Document formatting

The format depends on the type of document the contributor is writing.

  • The website is in HTML.
  • The guides are developed in XML and converted to HTML and .pdf
  • Fedora uses Mediawiki and uses Mediawiki syntax for the wiki pages.

Suggested Tools

  • Gobby is a great real-time documentation collaboration service.
  • Publican is a graphical user interface for developing xml files and converting them into other formats.
  • Works not directly saved into the wiki should be saved in git via Fedora Hosted.
  • You may use your fedoraproject.org alias which is granted to you upon successful FAS/CLA sign-up.
