Community-driven Activity
Alignment with API Specification
As part of the completion of the Fedora API specification, the current implementation will need to be brought into alignment with the documented specification. To this end, we are scheduling code sprints to complete the alignment work. There will be two sprints, of two weeks each:
- September 10-21
- October 1-12
This is an extremely important milestone for the Fedora project. If you are interested and available to participate in either or both of these sprints, please add your name to the sprint planning page.
Fedora 5.x Documentation
In tandem with the API alignment sprints, we are reviewing and updating the project documentation for the 5.0.0 release. Creating and maintaining accurate and up-to-date documentation is equally as important as software development, so please contribute to this effort.
