Hey, thanks for the status info from everyone! From my perspective, there are two main pieces of content that I'd like to suggest about focusing on: Release notes You are already on top of this for test2 by the sound of it. :-) The wiki seems like it will work for now until we can get CVS for y'all. We do need to figure out a good way to get change notices from the developers. The previous relnotes maintainer said one of his big frustrations was getting developers to respond to a request for notes. Release announcements The part where you get to have fun, be creative, and not work too hard. The Fedora marketing people may have input here, and some coordination with developers and mirror admins would be necessary. The way I imagine this working is that you could maintain a template 'announcement'. About a week before each release, you could start with the template fill in a few highlights from the relnotes, start creating the list of mirrors, and think up ideas for the "theme" of the announcement. The day before the release, you'd fill in the final list of mirrors, and then post the announcement on the day of the release. These are two ongoing things that happen over and over at every release point, and they really tie together as far as deadlines and content go. This is not meant to take away from the install guide work at all - it can still be worked on, and there's definitely a need for it. However, the install guide is a lot of work, and I'd rather see you guys do well at a few basic things than burn out not finishing a very big project. Once the Fedora docs project has grown to have more infrastructure and more contributors, you can add a focus on bigger projects like the install guide. One thing I did for the index.html page in FC4test1 was put in a link to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraDocsProject - hopefully that will help you get more contributors. These are just suggestions - you guys are the ones who are putting all the hard work in, and that means you get the final say (e.g. if the install guide is the only thing interesting to Stuart, it stands to reason that he's going to keep working on it :-) It's really cool to see people active in the docs project, and once docs CVS happens, hopefully you'll have other ideas about infrastructure you need to make FDP successful. Does this all make sense? Comments/questions welcome! -- Elliot
