The draft marking is part of the CSS, and if I remember correctly you won't see it when you post on docs.fp.o since there's a style sheet provided there automatically, site-wide. This publishing happens after translation. > Then I presume we need to get the changes translated. This happens before any other publishing -- leaving enough time for translators to work on the content. We're pretty far into the F11 development cycle so you'll want to talk to the translators on fedora-trans-list to see how much time they feel they need. If you can give an idea of how extensive the changes are (how many string changes in the POT?), that should help. > And then turned into a package. This can happen parallel to the web publishing, after translation. > So what are all these hidden steps that Paul and Karsten have been doing > in the dead of night? The web publishing is really nothing fancy. I think the steps are in the Documentation Guide, also published at docs.fp.o. The packaging is also less radical than you might think. I'm responsible for the fedora-release-notes package and can help with the updating of the RPM once the translation is done and the publishing is underway. -- Paul W.
