Еженедельные новости Fedora: рабочий процесс (Fedora Weekly News: Work Flow)

Рабочий процесс для писателей и редакторов еженедельных новостей Fedora.

Ритм написания новостей

Определённые числа

Все работают над новостными абзацами Beats в течении всей недели до воскресенья 11:59 PM по Североамериканскому восточному времени. По завершению абзаца, его автор меняет статус с "не завершено" на "завершено" Beat Sections Table. Это говорит редактором о том, что изменений в статье больше не будет, пока автор не сообщит команде редакторов.

Стиль и форматирование

Вы можете помочь процессу редактирования, помня несколько правил оформления во время написания:

• FWN старается придерживаться StyleGuide. Авторы должны знать это и стараться держать в голове некоторые элементы, когда пишут.

• Рекоммендуется, чтобы цитаты и ссылки в работе использовали синтаксис из модуля MediaWiki - cite.php. Выделяйте любую ссылку, которую вы цитируете, открывающимся и закрывающимся тэгом ссылки, а также после текста необходимо поставить закрывающийся тэг ссылок под абзацем. Например, посмотрите на синтаксис и результат, приведённые ниже:

Sample showing markup and displayed output from use of cite.php reference markup

Markup	==== Title of Some Item in Beat ==== Here is some text and it includes a reference<ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Main_Page</ref> to the main page of the Fedora Project. It also contains another reference <ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN</ref> to Fedora Weekly News itself. <references/>
Output	Title of Some Item in Beat Here is some text and it includes a reference to the main page of the Fedora Project. It also contains another reference to Fedora Weekly News itself.

• For references to people who are members of the Fedora Project community, it is good to insert references back to their wikiname pages. It is preferred that this is done with their User namespace, e.g.

  [[User:fasname|Joe Bloggs]]

  . A fallback for those who have not migrated their wikiname pages to the User namespace is to use their camel case name followed by the person's name with the first and last name separated by a space, eg.

  [[JoeSmith|Joe Smith]]

  .

• Another consistency point is what tense the writing is in. Write in the past tense, since the News is covering events that have already happened.

• If you can make your beat more narrative and summary, this will be more readable. When reporting on long exchanges or discussions amongst many people, try to write concisely, reporting on the most salient points.

Editorial Passes (Sun - Mon)

The editorial team starts copying the contents from beats to live issue page (with editorial pass) and a goal to have a rough draft by Monday morning Eastern Time.

An editorial pass should ideally consist of editing the submissions to conform to the StyleGuide, ensuring that the link references appear to be accurate and fixing up any obvious typos or grammatical errors. Other common corrections include: ensuring that there is no space between a citation in square brackets and the preceding word, making sure the wikinames of mentioned people are correct, and making sure that the list of URL references is separated with a complete newline between each reference.

Submit the News (Mon)

There are two wiki tasks to do to get the news formatted for the next issue: 1) create a new FWN issue page for the upcoming issue 2) update the redirect so that the https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/LatestIssue points to the new issue.

Creating a New Fedora Weekly News Page for the new issue

1. Log into the wiki with your wiki credentials

2. Navigate to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/IssueXXX where XXX is the upcoming issue number

3. Edit the new page; open a second tab in your browser to FWN/Beats and copy the source from each COMPLETED beat one after another, into the page edit you have open in the other tab for the upcoming issue; be sure to preserve the section anchors to ensure correct formatting

4. Save the page after you have copied the last beat into the new page

Editing the Redirect to Point to the New Issue

While still logged in to your Fedora Project wiki account, navigate your browser to https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=FWN/LatestIssue&redirect=no

Edit the page here to point to the new https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FWN/IssueXXX where XXX is the upcoming issue number. Save the page.

Uploading Files for the Webcomic (or other images)

Save image file from original source to desktop.

Browse to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Special:Upload

Then link the image using

[[File:nameofimage]]

Sending New Issue Out to fedora-announce-list

Finally, the editorial team submits the weekly news as a mailshot in plaintext to fedora-announce-list and fedora-news-list before Monday afternoon Eastern Time. This is handled by Pascal Calarco or Adam Williamson, whomever is available. If someone else needs to send this out who is not approved to post to the list, Max Spevack or another list admin can approve the message to the list.

Formatting the plaintext mailshot

Copying the printable version of the issue from the browser into an e-mail and cleaning up some of the remaining wikilinks seems to produce clean enough output for mailing. We send out the entire contents of the issue to fedora-announce-list.

Clean-up actions necessary to produce plaintext may include the following:

• The "up-arrow" anchors beside each reference need to be removed. This can be done in a variety of ways. Using vim the easiest way is to do a regex substitution for the numeric reference:

  s/Ctrl-v u 2191//g

  .

• Anything marked-up as a package will need to have the package-name tags removed

• Check for HTML character entity markup

Copy issue to appropriate news outlets

A CC: of the mailshot can be sent to the following addresses: distro@distrowatch.com news@phoronix.com editor@lxer.com
