Thank you for mentioning this, I shall be more active on the fedora-docs channel. I wonder how many people are interested in a sandbox doc for the whole community. I can play with Publican and a git repository on my computer if I am the only one who wants to do this. If anybody else is interested in this, then probably we can try a git repository using a fedorapeople account. -Dilip (kambu) -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
