Hi everybody,
after the last Xen Document Day, many people asked me when we would do
another document day. After a discussion on the mailing list, we settled
on next Tuesday (November 29). This will be an all-day on-line IRC event
with the aim to
* Improve user documentation
* Improve developer documentation, including the creation of man
pages, etc.
There is no hard start and end to the event, but volunteers in the UK
will be on-line on *Nov 29th* from around 9:00 UTC+1 until around 18:00
UTC+1, and then volunteers from the US will take over. The event will be
take place on freenode channel *#xendocday*
An intial work item lists and what we agreed on can be found on the
Documentation Day Etherpad <http://openetherpad.org/TSPGIEOBiS>. Other
work that needs doing is:
* Improve user and wiki documentation
o Migrate remaining wiki pages
<http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Wiki_Community/Migration_Instructions_from_Old_to_New_Xen_Wiki>
o Pages that need reviewing/fixing
<http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Category:Contains_Needs_Action>
o Pages that need formatting
<http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Category:Contains_Needs_Formatting>
o Missing pages (many may just need to be migrated), some may be
obsolete <http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Special:WantedPages>
* Improve developer documentation, including the creation of man
pages, etc.
But anyway, a long list of stuff that is needed can be found on the
Documentation Day Etherpad <http://openetherpad.org/TSPGIEOBiS>. I am
sure, you will find something that suits you. Instructions on how to use
the new wiki, can be found here
<http://wiki.xen.org/wiki/Wiki_Community> and on the front-page.
*The Protocol*
* Join us on IRC: freenode channel *#xendocday*
* Tell people what you intend to work on (to avoid doing something
somebody else is already working on)
* Fix some documentation
* Help others
* And above all: have fun!
I am looking forward to the day and hopefully documentation days will
become a regular Xen event. See you on IRC!
Regards
Lars
