[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Documentation of Evergreen's Technical Side

[Roma Matott]

Repke de Vries (Systems Librarian, IISH, Amsterdam), Robert Soulliere (Systems Librarian, Mohawk College, Canada), Tigran Zargaryan (Fundamental Scientific Library, Academy of Sciences, Armenia) and I have volunteered to put together documentation on the technical side of Evergreen.  Using Dan Scott's Book of Evergreen (http://open-ils.org/~denials/testbook.html), we would like to start flushing out the topics listed.  But we will need your help!

We realize you are all extremely busy.  So, we propose posting a topic every 1-2 weeks and ask the community to add what information they know/have.  It could be entries on your blog, notes you have made, emailed questions you have answered or ad lib comments.  We will then take this information and compile it into the DIG documentation format.  For more information about the DIG effort, see http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs:dig_participation&s[]=documentation.  

Naturally, we will give authorship credit to those who contribute.  

Does this sound reasonable?  We are open to other suggestions for compiling all of the expertise you have, just let us know.  We believe that the sooner we can put this information together, the stronger the Evergreen community will become!

Thanks,
