#1994 moving FESCo policy docs under docs.fp.o
Closed: Accepted 5 years ago Opened 5 years ago by zbyszek.

From last weeks meeting:
16:20:13 <zbyszek> I started working on converting FESCo wiki pages to antora to make
16:20:13 <zbyszek> them part of docs.fedoraproject.org.
16:20:13 <zbyszek> (History would be preserved in git, but text/formatting would be
16:20:13 <zbyszek> completely redone to go from mediawiki to asciidoc.)
16:20:13 <zbyszek> The advantages are that
16:20:16 <zbyszek> a) there would be better history control and less cruft
16:20:18 <zbyszek> b) it would be possible to file and discuss PRs for changes
16:20:21 <zbyszek> c) FESCo docs would be in the same format as Council docs, and it will be easier to link between them.
16:20:24 <zbyszek> Before I countinue to work on this (the formatting needs a bit of polish, and I missed some pages in the first conversion), I'd like an ack that such conversion is wanted in general. If yes, I'd try to produce a working version before next week's meeting, and I'd ask antora maintainers to provide the necessary hookups. It probably needs to be a separate repo to provide the correct ACLs.
16:20:36 <bowlofeggs> b is compelling
16:20:49 <maxamillion> yeah, I'm in
16:20:55 <maxamillion> +1 for antora
16:21:01 <tyll> +1
16:21:05 <bowlofeggs> +1
16:21:09 <nirik> +10
16:21:11 <jforbes> I don't see a downside there
16:21:12 <jforbes> +1
16:21:16 <contyk> +1
16:21:20 <sgallagh> +1
16:21:42 * bowlofeggs makes some sarcastic joke about how much he likes mediawiki markdown
16:21:47 <zbyszek> OK, thanks, so I'll create a ticket when ready so we can discuss details.

There's two categories that seem relevant:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:FESCo_policy
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:FESCo
I excluded pages that are also in Category:Draft and pages which are translations. All translations are outdated.

After deciding on an URL for a repo and populating it, we should patch
https://pagure.io/fedora-docs/docs-fp-o/blob/master/f/site.yml.

My suggestion would be to not modify any of the FESCo docs in the wiki anymore, so that' we don't lose something in the conversion, and then add a header to all wiki pages that the contents have moved. Ideally, the header would be custom to each page and contain a link to the relevant new page. Some pages were renamed, so this would require manual work. This should be tolerable considering that there's only ~10 pages.

The new repo is at https://pagure.io/fesco/fesco-docs.

If some more pages should be moved, let me know. Also comments about formatting/link issues are welcome. PRs even more!


The docs are now live under https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Previous_Fedora_Engineering_Steering_Committee_Members/. I added links to all wiki pages to point to the new pages.
