I'm interested in helping with writing documentation. I don't have any experience with docbook but I run KDE from trunk and have a decent grasp of the English language. Is there an introductory document somewhere that explains how to get started? <blockquote type="cite">On Nov 19, 2009 7:17 AM, "Richard JOHNSON" <<a href="mailto:nixternal@ubuntu.com">nixternal@ubuntu.com</a>> wrote: Hola! OK, I am starting to plan on how to go about doing the documentation for Lucid. Right now there is no doubt that a complete rewrite is necessary for us to even have something decent, as updating the old documentation would just be a royal pain. As some of you may know we use a topic based approach, though quite fake in our setup, and a bit of a pain as well. I have started outlining the topics to cover with our system documentation [1]. Note, if you are interested in helping to contribute to the docs this session, please do speak up. We use DocBook/XML with the Article !DOCTYPE. It is very simple markup and if you can figure out HTML then DocBook should be just as easy. We will continue using DocBook/XML until something better comes along to suit our needs. Because of this we do not write documentation on the wiki, though we do use documentation from the wiki. If you do not know how to DocBook and don't want to learn it, you are free to send a .txt file or such and one of us (myself or Jonathan Jesse) can convert it to DocBook for you. If you can think of any other topics that NEED to be covered, please add them under the section 'Needed Topics' at the bottom of the wiki page [1]. Thanks!
