[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Evergreen documentation

[Sally Fortin]

Friends and Colleagues,

Many in the Evergreen community have expressed a desire for more 
documentation describing new features in Evergreen.  Others have 
requested that those who write documentation produce it in more formats, 
including asciidoc.  ESI trainers and developers have been thinking 
about how to help the Evergreen community meet its documentation needs 
and, to that end, are making some changes to the way that we produce 
documentation.

In every new development contract, the cost is inclusive of basic end 
user documentation, written by our trainers, that will be released to 
the Evergreen community.  If possible, we will release documentation in 
advance of the scheduled software release.  We will publish the 
documentation on the ESI website in both asciidoc and HTML formats to 
make new documentation accessible to the community.  Community members 
or DIG members can adapt the documentation to community or local needs 
in accordance with the CC-BY-NC-SA license that is listed on each 
document.  Finally, we'll make an announcement to the community every 
time new documentation is available for download.  You can also check 
our blog or website for updates on documentation.

We have started this project by posting documentation for many of the 
new features that developers have introduced into the current 2.1 
release and the forthcoming 2.2 release.

We're always trying to find ways to contribute to the documentation 
interests of the Evergreen community.  Please continue to let us know 
how we can contribute to Evergreen documentation!

Thanks,
Sally
