Documentation BoF
Some things we might discuss. Other topics are welcomed!
Creation of documentation on UserBase
Pros:
- Everyone can contribute
- Collaborative process
- Many eyes (editrors, translators) - spot problems
- Nice interface for translation
Cons?
- Dockbooc formatting doesn't completely match with UserBase formatting
Tools:
- automated Wiki -> DocBook program in Python (still requires some manual intervention)
- automated DocBook -> Wiki program TBA?
- Better support for interface strings, versionsnumbers ...?
- Better integration with existing tools: Lokalize, pology.
Building teams of documenters
Documentation is a task, that "regular users" can contribute to. May be a good gateway into the community.
