Need to consult the Fedora documentation people on this. I think this would mean patching yelp to provide a different contents list. AFAICT there is no easy, modular way to drop this in, as we will with redhat-menus. I know the FDP would be very supportive of having a different front page to yelp, if the yelp maintainers are willing to take this on as a regular deviation from upstream. I know that is not in line with the overall Fedora strategy, but may be warranted here. Yelp now includes documents on the front page which are registered with scrollkeeper in the category General|Linux|Distributions|Other What remains to be done here is to register a suitable set of Fedora documents in that category. The blurb we use for defining Fedora in the wiki is available from http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraDict " Fedora is an operating system and platform, based on Linux, that is always free for anyone to use, modify and distribute, now and forever. It is developed by a large community of people who strive to provide and maintain the very best in free, open source software and standards. Fedora is a collection of projects sponsored by Red Hat, Inc." We might need to do something similar for KDE too. A related enhancement - the about box on Fedora might also provide the following information similar to Windows. End users typically wouldnt differentiate between the operating system(software) and the computer (hardware) Version of Fedora Information about the system - CPU, Memory information etc. Might provide a button that launches the hal device manager hmm, bugzilla ate my comment last night. So we _did_ get this in FC5, which is nice. For FC6, we need to make sure it gets translated. Add to FC6Destop tracker What is the status of this ? Is "About Fedora" on track to be fully translated in FC6 ? The PO for the About document is now exchanged along with our release notes into i18n.r.c (until some better way can be found, ETA ?). We have some translations already -- 11 to be exact -- and will be visible once I have the OMF mangling ready. Should happen pre-test3. awesome, thanks This seems to be working fine in test3 |
