Revision as of 18:20, 25 July 2008
- This is already way better than what we have (which is nothing).
- When you are satisfied with the result please rename the page so its entry in the fonts packaging index looks good.
- Do not refer to fonts as software, some authors disagree with this (even though smart font instructions are software)
- OK, fixed. -- PWF
- I'm not sure a font author will think of his release as a "package"
- OK, fixed. -- PWF
- Many authors won't have the faintest idea what Fedora is some Linux/OLPC/Red Hat references may help
- OK, added some reference to what Fedora is, and a link to our Overview page. -- PWF
- Very often we do not know that foo is derived from bar — that's one of the questions we want to ask authors
- OK, added an example. -- PWF
- It's often difficult to explain why we do not want to use pre-build hand-tuned fonts and insist on rebuilding from fontforge sources (when they are available)
- If you could try, I'll clean up the text. -- PWF
- It's often very difficult to explain why forgetting to version archives or font files makes packager life hard
- If you could try, I'll clean up the text. -- PWF
- Maybe some reference to Archive_template_for_fonts ?
- If that's a work in progress, it may be confusing to people who aren't FOSS-aware. Should that be completed first so it's more educational for font authors who aren't FOSS-aware?
