The consensus for working on the Fedora Administration Guide is to break it down into modules. A contributor works on one or more modules. Each module is one or more chapters in a particular topic area. This is similar to how Docs/Beats/ turns into the release notes, except it is conceivable to have multiple chapters in a module. There are a number of you who have expressed interest in working on this guide. Congratulations, you are now all on the team. :) Please fill in this page: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/AdministrationGuide/Contributors Work out amongst yourselves who is going to do what. If you wish, you can select a lead writer[0]. Each module needs a technical editor and a wordsmith editor; you can use each other, etc. Use this list for discussions; we'd all like to see what is going on.[1] When you are ready, we can create a component in bugzilla.redhat.com for this guide. That allows you to use bugzilla as a task tracker that is tied into other parts of Fedora, which continues to be used when the content is bundled as XML in CVS, and eventually tracks bugs when the content is a package in F*7.[2] - Karsten [0] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Roles/LeadWriter [1] Anyone who wants to watch this guide get worked on can subscribe to watch the page changes by: 1. Go to http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/UserPreferences 2. At the bottom of the page under 'Subscribed wiki pages (one regex per line)', put in the regular expression: Docs/Drafts/AdministrationGuide.* 3. Click 'Save' The regexp .* is a wildcard, similar to using * to mean any character any number of times. [2] I think you are going to quickly find the limitations of doing a full-length book in the Wiki. Based on the topic outline I've seen so far, the high level of experience on the writing team, and the user need ... there is easily 100 pages of content you can create. Keep that in mind as you move forward; you can pull the switch and convert to XML at any time. -- Karsten Wade, RHCE, 108 Editor ^ Fedora Documentation Project Sr. Developer Relations Mgr. | fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject quaid.108.redhat.com | gpg key: AD0E0C41 ////////////////////////////////// \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
