From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20040803 Description of problem: http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/ is the Fedora docs home page. It is static, and has remained so for months. It's so static it may as well be dead. What documents there are are not shown. There is no indication that any activity is taking place at all. From the links to the page, I'd guess it should be the page for documentation on the Fedora software, not all about the Fedora documentation project. Those links should be minimal. Even worse, the only link to documentation is to RH9! It seems that a reader has come to the wrong page, as if Fedora isn't to be spoken of! Either delete it and announce that you don't give a ... about documentation, fix it yourselves, or enable people who are interested to fix it. Re the release notes. The only documentation linked from there? http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/ as at 11 August 2004 does not align with the distributed release-notes present in my downloaded FC2. It would appear that (as is often the case) documentation is the poor cousin of Fedora. I wonder what is the first item that a user turns to when something goes wrong with Fedora? And what opinion is formed when there is none, what there is is unreliable etc? Please either request the documentation group to define a structure for documentation (and allow them write access to maintain it) or do something about it yourselves Redhat. One part of this weakness is the lack of Redhat support for Fedora-docs. Tammy Fox is away on maternity leave, and nobody is filling in. There is no CVS for an author to enter documentation. Where it has been offered, people are chary of submitting documentation for what appears to be a dead project. Documentation may be low on Redhats priority list, but it is important. Frustrated: DaveP. Working with Fedora-docs. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): fc1 && fc2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Read the web page. 2. 3. Actual Results: I was dissapointed. Expected Results: Something... almost anything. Additional info:
Dave, I understand your frustration. I return from maternity leave next month but I will try to work on looking at the tutorials recently submitted via Bugzilla and read over the thread on developing a process. Unfortunately, we still do not have the ability for non-Red Hatters to commit to CVS, which is beyond my control. The docs that are available are listed on the fedora.redhat.com/docs/ page -- all 2 of them. Now that people are submitting tutorials via Bugzilla so that we can keep track of them, hopefully we will have more listed soon.
