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
