[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] noting what sections need content - in outline or in docs

[Cheryl Gould]

I'd like to second Robert's suggestion that there be a quick reference
option on the outline page for looking at what sections need more
documentation and then maybe what sections need editing.

I'm wondering if on the outline we can do a few things with
color/bolding or italics to  make it quick to view.
I'm thinking something like:
names of contributors are in italics
Sections that need content are written in red text
sections that need editing are in yellow text
sections that have been edited are in green text.

Alright, I realize this could be a little messy but it would be quick
to see what's going on in each section of the documentation.
We could agree that the main headings and sections stay black and bold
so it's quick to scan until ALL subsections have been edited...if that
ever happens ;)

I wonder if this can be done outside of the document in a quick
outline for quick reference so that we can quickly see what gaps exist
in the documentation without getting into the document. I've been
trying to make notes on the official outline:
http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs:outline
but this could get messy very quickly especially when you get into
particular missing paragraphs or small sections. I wonder if a more
extensive outline for notes should be created for more extensive
notes?  If your working with a particular group, leaving inner
document notes like you suggest and then letting other members of the
group or team know the gaps that need to be filled in works as well.
Notes can also be added when submitting it to the github repository if
that is an option.

I don't think a policy or standard was set for this. I suppose this
might become more important as more people become involved.

Thanks,
Robert
