[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] [OPEN-ILS-DOCUMENTATION] Acquisitions and Serials Documentation Drafts Now Available

[Turner, Jennifer M]

I like Robert's ideas: DocBook and DIG for feedback.  Should have thought of that earlier.  :)

 I think having the discussion on the Documentation list is important as well.

The hope is that the Acquisitions. documentation would be included as part of the official documentation for 2.0:
http://docs.evergreen-ils.org/2.0/draft/html/

I think it would be best to get the documentation into DocBook XML format which could then be processed in both HTML and PDF as part of the official documentation.

Would the DIG list be a good place to have the discussion and provide feedback on documentation?

Mary, I'm happy to share them (on KCLS' behalf).  Question:  Would it be useful for me to post these on the wiki with the "official draft" of Acq documentation?  I'm wondering if it would be useful to have a place to post info about procedures or potential workflows with the official documentation.  I see these two types of documents very differently but both are equally important.

And, is there a protocol in place for providing feedback on the draft documentation that is posted?  Seems like publicly sharing our comments would be useful. I'm wondering if the documentation could be provided on a wiki and in wiki format instead of PDF?  I'm thinking of the way Dan Scott put up the proposed rules of governance recently so we could all provide feedback. That would make all feedback visible and easier to keep track of for whomever gets to consolidate that feedback.

Should we be having this discussion on the Documentation list too?

Hi All,

I just got my hands on a copy of what is more like a procedures guides than "documentation" for ordering, receiving and invoicing.  It is from KCLS.  I don't want to introduce any confusion finalizing the documentation PINES/ESI has put together.  But if anyone would like a copy of of the workflow KCLS is using, let me know.

Draft documentation for acquisitions and serials is now available at http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=start

See the links to the three PDF files in the Documentation section.

Please note that these are drafts created by Equinox on behalf of the Georgia Public Library Service.  We will have a 30 day review period before these documents are finalized and become resources of the Evergreen community.  Please don't hesitate to give us your feedback.
