* Creates less confusion on where to post wiki related stuff, so it'd be a way to prevent cross posting between fedora-websites-list and fedora-docs-list - it drives me batty...

I'm leaving full paths in the SELinux User Guide (to accommodate F9 users), unless there are objections ;)

Sorry for the tangent here - but in what way did it hold you back? I'm really interested,

Footnoteable Wiki

Hi Everyone, The Fedora Orbital Laser[1] has cooled down enough to allow us to work on getting Footnotes[2] in the wiki[3]. There is some excellent documentation[4] on the Mediawiki website on how to use them if you have not in the past. Thank you for bearing through this announcement[5], Nigel Jones[6] --References-- [1] http://www.mail-archive.com/fedora-announce-list< at >redhat.com/msg01140.html [2] Not to be mistaken with 'Foodnotes' [3] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ [4] http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Cite/Cite.php#Usage [5] I use too many footnotes eh?

I have not tried this. Does it look much different than: [root< at >localhost ~] # ls -Z I try to only use inside . Cheers

[snip] Here's my take, for what it's worth. Can we do something like: [root< at >localhost ~]# ls -Z /tmp and style them differently so that it's clear? I know what you're thinking... crazy talk, right? -Jared

(At the moment I'm not using either) I've used user< at >host once to make sure they are logged in as the user (newuser) created in the previous steps, otherwise I leave this out. Before you jump on this, I was not being lazy, and the text before makes it crystal clear to log in as this user ;)

publishing documentation in Fedora

Murray McAllister — 2008-10-05T23:36:18

Hi, Two questions: 1. Is there any documentation on the procedure for having documentation published in Fedora, for example, hosted on ? 2. To get documentation in there, do I have to use the fedora-docs toolchain to make the RPMs? Cheers.

"Fedora icon in the lower left corner called the Kicker" is just wrong. 3. There are two minor typos towards the end...."kickerand" and a missing 'on' in the last line Otherwise, it is good. Best A.

[snip] I started using the full path, then realized it is not needed for Fedora 10, so I stopped using it. I'm going to go back and fix all of these up, because everyone reading might not have Fedora 10 :( Should documentation for Fedora 10 assume that people only use Fedora 10 (e.g. do not use the full path)?
