BoF Notes

(notes by Frederik, please extend)

Doc english as mailing list: not the perfect list name

quality of documentation

  • list on techbase
  • quality of documentation - Albert says there is a page about it, status is good, but translations lacking [1]

what's this help, tooltips

  • tooltips too large: on small screen it covers too much, what's this would be better here
  • should what's this be in tooltips?

userbase documentation

  • parley manual as guinea pig
  • page size, images, links, semantics
  • versioning of manuals
  • file uploading
  • translation of screenshots - mass uploads being worked on

do we need/have a native editor for wikis?


why not wiki to html/pdf directly


specify what should be in manuals (eg not "how to compile")

formats: gnome

offline docs

Annew:

  • people needed to do the incredibly boring stuff regularily - eg fix tamplates

blog on planetkde about userbase manual writing
