[CentOS-docs] Releasing the CentOS Linux 7 Installation Guide
Hi all: As some of you may be aware, for the last year we've been making slow progress toward creating a CentOS 7-specific installation guide from the HTML-based Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Installation Guide. We now have a document that I think is quite good and is ready for release as the CentOS Linux 7 Installation Guide: https://github.com/CentOS/docs/blob/master/legacy_docs/index.html Do you think we are ready to release? (And please provide your reasoning if you vote with a -1 .) Note: At this point we may not have a document that perfectly deals with references to "Red Hat". Where we could not easily rewrite or provide an alternate graphic, we often simply removed sections. When we release the document, we should note how to report bugs for the document. Some items to do for release: * Update the Revision History in the document. I recommend we rollover to 2.0-0 to signify that this fork is a major revision of the document. The other option is to branch out from the 1.3-7 version we forked from that was released 16 Nov 2016. Thoughts? * Figure out how to handle bug reports on bugs.centos.org. I volunteer to be either a default owner or always-Cc:'d for this bug tracker component. Can we have multiple owners? Who else wants to be involved with bug tracking? * Then include content in the new guide as to where to file bugs. * Update centos.org/docs and provide the writing/maintaining team with the preferred process to request /docs updates for future releases. (I don't think the CentOS Docs SIG has maintained an HTML-based document on centos.org before, has it?) * Maybe a quick "marketing plan", meaning something that helps us talk about and promote the existence of the document. I started one here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WVgEJvgYfEMH1cmgteCnIDSizJKxDOBI7uyX4H34jac/edit?usp=sharing * Updates to e.g. the wiki on getting help, channel topic on #centos, where else? * What changes do we need to make to centos.org/docs? Anything else to do for release?
