E06 AD0E 0C41
