Christopher,

I'll make sure the SELinux Guide is released for Fedora 17! And I'll be eagerly awaiting any kind of feedback once it's out ;)

Personally, I would appreciate a renewed "Security-Enhanced Linux:
User Guide," which hasn't been published since Fedora 13.

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?

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?
