Fedora Insight (FI) is a website that serves as a place to publish and share news, articles related to Fedora and [[Marketing|Fedora marketing materials]] in various formats. It makes it easy for users, developers, and journalists - people who aren't yet a part of the Fedora contributor community - to keep up with the goings on of the community without following a dozen different blogs and mailing lists.

This wiki page is for people interested in working on and contributing to Fedora Insight itself; the site is a project that requires collaboration between many teams ([[FWN]], [[Marketing]], [[Websites]], [[Design]], [[Infrastructure]], etc.), so this is our central landing spot.

== Goals ==
{{Anchor|Agenda}}


Our next milestone is to migrate the [[FWN|Fedora Weekly News]] workflow and publication to Fedora Insight before '''June 15, 2010.'''
== Meeting agenda ==
 
The milestone after that is that we want to be able to:
# promote a Planet story to a separate Insight feed without having to copy/paste or retype it, and
# both this content stream and the FWN can be visible/RSS at once
by '''July 15, 2010.'''
<!-- The milestone after that is to get all pre-beta F13 Marketing deliverables published on Fedora Insight before '''Beta Release Public Availability (April 6, 2010).''' -->


Milestones beyond this are discussed on the [[Talk:Fedora Insight#Potential milestones|talk page]].
* Review previous action items -- [http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2012-01-03/insight.2012-01-03-21.00.html Previous meeting]

Fedora Insight is based on [http://zikula.org zikula], an open source php-based content management system (CMS). We are working with the [http://community.zikula.org upstream zikula community] to make sure we deploy their software "The Right Way," and that the work we do benefits upstream as much as possible.
We're also starting to look forward to Drupal 7, and have started documenting critical path requirements for a future migration to Drupal 7 from Dupal 6:


The zikula community seems to do most of their support on the [http://community.zikula.org/module-Forum.htm zikula community forums]. (We need help learning how to be good ambassadors to upstream!)
* [[Insight Drupal 7 Dependencies]]
 
If you're from the zikula community, or interested in being a Fedora ambassador to zikula, start by following the [[#How to help]] instructions for introducing yourself to the logistics mailing list, and mention that you'd like to help with the zikula community end of things.
 
=== Design ===
 
The [[Design]] team is responsible for making our site theme. You can see the work that needs to be done at the [https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&keywords=%7Einsight&order=priority list of FI tickets in the Design trac instance].
 
In order to help with the theme, you'll have to first set up a [[How to set up a Zikula sandbox|local copy of zikula]] on your computer.
 
Once you have a local copy of zikula set up, you'll need to check out the current theme files. The repo is located at git://git.fedoraproject.org/git/fedora-insight-theme.git.
 
You can checkout the theme anonymously using
 
<code>
git clone git://git.fedoraproject.org/git/fedora-insight-theme.git
</code>
 
Alternatively, people who are a part of the (FAS) group gitfedora-insight-theme can check out
using
 
<code>
git clone ssh://git.fedoraproject.org/git/fedora-insight-theme.git
</code>
 
Once you have checked out the files for the theme, install the theme as follows:
 
# Copy the "fedora" folder within the checkout you just downloaded into the '''zikula/theme''' folder in your local zikula sandbox install (/usr/share/zikula/theme or /var/www/zikula/theme are common locations).
# Log into your local zikula sandbox instance as an administrator.
# Go to Administration > Layout > Theme, then click the green checkmark next to the name of the theme you want (fedora).
 
'''FIXME -- need instructions on how to contribute patches to the theme back to the git repo, and whether the trac ticket should be updated (answer: yes), and whether the logistics list should be notified (answer: yes).'''
 
=== Infrastructure ===
 
The Infrastructure team is helping us get Fedora Insight up on production (and keep it running there).
 
The master ticket is at [https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/1615 Infrastructure Trac #1615], but if you're looking to help out, it's best to see our [https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/query?status=new&status=assigned&status=reopened&keywords=%7EZikula&keywords=%7EFedora+Insight&order=priority the Trac query].

This project is no longer active. We're now working on Fedora Magazine instead.

Fedora Insight is a Drupal-based website that serves as a place to publish and share news, articles related to Fedora and Fedora marketing materials in various formats. Insight makes it easy for users, developers, and journalists -- people who aren't yet a part of the Fedora contributor community -- to keep up with recent highlights without following a dozen different blogs and mailing lists.

This wiki page is for people interested in working on and contributing to Fedora Insight itself.

How to help

Personal Information
Fedora is a very visible and transparent project. Its mailing lists are archived and mirrored in many places on the internet outside of our control. Please use caution when sharing personal information with Fedora on a mailing list, because it is not possible for us to remove any postings from the wider Internet universe after they are sent. For more details, please refer to Fedora's Privacy Policy.

Decide what you want to do

I want to work on the theme and appearance of Insight. Join the Design team, and look at our page on How to work on the Insight theme.
I want to help develop and maintain the Insight system. Introduce yourself to the team (see below), and look at our page on How to develop for Insight.
I want to represent Fedora in the Drupal community. Join the Ambassadors team -- being a Fedora representative is more than just being a fan. We would love to have you on our team once you are versed in how the project works.

Become part of our team

  1. Join the logistics mailing list and introduce yourself. Let us know:
    • Your name
    • Your skills/experiences/interests -- Even if you're active within another Fedora team, there may be other Fedora folks who haven't had the chance to meet you yet, so let them know who you are and that you're around!
    • The first task or ticket you plan to work on (see "Current issues" above) -- if you want to work on something else, tell us what it is
  2. (optional) Check out any other #Communications channels that you might be interested in.

Development

If you know something about Drupal or are a fast learner, we welcome you! We are working on designing the next group of features for Insight. Here are the use cases we've outlined thus far:

We're also starting to look forward to Drupal 7, and have started documenting critical path requirements for a future migration to Drupal 7 from Dupal 6:

Marketing

The Marketing team will be publishing its release deliverables on Fedora Insight, and will be the second users of the platform after #FWN.

We're currently figuring out additional content (other than our release deliverables) that would go into the #Content_workflow. Our current thinking is several ideas that have been filed as multiple tickets in the Marketing trac instance.

If you want to help with the Marketing side of things, do the following:

  1. Follow the instructions in the #How to help section of this page.
  2. Join the Marketing team, if you aren't already a member.
  3. Email the marketing list and let the Marketing team know you're interested in helping with Fedora Insight.

Packaging

We could always use packaging help for Drupal and related modules. If you see an unassigned (NEW) bug in this tracking list, that means there is a package review needed so we can make more progress. The Package Review Process page will show you how to do a review. It takes some time to do a good package review, but in the process you can learn some technical skills and about how this process ensures a good experience for Fedora users installing software.

Content workflow

This is a content workflow envisioned for Fedora Insight.
