Hello everybody,
Jordan Mantha started the discussion about moving the Packaging Guide
from DocBook in the Doc Team SVN to the Ubuntu wiki:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-motu/2007-September/002290.html
In order to get more opinions and input on this, we decided to move the
discussion over here.
I try to sum up the pros and cons of the discussion here:
=== Cons ===
* probably no nice printable version
* malicious editing, harder to have QA for it
* work to get the DocBook -> Moin transition right
* what happens to the packaging-guide package?
* licensing
=== Pros ===
* much easier to edit
* more accessible to everybody
* benefits of being able to easier merge docs or link from wiki
pages to others
(https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CategoryMOTUUbuntuPackagingMerge lists
a few apges, I'd merge into the Packaging Guide)
* more discoverable
* best way to deal with our manpower
There were other proposals during the discussion:
* moving the packaging-guide from svn to bzr
* making it formal part of the MOTU process to contribute patches
to it
* asking new contributors to update the documentation of FAQ in
return for answered questions
* splitting the whole MOTU namespace into PackagingGuide
UbuntuDevelopment and MOTU and exercise caution to keep it that
way
Please follow up on the thread, having good and well-maintained
documentation is crucial to getting more developers on board.
Have a nice day,
Daniel
