I thought it might be a fine idea to get "spot's" stuff from the Wiki integrated in it wherever necessary and reasonable; that may already be done, but I haven't read through the whole thing. Certainly we're happy to house it, as long as there's a mintainer! :-) There are a few docs people who are maintainers in Extras CVS, so certainly someone can be roped into helping out. > The packager's handbook does not need anything right now, but if people > see it being useful and fits the plans of the docs project, I'd be > interested in contributing every now and then in order to "finish" it > and make it generally better.

We have a steering committee meeting this afternoon, and I'll work on getting some additional components that are appropriate for this kind of bug, and post here to the list with a Cc to you. Then you can file the bug under Fedora Documentation with summary "New document: Packagers Handbook" or some such. > > And, out of curiosity, why don't we see a record of this on > > fedora-docs-commits? > > It was a direct CVS repository copy from cvs.fedora.us in order to > preserve history, not the usual add + commit. Cool, thanks for the info. I am not a big CVS junkie, so I didn't even realize one could do this! > (Please Cc me in replies, I'm not subscribed to the docs list at the > moment.
