Issues with docs.fedoraproject.org
Post the redesign of the docs.fedoraproject.org main page, Domingo Becker informed about some errors being displayed in the Installation Guide and Installation Quick Start Guide for Fedora 11[1]. Ruediger Landmann explained that this error was often caused due to complicated format in which .po files needed to be merged and then divided back to suit the requirement of documentation compilation tool, publican[2]. Additionally, he also mentioned that errors such as these can be filed as bugs in bugzilla.redhat.com.
Meanwhile, John J. McDonough has been running automatic updates for the Fedora 12 Release Notes. Translation errors (if any) affecting the build are reported directly to the fedora-trans mailing list[3][4].
