Release Notes Help - opportunity for new contributors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



There are still a few Release Notes beats that need a little love and
present an opportunity for new contributors, especially those who are
still a little squeamish on Publican or git.

On the beats page
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Documentation_beats
there are several beats where the "Wiki Good" column contains a red
zero.  These are prime candidates.

If you look at the beat page, it will contain links to a number of
feature pages.  These feature pages describe the feature, and often have
proposed release notes text.

If you choose to work on one of these, first, replace the red zero with
your nick so somebody else doesn't go working on the same beat.  Then
provide a short description for each feature.

Often, you can begin by simple pasting in the prose from the feature
page.  However, sometimes you will find that the prose needs a little
polish.  Other times it may be too terse and you will want to fill in a
little more detail based on the rest of the feature page.  Sometimes the
feature will be involved and you may want to provide links to more
detailed sources, possibly even the feature page.  Simply do what makes
sense.

When you have the wiki complete, mark the Wiki Good column with a 1.

If you are ambitious, you might then begin converting the wiki content
to Publican.  If you do, be sure to place the admonition at the top of
the wiki page that the content is stable (look at other completed wiki
pages for examples).

Once the conversion to XML is complete, place a 1 in the "In Publican"
column.

If you aren't comfortable with the Publican conversion, that's OK.  The
more experienced folks can do the conversion.  Some of these folks get
really good at it!

Thanks in advance for your help
