Documentation process

Documentation team responsibilities

The documentation team has two main purposes:

  • The team is in charge of the end-user documentation in the wiki (the web team being in charge of the structure). We should also oversight the content from other teams (since most teams will have a dedicated area in the wiki) to make sure the wiki stays coherent and clean.
  • We should also produce an official end-user documentation to be included in Mageia releases.

Current work

The documentation team is always looking for more members. If you think you can contribute in any way, please join us on the mailing list and say hello! Thanks in advance.

The most important topics of our work are:

  • The installer help: when installing Mageia, an inline help can be accessed, and it's our job to build and to maintain this resource. The help is also available online.
    This work was initially done for Mageia 2, and we are working to adapt them for new versions, in particular with new screen shots. We hope also that more translations will be available.
  • Mageia Control Center help: Mageia provides custom configuration tools (MCC), and we have to provide and maintain the associated documentation.
    The documentation will be available inline with Mageia and also in other formats, and is already accessible online. Although most of these tools have been documented, we do need to complete any partial or missing sections, and to translate in more languages.

For these two topics, we use a tool called Calenco, in which the documents are written using the Docbook format. Each page is a file which can be edited with a text editor or an XML editor like XXE. There is no need to have a deep experience with docbook, but care must be taken to observe a regular format.

  • The wiki: we strive to ensure that the Wiki is well structured, without redundant pages and that the information is accurate and clear.
    You can contribute by writing pages, checking and updating already written pages or by proposing subjects to develop. The syntax for the wiki is simple, and pages can be started by anyone who is registered. This page outlines the method for this, along with some topics that we hope might be written.

Members

Please add yourself to this list if you are willing to contribute to the documentation team. If it is possible, please write your 'Nick' (Mageia username - the one you registered on identity.mageia.org ), name, e-mail address and what you want to do in the team. Please do this in alphabetical order by the Nick. Thanks!
