I'll be gone half June 23:17:05 <Sparks> ok 23:17:16 <ke4qqq> might be worth a reminder - release clouds everythin 23:17:17 <ke4qqq> g 23:17:32 <Sparks> #action jjmcd to have doc-publican-rpm packaged and submitted for review by 14 July 23:17:44 <jjmcd> That is actually on my to-do coming up within the enxt few days 23:17:54 <Sparks> #info Waiting on spot's work on fedora-logos 23:18:33 <Sparks> Okay, anything else on this? 23:18:46 <nb> since jjmcd is already a packager, anyone can review it (any other packager, so me, rlandmann, sparks, ke4qqq) 23:19:08 * Sparks isn't comfortable with reviewing it... 23:19:09 <nb> FYI if anyone wants to package a new doc or something, feel free to ping me, as of this morning I am a sponsor 23:19:20 <Sparks> congrats! 23:19:21 <jjmcd> Spot agreed to review it 23:19:25 <ke4qqq> nb: congrats 23:19:26 <nb> jjmcd, oh ok 23:19:31 <jjmcd> hey, congrats nb 23:19:49 <jjmcd> offerred even 23:19:52 <nb> thanks 23:20:07 <Sparks> Okay, anything else? 23:20:23 <Sparks> #topic CMS 23:20:46 <Sparks> #info CMS == Content Management System 23:21:06 <Sparks> Okay, so we've been trying to stand up Zikula as our CMS solution... 23:21:21 <Sparks> but now we have Publican generating the front-end for docs.fp.o 23:21:37 <Sparks> So my question is... do we still need to be working on Zikula for docs.fp.o? 23:22:02 <ke4qqq> is there anything missing from publican that zikula provides that we can't live without? 23:22:19 * Sparks isn't sure 23:22:34 * ke4qqq is happy with publican, but I haven't done any work, just looked at shiny 23:22:38 <ke4qqq> rudi: ?? 23:22:43 <nb> rudi, did you get a chance to talk to jeff yet about what it would take to use koji for docs? 23:22:46 <Sparks> ke4qqq: Publican doesn't provide a text (web) editor. 23:22:52 <Sparks> But I don't know that we need one. 23:22:55 <rudi> Nothing that I'm aware of 23:23:12 <rudi> nb -- sorry, I'm bogged down right now; I'll be having that conversation soon 23:23:17 <nb> rudi, ok 23:23:29 <ke4qqq> could we actually use a web-based text editor?? I mean would changes get committed to git/$versioncontrol 23:23:30 * nb wonders what tells publican what tag to build to 23:24:07 <rudi> The outcome of that conversation will also help us with issues around presenting English docs on translated tables of contents... we're getting there 23:24:37 <Sparks> rudi: Will you have enough time to come back next week with answers to those questions? 23:24:52 <nb> is jeff jfearn? 23:24:56 <rudi> Sparks -- I'll make sure that I do 23:24:59 <rudi> nb -- yes he is 23:25:06 * nb could email him too if that helps 23:25:16 <nb> but if he is where rudi can actually talk to him that'd be quicker probably 23:25:44 <rudi> nb -- yeah, I also want to talk to one of the sysadmins here who has implemented exactly the same system internally for RH 23:25:52 <nb> ok 23:25:59 <nb> do they use koji? 23:26:09 <nb> although i guess we should discuss this outside of the meeting 23:26:13 <nb> and not take up everyones time :) 23:26:14 <Sparks> #action rudi to talk with Jeff (jfearn) about using Koji with Publican and English docs on translated ToC. 23:26:18 <rudi> brew, its close relative 23:26:19 <Sparks> #undo 23:26:19 <zodbot> Removing item from minutes: <MeetBot.items.Action object at 0x26284a50> 23:26:36 <Sparks> #action rudi to talk with Jeff (jfearn) about using Koji with Publican and English docs on translated ToC and bring responses to the 09 June meeting. 23:27:53 <Sparks> Okay, anything else on the CMS? 23:28:13 * ke4qqq proposes we push this to the docs list 23:28:25 <Sparks> ke4qqq: Agreed 23:28:26 <ke4qqq> prolly too large a decision to be made in a single irc meeting 23:28:46 <Sparks> #info Further discussion on the CMS will be on the docs list. 23:28:51 <Sparks> Anything else? 23:29:06 <Sparks> #action Sparks to move the CMS discussion to the docs list 23:29:13 <Sparks> Okay, moving on 23:29:17 <Sparks> #topic Release Notes 23:29:47 <Sparks> jjmcd: I opened a ticket with the Chinese translators to translate that bug we received a couple of days ago. 23:29:54 * Sparks assumes you saw that. 23:29:59 <jjmcd> Not much to report. Yeah, I saw that 23:30:29 <jjmcd> Perhaps we can figure out what it meant 23:31:01 <jjmcd> Otherwise, bugzilla has been pretty lean 23:32:27 <Sparks> jjmcd: I ran it through Google translations and... well... I'd like to see what a translator has to say. 23:32:47 <jjmcd> I didn't try that - did it make any sense at all? 23:32:53 <Sparks> kinda 23:33:10 <Sparks> You can do it but I didn't feel right about pasting that text into the BZ ticket. 23:33:14 <Sparks> FOSS and all 23:33:49 <jjmcd> I see where rudi updated the fc1-f9 branches 23:33:53 <Sparks> Okay, anything else on the RNs? 23:33:59 <Sparks> really? 23:34:09 <Sparks> rudi: You updated the fc1-9 branches? 23:34:17 <rudi> Yeah; still working on it though 23:34:19 <Sparks> Were you bored or something? 23:34:22 <rudi> A couple more langs to do 23:34:32 <Sparks> heh 23:34:32 <rudi> Sorry, a couple more docs to do 23:34:52 <Sparks> Okay, anything else before we move on? 23:34:59 <rudi> More that I want docs.fp.o to be the gold standard of Publican-driven docs publishing :) 23:35:17 <Sparks> #topic Guide Status 23:35:29 <Sparks> rudi: So tell everyone what you are doing. 23:36:05 <rudi> Basically, just regenerating all of the old guides to integrate them into the Publican-driven site 23:36:18 <rudi> I hope to be able to deprecate the "archives" subsite too soon 23:36:24 <Sparks> So it will really be one-stop shopping 23:36:27 <rudi> Yeah 23:36:40 <jjmcd> way cool 23:36:51 <rudi> But I think we also need to have f10 and earlier grouped under an "obsolete" heading or something 23:37:12 <Sparks> Isn't it obvious? 23:37:16 <rudi> At the moment, there's too much potential for confusion 23:37:20 <Sparks> ok 23:37:35 <rudi> Well, there are still people *in RH* who don't know the difference between Fedora and Fedora Core :) 23:37:43 <Sparks> wow 23:37:53 * jjmcd still has an FC4 box 23:38:02 <rudi> "Do I want Fedora 13, or maybe this new Fedora Core 6?" 23:38:19 <Sparks> rudi: Should we hold a class for them? 23:38:23 <rudi> (Which is of course, the newest version on the "Fedora Core" menu) lolz 23:38:27 <rudi> Sparks -- I wish! :) 23:38:42 <Sparks> FCA 23:38:50 <nb> rudi, let me know if you do much removing 23:38:55 <Sparks> Fedora Core Anonymous 23:38:56 <nb> because i'll need to run a rsync with --delete 23:39:48 <rudi> nb -- thanks; I'll need that in another week or so 23:40:00 <rudi> One question -- 23:40:14 <rudi> are we all in agreement that we should continue to make legacy docs available on the site? 23:40:35 <Sparks> rudi: I wouldn't make it a priority but I think it would be neat to see them all up there. 23:40:48 <Sparks> I'm all for displaying people's work. 23:41:22 <rudi> I (obviously) agree :) 23:42:05 <rudi> I think that d.fp.o serves a purpose for the docs and l10n communities beyond its primary mission of delivering content to users 23:43:43 <Sparks> Yes 23:44:11 <Sparks> It's the refrigerator gallery for Docs and L10N 23:44:16 <Sparks> :) 23:44:37 <jjmcd> There are a lot of FC6 and F8 systems still out ther 23:45:02 <Sparks> Yep.
