User:Laubersm/Documentation User Guide Update Checklist

April 22-26 items:

• KDE is with alpha background... should be updated once more.

• Add chapter on printing https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=508025 - Unless there is a volunteer, will be left for F14.

• update and/or close bugs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=MODIFIED&bug_status=ON_DEV&bug_status=ON_QA&bug_status=VERIFIED&bug_status=RELEASE_PENDING&component=user-guide&product=Fedora%20Documentation&classification=Fedora

admin tasks TODO

• Find out where git commits are going - ie not to someplace I am already subscribed to
• Figure out Trac. https://fedorahosted.org/userguide/ looks like it was used briefly with F9 wiki -> xml conversion and that is all. Start with can I edit main page or how to I gain access to edit main page.
• Create wiki page with procedures and general task lists for managing the user guide. Point to trac and bugzilla and git.

What you need

Need F13 box (Virtual Machine is fine)

It may also be useful to keep an eye on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F13_bugs

submitting updates

All edits should be done in xml/docbook/git (master branch)

If you do not have commit access, please submit a git formatted patch to the docs mailing list or in bugzilla

git diff > mypatch-chaptername

Then attach mypatch-chaptername

If you submit enough, do not be surprised if you are given commit access.

If you cannot provide a git formatted patch, do not let that stop you, submit suggestions, paragraphs, fixes, anyway possible.
