This is the start to the Docs QA guidelines...

What to look for when reviewing a guide

  • Broken links
  • Appropriate license
  • Misspelled words
  • Repeated words (E.g. 'the the')
  • Grammar
  • Compliance with Fedora Documentation style guide
  • Documented procedures do what they say they do without eating babies.

Automation

Some of these checks can be automated, others by their nature can not. The script File:Qa check.sh provides an example of how DocBook XML might be automatically checked for:

  • Misspelled words
  • Repeated words

It also currently checks for use of entities outside the Feedback / Legal Notice / Book Info files. This script could also be extended to check for:

  • Broken links
  • Contractions
  • Suggestions welcome?

Usage:

  • Run qa_check.sh from within the book's root directory, for example musicians-guide/, to check the whole book.
  • Run qa_check.sh FILENAME to check a single file.
