Does anyone have any ideas? Specifically with regard to wiki additions, it would not be impossible for either a plugin to assemble a list of names who contributed to beats that became guides -- but there would need to be a set of rules so that minor proofing edits (punctuation, spelling, rephrasing, etc.) were identified in a different class from the main content contributions. Anyway, the basic idea I have to simplify things is have a plugin which generates a back-page on the wiki, say on a tab next to the "discussion" back page (or drops a file somewhere, or whatever), that contains a list of names with contribution category tags (edit, proofing, writer, etc.) if possible. That list would be folded into the attribution page/section of the formal documentation and we'd at least know who was involved in writing what. This may be too simple in theory and too complex to implement (that is, a bad idea) but an idea it is, no less. -Iwao -- docs mailing list docs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/docs
