Docs Reorganization Project
This page provides a place to discuss how to organize the official documentation.
Please add ideas, suggest a new approach, or create a new structure by copying the Table of Contents from below. Share your changes via your own wiki page, or send a text file (or Word Doc, etc.) to the DIG mailing list (open-ils-documentation@list.georgialibraries.org).
Current Re-Organization
-
- Copy help files from scripts into official docs?
- Example cron script: cron_services
-
- Technical Introduction to Evergreen (similar to eg_developer_overview)
- How to Participate in the Evergreen Community (communication channels, getting over initial fears, groups/meetings, etc.)
- How to contribute code/docs/etc. (intro to launchpad, pull request process, etc.)
-
Specifications
Meetings
- Initial meeting (Thursday, February 19, 2015 at 1:00 PM EST)
- Planning meeting (Wednesday, February 10, 2016 at 2:00 PM EST)
- March 2016 meeting (Monday, March 7, 2016 at 2:00 PM Eastern)
- April 2016 meeting (Date not yet set)
Ideas for Organization
- Focus on type of user (e.g. Installer, System Admin, Staff Admin, Staff User (by module: circ, cat, acq), etc.)
- One benefit: Each smaller "book" would be easier to read and evaluate for completeness than the current combined docs is.
- Use the structure of "Evergreen in Action" as the main organizing structure for the docs
- Some chapters have already been merged from Evergreen in Action. The rest should also be considered.
- FIRST, get advice from the authors if possible (Dan Scott, Kathy Lussier, James Keenan, Lindsay Stratton, Robert Soulliere)
- Add a section at the beginning for installing/setting up Evergreen
- Add a section at the end for developer resources
- Integrate the rest of the docs into the appropriate sections
- Design the docs for integration with the web client
- Targeted answers to specific task-based questions
