This is the main page for Docs Project 2014 FAD, which is a FAD focused on Fedora Documentation.

Purpose

• Develop a plan to put a new build system with Publican3/Publican4 into production

• Work on training materials for new contributors.
  • Firm up SOPs on wiki and get them into the Documentation Guide
• Discuss presentation of short-form content, ie tutorials

The Plan

Because it's expensive to fly people over the ocean we'll have two FADs simultaneously linked by video and data feeds. The two sites will be Brno, CZ and Raleigh, NC. Rudi may also look into linking the Brisbane office and involving people there.
