As promised, I'm catching up on sending out meeting summaries. The notes below 
will cover the most recent 25 March meeting as well as last week's 18 March 
meeting.


- - 18 March 2013 -

We talked about the progress towards changing our publishing platform. It was 
generally decided that Rudi had things well in hand, but that we'd like to 
know what was going on. Lnovich offered to track him down.

I brought up a thread on devel@ containing a proposal for a help center 
desktop application, which you can read at 
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-March/180093.html or 
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Design/Help_Center_Idea . I expressed concern 
that unvalidated content from ask.fp.o would take semantic precedence over 
curated content from the docs writers, and urged the other members to comment 
on the proposal with their own thoughts.

The group graciously accepted nagging about Release Note beats.

jreznik asked us to review his comments on the docs list, and the wiki page 
for the changes process. The general feeling has been that we would like help 
with raw content, and want developers to know don't expect polish.

The meeting ended a bit late, apologies to the QA team. Zodbot asked us to 
read some links as the meeting closed:

The new publishing platform was on the table again. lnovich spoke with Rudi 
about it, as did I. The end result will give us a very simple and effective 
publishing process that our RH contributors will probably find familiar. If I'm 
recalling it correctly, some magic of publican and git combines to allow us to 
publish a single translation of a document with a single command, nicely 
wrapping up the RPM packaging process, building in git, and installing to 
production in one go.  

rbergeron stopped by, and we touched on the Changes/Feature process. [ I'm 
still not sure of the appropriate name for it! ]  We need to make a point to 
validate the information we pull out of the Feature pages into the beats at 
each release stage, because the former is dynamic and the latter has  been... 
less dynamic.

shaiton valiantly volunteered to clean up the duplicate language teams on 
transifex.  It looks like much of that has been completed by the time I sat 
down to write the summary - thanks shaiton!
