Hi:
I won't be at the FUDCon Malaysia, but this sounds like a VERY GOOD
IDEA!!!
What about mass editing at future FUDCons? We have lots of Guides at
various states of being out-dated, and we could really improve the
state of the documentation simply by publishing all of what we already
have.
I'll trial it at this FUDCON and if it's successful we can do it at
future ones. A "book per FUDCON" would rock. The new tool* is all about
breaking down large documentation projects into microtasks that can be
completed in parallel, so it's a good use case.
The resulting doc will still require an editor, obviously; but it's a
good way to harness the critical mass of a FUDCON.
What current or potential docs could do with the love this time round?

* We're still looking for a name - suggestions welcome!

I have an idea for an interesting technological and social
experiment around docs for the Malaysia FUDCON.
We have a topic-based authoring tool that we're using to develop
documentation inside Red Hat at the moment, called Topika.
Last year I sponsored an intern project to integrate it with FAS,
so it has a FAS authentication module.
I can spin up an instance in OpenShift or EC2 with FAS auth, we can
choose a book that we'd like to see for Fedora, and one that
matches the prevalent area of interest / expertise of the attendees
of the FUDCON.
Then I can design the topic map for the book.
Then at the FUDCON we work with the organisers to make it a feature
of the FUDCON that we will crowdsource the book in the three days
of the FUDCON. Every attendee can log into the Topika instance with
their FAS account, and write one (1) topic, using the supplied
template.
We'll rebuild the book every five minutes on a stage so that
attendees can view the progress.
If it works, then it could a viable way to get a book per FUDCON.
What do you think?
