== Communication Channels ==
* '''Mailing List:''' For formal discussions, the Fedora Documentation Project uses the [https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-docs-list fedora-docs] mailing list.
* '''IRC:''' For informal discussions about Fedora Documentation, many members of the project frequent the '''#fedora-docs''' channel on '''irc.freenode.net'''.
* '''Meetings:''' Weekly Fedora Documentation Project meetings are held on Thursdays at 0001 UTC, in the '''#fedora-meeting''' channel on '''irc.freenode.net'''. Check out the [[Docs_Project_meetings| Meetings]] wiki page for past meetings minutes, and the agenda for the upcoming meeting.
== How we do it. ==
Documents typically begin life on the Fedora wiki.  This is to aid the development of the document until it can be finalized.  Unfinished documents are categorized as [[:Category:Draft_Documentation]].  Once the document is deemed complete, the Draft_Documentation category is replaced by the [[:Category:Documentation]] category.
If the documentation is deemed to be "official" and in need of a more permanent home, the wiki pages are translated into Docbook XML of which can then be used to generate HTML and RPM files that are used to disseminate to the public.  HTML files are published at http://docs.fedoraproject.org and RPM files are published in the Fedora repository.
== What we are working on now. ==
Published documentation can be found on http://docs.fedoraproject.org or on this wiki under [[:Category:Documentation]].  Draft documentation can be found under [[:Category:Draft_Documentation]].
We are working on a number of [[Docs Project guides | guides]] that aid users in setting up and using Fedora:
* Installation Guide
* Release Notes
* Security Guide
* SELinux Guide
* User Guide
* Deployment Guide
* RPM Guide
* Amateur Radio Giude

The mission of the Fedora Documentation Project is to provide documentation to users and developers to improve the overall usage of Fedora. We do that by explaining the usage of certain pieces of software or systems, provide written accounts of special events(releases, etc), and provide recommendations on setting of software or systems (security, performance, etc).
