Changes

On PC architecture systems (x86_64 and i386), Fedora manages and updates kernels as RPM packages, which modify [http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/grub-legacy.en.html grub] boot parameters and the initial ram disk ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initrd initrd], configured by [[:fedora:Dracut |dracut]]).

We're not doing a great job of communicating how the [[:fedora:Architectures/ARM |Fedora-ARM]] project is doing, especially how [[http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org current builds]] are progressing. The [http://arm.koji.fedoraproject.org/status status page] is very bare-bones and doesn't convey a lot of information, the Fedora-ARM wiki pages (on the [[:fedora:Architectures/ARM Fedora]] and [[:Category:Fedora_ARM_Secondary_Architecture|Seneca]] wikis) need to be made more useful to prospective users, and we need an effective communication strategy with the rest of the [http://fedoraproject.org Fedora community]. This project involves writing some web scripts to create a easy-to-use, informative status page (showing, for example, the current state and progress of the ARM builds), creating user documentation on the Fedora wiki, and fostering effective communication within the Fedora-ARM project and the larger Fedora community.

[[http://wix.sourceforge.net/ WIX]] is an open-source packaging system for Microsoft Windows software. It is used to prepare software packages that can be installed on a Windows machine. However, the WIX tools themselves can run on Linux, which is useful for cross-development (writing software on Linux for use on Windows, e.g., the virt-manager utilities for Windows virtual machine guests).
