Goals:
I have done much writing and editing and have had over 50 articles published
in mostly hard copy magazines. I am highly interested in writing about
Fedora and also programming, and games, and Wireless Internet. I have
specific knowledge on the installs on stand alone machines. I am willing to
write whatever is needed to help out.
Id like to see more documentation on installs, setting up wireless, and
other subjects, and id also like to see the accuracy of these documents
remain very, very high, both in spelling and in grammar.
I have an ambition to help out as much as i can. I love Linux and want to
spread the word about how great Linux is, at the same time as making it more
accessible to the general public. Part of the problems lie in the complex
nature of Linux and the huge number of separate resources needed to solve
problems. Id like to see these issues resolved and brought closer together
so that the resources can be found in one specific location, the Linux
Documentation Project. I want to see as many come over from Microsoft as is
possible to increase the numbers of users on Linux accessing great open
source applications.
Qualifications:
10 GCSE's - Notable A+ Information and Communications Technology, A -
English
2 A/S Levels
3 A-Levels, inc Computing and English Literature (B)
BA (Hons) Media Studies student (Start final year Sept 06)
14 years computer experience in building, repairing, upgrading PC's. Moved
into VB programming 7 years ago, moved onto C++, and am self teaching game
programming, and Perl and PHP. Started playing with Linux distros last year,
and work with Fedora Core 5. I have also started becoming highly active on
FedoraForum.org, and am looking to start Software testing for future OS's
and Editing for Fedora Documentation Project.
Due to my long experience as a freelance journalist and sub-editor i feel
like i can bring much to the project. I have a love for Fedora, Linux and
for the writing process. I enjoy all the aspects of working with Linux. I
have lots of qualification and experience with Media, and Journalism (Did my
first year on Journalism). My long experience with Operating Systems and
Hardware, i have a technical knowledge that will enhance the documentation
further.

Translations for European Portuguese
by Hugo Cisneiros
Hi,
Jose Nuno, I see you are commiting many changes to "pt.po" files for various
guides in the CVS. Can you confirm that they're fully translated and working?
If they are, I'll begin pushing it to the official page.
The perfect would be to someone translate the guide, and other review it.
Thanks!

City: Lochristi, Belgium (GMT + 1)
Student: Bachelor in Industrial Sciences (Industrial Engineer) at KAHO
Sint Lieven, Ghent
Goals with FDP:
---------------
I'd like to start translating the docs to Dutch (especially the
relnotes), because as far as I can see, this hasn't started yet and
because of a lot of questions coming my way from friends about the
reason why there isn't any official Dutch documentation on the Fedora
sites.
Qualifications:
---------------
Current Fedora Projects I'm in:
-> Translation (Dutch)
-> Kadischi
15 years of computer experience, starting with dos, windows later on
Linux (now almost 6 years, Fedora since FC2). Started programming in
PHP, moved on to JAVA and now also a little bit C, C# and C++. Planning
on learning Python this summer.

Section II. B. 1 2 and 3 of Documentation Guide V2
by Edward Haddock
Aloha all,
I have the aforementioned pieces done. It is mostly links to some other
pages and could be combined at some point. Please find it copied into
this email following. Hopefully this helps.
Mahalo,
Edward
=====
1.) The first step in joining the Fedora Documentation Project is to
join the community and engage in the discussion. Subscribe to the
fedora-docs-list, fedora-dsco-list and fedora-announce-list to keep up
to date and informed about the project and Fedora in general. The links
can be found at
https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list,
http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list and
https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-dsco-list. After visiting
the pages and filling in the needed information an automated email
message will be sent. Choose to follow the link or respond to the email
as outlined in the instructions contained in the emails. Please note
that to be part of the Fedora Documentation Project you have to join the
fedora-docs-list.
2.) Next, ensure that the proper tool chain is installed. The first
tools that should be installed are Yum and/or up2date. These Software
Management Utilities will ensure that all software packages are current
and aid in installing those not already installed. Both are installed by
default on Fedora Core 5 but this can be checked using rpm.
[edward@edward ~]$ rpm -qa up2date
up2date-4.4.23-4
[edward@edward ~]$ rpm -qa yum
yum-2.4.1-1.fc
Either package will work for managing software packages.
After that, setup Privacy Guard Software and utilities to manage the
GPG keys. Use GPG to identify yourself and authenticate your
communications, even with people you don't know. GPG allows anyone
reading a GPG-signed email to verify its authorship. In other words, GPG
allows someone to be reasonably certain that communications signed by
you actually come from you. GPG is useful because it helps prevent
mischievous third parties from polluting code or conversations by
masquerading as other entities. To participate in any part of the Fedora
Project,
- you should have a GPG key pair, and
- your public key must be available on pgp.mit.edu, a well-known public
keyserver.
Some Privacy Guard Software and Management Utilities include:
I.) GnuPG
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Cryptography has a wonderful explanation
on how to install openssh and GnuPG.
II.) Seahorse
Seahorse is a GUI utility to manage keys. Go to
http://seahorse.sourceforge.net/ for information on installing and using
this utility.
III.) KGpg
KGpg is the KDE GPG key manager and can be installed via yum if not
already installed. Information and instructions can be found at
http://developer.kde.org/~kgpg/
An editor also needs to be installed to work with documents. Vi, Emacs
and OpenOffice.org Writer will all work and it is mostly a matter of
preference. Last but certainly not least, see if a few handy utilities
to process documents are installed. CVS, xmlto and/or the Docbook files
to work with the Wiki are all useful and necessary.
3.) After GnuPG is installed go to
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/CreatingKeys and
follow the instructions there to generate a GPG key pair. For additional
information the Legacy site
http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legacy/PGPHowTo has a lot of good
information on key pair generation and use as well.
Then setup your email program to work with GnuPG so that signing and
verification of emails is possible. Instructions for each can be found
as follows:
I.) Evolution
A helpful page is located at
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/WithEvolution
II.) Thunderbird
Has help located here,
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/WithThunderbird
III.) Kmail
Located here
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/WithKmail is still a
work in progress and
IV.) Pine
Located here
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DocsProject/UsingGpg/WithKmail is also a
work in progress.

Hi Rodrigo,
The ${DOCBASE}.xml, entity files and fdp-info.xml are GENERATED files.
These should not be added to the repository!
Translations are to be added as po/${LANG}.po files only -- which
generates the XML document. The *.ent files are generated at build
time, from the local document entities (like doc-entities.xml), or
linked from other places (in the case of fdp-entities.ent). The
fdp-info.xml file is generated from the main rpm-info.xml file.
Make sure your po/pt_BR.po file is correct, then remove the pt_BR/
folder and its contents from the repository please. No judgments here
-- we realize the Documentation Guide is far out of date. Please feel
free to ask questions before you commit.
