''Tasks currently target: Fedora 9 User Guide''
== Task List ==


== New contributor tasks ==
The task list below has four stages:
;Fact Check: This stage just changes all factual information so that it syncs up with the facts for F12.  If the default browser happens to be Dillo instead of Firefox for this release, the Fact Check stage should reflect this after completion.


=== Writing and editing tasks ===
;(Re)write Chapter: This stage is for two things: re-fact checking and then editing the formatting and organization of sections so that it lines up with all of our conventions.  This could mean anything from fixing headers to putting in admons (like the ones at the bottom of this page) to making sure that the standard installation process is referenced instead of including it inline.
'''''Note:''''' When fact checking, make sure you find all the references to Pirut/Pup.  That's one of the biggest changes from the old UG to F9.

When flagging content that needs to be updated, include as much detail as you have available.  Use this format to write a comment directly in the body of the content, in the location you are flagging as needing an update:

== Notes to Contributors ==
=== Application Installations ===
Whenever we discuss an application not installed by default, we should put a note about having to install it.  The note should look like this:
* To install the package '''claws-mail''', read [[User Guide - Managing Software|the chapter on managing software]].  You can install '''claws-mail''' by either [[User Guide - Managing Software#Installing Software|using the PackageKit application]] or on the command line by [[User Guide - Managing Software#Installing Software 2|using Yum]].  More information about Claws Mail is available at: http://claws-mail.org/.
Of course, this should be edited according to the application name, package name, and application home page, but try to use this template for consistency's sake.
* Also note that I just made this convention up, so don't feel like you should have known this before.  If you have suggestions or comments, let me know.

=== Project management tasks ===
=== Advanced Topics ===
Whenever we add something that would be nice to have in the user's guide but isn't necessary for the basic desktop user who just migrated fresh from Windows (example: discussion of FTP programs, advanced discussion of yum on the command line), we should add a template to let the confused user know not to worry about this section if they don't want to.  This is what I've come up with right now:
{{Admon/important|Advanced Usage|This content is written for the more advanced user.  It assumes that you are comfortable with the command line and have a relatively good knowledge of Linux terminology.  It is probably not necessary to using Fedora as a desktop user, but can help a desktop user expand his or her knowledge base and face more complicated troubleshooting issues.}}
That, again, is just my current idea until someone suggests or comments on that.  Let me know in IRC or on the list.

Tasks currently target: Fedora 12 User Guide

Task List

The task list below has four stages:

Fact Check
This stage just changes all factual information so that it syncs up with the facts for F12. If the default browser happens to be Dillo instead of Firefox for this release, the Fact Check stage should reflect this after completion.
(Re)write Chapter
This stage is for two things: re-fact checking and then editing the formatting and organization of sections so that it lines up with all of our conventions. This could mean anything from fixing headers to putting in admons (like the ones at the bottom of this page) to making sure that the standard installation process is referenced instead of including it inline.
Edit/Wordsmith
This is for the English majors. Make the page grammatically sound while keeping our conventions and a technical writing style in mind. Extra points go for stylizing the writing as long as it doesn't conflict with the core goals of readability and simplicity in comprehension.

Advanced Topics

Whenever we add something that would be nice to have in the user's guide but isn't necessary for the basic desktop user who just migrated fresh from Windows (example: discussion of FTP programs, advanced discussion of yum on the command line), we should add a template to let the confused user know not to worry about this section if they don't want to. This is what I've come up with right now:

Advanced Usage
This content is written for the more advanced user. It assumes that you are comfortable with the command line and have a relatively good knowledge of Linux terminology. It is probably not necessary to using Fedora as a desktop user, but can help a desktop user expand his or her knowledge base and face more complicated troubleshooting issues.

That, again, is just my current idea until someone suggests or comments on that. Let me know in IRC or on the list. --Danielsmw 15:08, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
