*Question: why cms instead of wiki?
wiki pages that I would like to seen created, expanded, or generally cleaned up but haven't gotten to yet
** really it is not instead of - it is in addition to...  
* Managing documentation guides with git (cloning, git vs ssh, global config, local config, branches, add, commit, push, diff, revert)
** wiki - quick collaboration, easily updated, frequently changing, end-users
* Category:Wiki Mainatainers with some of Ian's templates, how to patrol, tips for the cleanup process, using Special pages, etc.
** cms - more static content that must be in xml (docs) and transated and more restricted content like packaging and legal and logos. and lifecycle tracking - to end of life version specific content.
* Release Notes process - including [[Docs decisions for F12]]

==wiki Pagenaming/style tip==
I have "herded cats" for updates to the User Guide and was the lead for that document for a couple of releases.
*page can only be in one namespace but can have multi categories.
*level1 headers are deprecated and bad bad bad - (page name can have spaces so name your page the level1 headers)
*first thing should not be section header so you get an intro para THEN the table of contents in intro mention that title (in bold). From mediawiki style guide.
*put category at the bottom of page
*can we find pages with a l1 header - and rename page using l1 header and remove l1 header
*look at [[https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Fonts fonts]] as how category page can have it's own content. uses templates to then list all pages within that category.


==Docbook presentation notes==
When I had more time to dedicate to the wiki each week, I was the Docs Project contact person for the Packaging Guide and related documentation.  Tasks were listed in [[Docs_tasks_for_Packaging_Guide_and_related_materials]].  The first step was wiki cleanup.  Then looking into using the CMS for better workflow and access control with the actual Packaging Guide documentation. As the testing of the CMS started, I also applied to the [[Infrastructure]] team.  Toshio was nice enough to ask and to sponsor me so that I can at least be involved in the testing of the CMS.  I am interested in being on the team but concerned that I do not have the time to contribute as much as is necessary.  Time will tell (pun intended).

Greetings,
Greetings,


I have been meaning to get more involved with fedoraproject for a while and I have been lurking here on the docs list for a few weeks now. I was struggling a little to figure out how this project worked but then I rescued about 50 messages from my spam folder and it is now starting to make more sense :)
I had been meaning to get more involved with fedoraproject for a while before I finally made the commitment. For all that I use and recommend opensource, this is the first project I actually joined (better late then never I guess).


I have been a contract instructor for Red Hat since 2000 and involved in network operating system support and training since 1992 (and *nix user even longer). I have contributed to Red Hat course materials including general bug reports, testing updated labs, helping to update the online training from RHEL3 to RHEL4, and providing content for the first release of Red Hat Academy materials.  
I am interested in all things related to learning and teaching - documentation, planning, consulting, corporate training, university settings, and youngsters too.


The Red Hat Academy project involved working with DocBook.

I have contributed to Red Hat course materials including general bug reports, testing updated labs, contributing to online course content and videos, updating existing courses, and providing content for the first release and later updates of Red Hat Academy materials (with docbook). I also teach courses related to other Linux distributions and general computing security topics.  In addition to teaching formal classes, I also do some consulting and really enjoy the short assignments that are often mostly an informal skill transfer.
I have taught and used cvs, seen subversion, and am sure I can figure out git relatively quickly.
I am not as versed in wiki and irc etiquette and usage but I have been poking around and reading some of the intro and FAQ docs and of course I have had plenty of experience with mailing lists and AIM.

Current Projects

I am a general contributor to the Docs Project which includes wiki gardening and assisting with the various guides such as the Users Guide and the Installation Guide which are updated each release. I would like to do more with the security related guides.

I also found that I could answer yes to all three of the questions raised on the join page and that as an Linux instructor in my $dayjob I already do many of the other tasks listed under how to be an active ambassador.

It is an excellent way to watch a large project make use of cutting edge technology and if I could just dedicate some more time to it, I could learn so much about products I am aware of, interested in, but have not had a chance to really implement.

I do not post to Fedora Planet often enough and I am a newbie player at Fedora Badges . Outside of Fedora, mostly in my $dayjob, I am getting involved with Hadoop and OpenStack as well as continuing my InfoSec activities.

As I was getting started, I took notes in hopes of helping the DocsProject/WorkFlow so it is easier for other people to also Join. Over the 2008 Christmas holiday and through the Docs Project Holiday Virtual Hackfest and FUDcon, I added tips and reminders. These are now located at
