At the moment, I'm using the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/BeatStatus page to keep track of the Beats before converting. The idea seems to be to check when it was last edited, and see if there is any old content that should be removed; however, for the preview notes, I don't see this step as being vital, since people can say "this is old" afterwards, and the old content can be removed before GA. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Wiki2XML is a good reference to check each page. If you want to add "Docs/Beats.*" and "Docs/Beat.*" to your watch list, you will be able to see if anyone adds anything at the last minute. I have been leaving notes on BeatsStatus to try and remind me what to do. If a page hasn't changed much, to save having to recheck the markup, you can just fix/make additions to the existing ones, which will also save converting again. I haven't checked the pages Karsten made from gobby today...I have a heap of notes, so if anything is missing, I'll try to add them soon. I think basic process (please correct if wrong) is as follows: 1. clean up existing content (make sure markup/grammar/etc is correct: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/Wiki2XML) 2. after the freeze, check out release-notes-devel from CVS. 3. Follow the steps here to create a beats folder, pull down the current wiki, and then convert to xml: http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/release-notes/devel/xmlbeats/steps-to-convert-FC7.txt?root=docs&view=markup (the beatconvert and xmlfix tools are in the release-notes-devel/release-notes/xmlbeats/ directory). 4. check BeatsStatus to see which pages have already been fixed/tagged, and add additions where required... 5. check the tags on newly converted pages. 6 run "make pot" 7. check into CVS and notify l10n. There is 1 day (between 2359 UTC on 2008-03-16 and 2359 UTC 2008-03-17) for steps 2-7. Maybe before then, we could decide what pages (XML) we want to do, or just let everyone else know which ones we are looking at... I hope some of that made sense. Please let me know if it didn't. Thanks again for your help.
