FOSS Docs Mini-Summit

[John Babich]

Here is a first draft at preparing and planning for the proposed FOSS
Docs summit:

FOSS Docs the FOSS Way

A completely free (as in freedom) and automated toolchain would be of
tremendous benefit to the Fedora Project as well as the FOSS
community-at-large. To realize this goal, we are proposing an online
FOSS Documentation Tools Summit tentatively planned for late January
2007.

In preparation for this event, we need to

    *  prepare an agenda for the summit
    *  put together a contact list of possible participants from other
FOSS projects
    *  publicize the event in the FOSS community

Meanwhile, we also plan to

    * review what are the common FOSS tools and techniques in use
today [the real]
    * map out the best documentation workflow [the ideal]
    * identify the gaps and how best to fill them [how to get there from here]

We hope to arrive at a community-wide consensus on the best way to proceed.
