[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Notes from the July 17, 2009 Evergreen Documentation Interest Group (DIG)

[Karen Schneider]

The webinar recording will go up later today; meanwhile, here are the notes
from the July 17, 2009 Documentation Interest Group (DIG).

Great meeting, all! I am sorry these notes are un-fancy -- felt sooner and
fresher was better than later and fancier.

Scope statement: Paul and Shannon -- progress -- close -- Paul and Shannon
will share with the group (wait for the webinar follow-up email)

Participant guide -- basically done -- see:

http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs:dig#get_involved

The wiki: do we want to tidy up the main page and move things like the
participant guide to a subpage? kgs, cynthia, shannon -- yes -- Lynn

Proof of concept -- SITKA will send out links. This provescan work in a
distributed fashion wusing heterogeneous toolsets and produce single source
documentation.

Toolset: In work; see the Word-->Oo-->DocBook 4-->DocBook 5 guidelines here:

http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=documentation:setting_up_docbook_transforms


PINES -- question from Jenn: what about local guides?  Jenn/Chris will
solicit local documentation and share it

Environmental scan: Great work, moved back to focusing on high-level
details.

Note: you don't have to use wiki for tables--Karen can upload PDFs as need
be. Dokuwiki is a royal pain in the tables dept.

Needs assessment survey: who does the survey go to? Committees? higher-ups?
everyone? Conclusion: cast a broad net. The survey can be cross-tabulated.
Watch the order of questions so the key q's are high up. Need to fine-tune
the questions on consortial affiliation -- questions -- at least 2

Drupal: Chris, Robin Fay, Steve Wills -- haven't formed a functional
workgroup yet -- coalescing but not a big bang yet . group will meet and
come up with a recommendation. Steve will do an environmental scan of Drupal
activities around DocBook and report back in mid to late August -- Chris
will connect Steve with Darren Givens of GPLS. Roma Matott will join the
effort. Steve will talk w/ Phil Hunt -- Steve is POC for the functional
workgroup. kgs will send out one "forming" email to the 5 (done!).

We'll "Doodle" our way into the next meeting -- folks agreed that worked
really well last time!

See everyone soon,
