[OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] DIG hackfest

[Kathy Lussier]

Hello DIGgers!

During the least DIG meeting, we discussed the idea of doing a documentation
hackfest during the DIG meeting at the Evergreen conference with the hopes
of filling in some of the gaps for Evergreen documentation. I have set up a
wiki page at
http://open-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs:dig_hackfest where
we can start pulling together ideas for documentation we would like to work
on at the hackfest.

During the meeting, TPAC was mentioned as an area requiring documentation.
Since then, we've been able to incorporate some configuration and
customization docs from Dan Scott, but we'll also need some new docs on
using the catalog. The documentation will not only need to incorporate
creenshots with the new interface, but should also cover new features like
fine payments and circ history.

In addition to the TPAC docs, I've added a project to integrate new
cataloging content. We have several docs for new cataloging features
provided by Equinox, but, in some cases, I think work needs to be done to
integrate them into the main cataloging documentation. For example, "Overlay
Existing Catalog Record via Z39.50 Import" could be incorporated in the main
Z39.50 documentation and Monograph Parts could be supplemented with their
use in the traditional copy editor.

Are there are other topics you would like to see covered? Is there
documentation you've never found the time to develop but would like to
tackle at the hackfest? Feel free to add your ideas to the wiki!

Thanks!
Kathy
