[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Resources for New Developers

[Soulliere, Robert]

Hi Lori,

Thanks for all your work in this area. Speaking as someone in the DIG, I think this will be exceptional in helping us fill in some of the documentation gaps for developers and some of the more advanced administration functions. If you look at our documentation outline:

http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs_2.2:outline you will see a whole section for "Developer Resources" .

I think compiling notes and information on the wiki is a great idea for now. Also note that AsciiDoc is now the preferred format for documentation submissions to DIG. ASciiDoc is a lot easier than DocBook XML and used in the code for the README Installation instructions etc....

If you could have finished documentation submitted n AsciiDoc that would be great! Also, if you want us to being compiling the documentation on what you have on the wiki, that would also work. In short, we can either try to extract the documentation from the wiki and format the content or you can submit the finished product in AsciiDoc or a mixture of both processes.

Thanks!
Robert

Hi DIGgers,

I'm working with a group of new developers and some experienced developers to provide some technical documentation that will help new developers get started coding.  We've developed a wiki here:

http://www.open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=dev:new_developer_wishlist

That's our wish list and we'll also keep track there of who will write up what to address our wish list items.  Does it cause problems if we continue to organize ourselves on our wiki page and forward what we come up to you after it is written?

Lori
