Japanese translated docs have been maintained

shindo — 2008-11-19T16:22:52

Hi all, I'm (actual lead) translator of Japanese Gentoo docs. This 6 month, Japanese translation team has been activated, so then translations of Handbook Part1(x86), Alternative Installation Guide, Security handbook and ALSA Configuration Guide are completely updated. And Handbook Part2 is almost updated, all part2 docs will be completed soon. Of course, our team will translate other docs step by step. Can Japanese come back to available language list on www.gentoo.org? (Translations is maintained already!) Shindo

Wiki, Take #whatever

Josh Saddler — 2008-11-11T09:16:31

Hey again. So there's some discussion (again) on starting up an official Gentoo wiki. Official meaning it's hosted on our infrastructure; e.g. wiki.gentoo.org. This time the discussion is coming from our fellow developers and infra overlords. I know that the GDP discussed this any number of times on this list, and some of us (most notably myself and neysx) have discussed it on the forums, with occasional feedback from other developers. However, it's been quite awhile since the last time we (the GDP) talked it over. Given our current issues of manpower and time (see archives.gentoo.org for commit totals), perhaps a wiki could solve some issues? The classic problems are: 1) Who has access 2) Who reports faulty articles 3) Who fixes them 4) Who verifies the article is correct 5) ??? 6) Profit So, I'd like to hear what you think. Should we have a wiki? Why or why not? If so, for once, does anyone have some *sane* ways to admin and moderate such a wiki? There's no question that having a properly-administered

Punting the modular X documentation

Josh Saddler — 2008-11-10T03:32:08

It's been long enough since Xorg 6.8 --> 6.9 and newer that we no longer need to keep the Migrating to Modular X/Porting Applications to Modular X at the top of our Desktop Documentation Resources page, nor anywhere at all, really. Whattaya say to punting them from that list? Not just removing them from metadoc.xml, but also any inter-document references, such as from xorg-config.xml and anything else in /doc/.

What is the preferred way to submit patches?

Aniruddha — 2008-09-15T20:17:02

I would like to provide some patches for the Gentoo documentation. What is the best way to do this? I can imagine it's something like: 1 Download xml 2 Adjust 3 Create patch 4 Upload to bugzilla Is this the correct way? And if so what is the best way to download the xml? Which url should I use?

Proposal: remove 'last updated' date from rendered page

Josh Saddler — 2008-09-03T02:14:44

Hi guys. I dunno about you, but I'm getting tired of folks bashing our docs as being "out of date", "stale", "old", or "inaccurate" just because of the displayed date of the last update. I propose that we keep the date inside the document code, for our own internal purposes, but remove it from the final rendered page. As you know, the date displayed has little relevance to when we last actually touched-up the document, given our internal date bump policy. The only possible downside I can see to this is that we might get fewer patches/bug reports from users who see an "old" date and feel the need to send in stuff based on it. Anyone know if this is a common occurrence? Is there otherwise really a *need* to display the date? I look at it like this . . . sometimes, our docs are okay because they're feature-complete. They don't *need* any further updating. Just like gamin, which hasn't had an upstream release since 2007....it's because it "just works." I like to think our docs are this way, too. M

A new Gentoo user is born

Sven Vermeulen — 2008-08-06T22:17:08

Hi guys 'n gals My daughter is born on august 5th, exactly as the gynaecologist has predicted. As both her parents are Gentoo users, I have no doubt that she will become one as well (right now, I don't think she can deal with the password rules enforced on my Gentoo installation). Her name is Iebe Vermeulen and at birth weighted 3.260 kilograms (yes, I use the metric system) and was 52cm tall. It goes without saying I won't be working on Gentoo docs the first coming days nor be often available on IRC, but that shouldn't take too long: when both of my girls - gf and daughter - are back at home and all paperwork is done, I will have some time available as I'm not going to work for a few weeks now ;-) Greetz & see you all on IRC / mail.

New documentation

Michele Schiavo — 2008-07-24T22:19:41

Hi. I just setup on my network NFSv4 with Kerberos authentication. I spend a lot of day searching everything can help me and it was a big war. Now I setup correctly nfs and kerberos and i'd like to make a guide-howto so if there will be other people who wants to use Gentoo with nfsv4 and kerberos don't have to do all the dirty work i did. So can I write a documentation ? In the past I translate 2 document, so I hope I can do it without take a lot of time from you. Let me know. Thanks Michele Schiavo P.S. I'm Italian so I will do in English and Italiano.

Unmark handbook/2008.0/index.xml as draft

Sven Vermeulen — 2008-07-08T07:57:46

Can anyone with proper commit access and common sense edit the cvs/gentoo/xml/htdocs/doc/en/handbook/2008.0/index.xml page so that the draft disclaimer is removed? I'm without access during working hours or I would've done it myself :-) Anyway, congratulations to release engineering for the release and nightmorph & colleagues for the documentation!

Nagios 3 guide

Sven Vermeulen — 2008-07-05T15:54:33

Hi Matthew As I said on https://bugs.gentoo.org/131942 I'm going to focus my attention on a document about Nagios and Gentoo. I don't know if you or one of your colleagues is already working on Nagios documentation for Gentoo? My focus is not on Nagios itself - we don't need to document Nagios, they have documentation editors themselves. However, the document would focus on installing Nagios on the master server, installing the necessary plugins on the clients, configuring nrpe/check_ssh on Gentoo systems and integrating Gentoo-specific metrics. Can you tell me if you know someone already working on similar documentation? Wkr, Sven Vermeulen

Serbian translation

2008-05-14T13:20:22

Hello! Couple of us would like to translate the gentoo doc to serbian, but we have some questions. Fist, http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gdp/doc/translators-howto.xml says (if I understand it correctly) that in one point we should upload Part I of the handbook and one of Translation Accuracy chapters. In the mean time, we have to put it on some server. Is that right? If so, do we need to take any other actions, like hide the translated pages or something? Thanx!

links to alternative languages

Mike Frysinger — 2008-05-09T18:46:06

i never actually looked into this before, but is there automatic linking to translated versions of a document ? i just looked at the handbook and it appears to be hand maintained. that seems pretty awkward. shouldnt our documents have an automatic and standard method (side bar or something) for linkage to translated versions ? -mike
