The central project workflow page is [[DocsProject/WorkFlow| DocsProject/WorkFlow]] .
* '''[http://docs.fedoraproject.org find offical Fedora documentation.]'''
 
* '''[[:Category:Documentation|browse unofficial Fedora documentation.]]'''
== The Documents ==
 
Published documentation can be found on http://docs.fedoraproject.org or on this wiki under [[:Category:Documentation]].  Draft documentation can be found under [[:Category:Draft_Documentation]].
 
If you want to use DocBook XML for Fedora-based documentation, you can learn how using the [http://docs.fedoraproject.org/documentation-guide/ Documentation Guide] and a [http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewcvs/example-tutorial/en_US/example-tutorial2.xml?root=docs self-referential example tutorial] which is actually written in DocBook XML itself.  If you want to collaborate with other experienced writers working on official documentation using DocBook XML, you can find the latest in our [http://git.fedorahosted.org/git/docs/ git repositories on Fedora Hosted], or you might choose to resurrect an older document from [[DocsProject/CvsUsage | the Docs Project's CVS repository]].
 
If you prefer to write on the wiki, read the [[DocsProject/Writing_Using_The_Wiki | wiki guide]] that we've prepared.  It shows how to mark up text, where to store pages, and so forth.
 
=== Release Notes "Beats" ===
 
The [[Docs/Beats|  Beats]]  are the living documents that become the release notes for Fedora releases.  The process for creating the release notes is documented on the [[DocsProject/ReleaseNotes/Process| Release Notes process page]].  You can find writers of the Beats on the [[DocsProject/ReleaseNotes/Beats|  Beat Writers]] page.
 
You can help maintain [[Docs/Beats | the Beats]] on the wiki, but you should read the [[Docs/Beats/HowTo| Beat Writing How-To]] first.

Project Details

The mission of Fedora's Documentation Project is to improve the overall experience of Fedora users and contributors by providing documentation. We explain how to use certain software and systems, provide written accounts of special events (like releases), and recommend settings for software and systems (in terms of security, performance, and other concerns). In pursuing this work, the Docs Project creates and uses only free and open-source software, content, tools, and processes, so our documentation is reusable, modifiable, and rebuildable by anyone, for free, forever.
