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 still looking for more members. If you think you can contribute in any way, please join us on the mailing list!
- The Doc Team is currently working on making sure the Wiki is up-to-date as well as getting to grips with the XML-based Master Mageia Documentation set, which is stored on a Calenco server and will be used to build user documentation about Mageia in various formats.
- Discussions about the wiki structure and content as well as Mageia Master Documentation set happen on the docteam's mailing list.
Resources
You may want to have a look at the: Calenco user's guide or the Mageia Calenco handbook for maintaining Mageia Documentation using Calenco.
Translating
The easiest method is Translation with Calenco and xxe, the downside is that it is hard to see which changes there were to the original text.
Translation with Calenco and Gettext takes more time to learn, but in the long run it saves time because you'll know exactly what changed and needs to be translated.
