I will be at the Code Sprint on Friday and if I am not pulled some other direction during the con, I will be available for helping things along. <br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Feb 27, 2008 at 7:52 AM, Addison Berry <<a href="mailto:drupal@rocktreesky.com">drupal@rocktreesky.com</a>> wrote:<br>

<br>
Drupalcon approacheth and I have a loose list of things that we could<br>
try to organize around on during the Friday (March 7) code/docs sprint<br>
(<a href="http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/codesprintt" target="_blank">http://boston2008.drupalcon.org/codesprintt</a>). I know not everyone can<br>
make it to Drupalcon, so I'd like to set up a #drupal-docs IRC channel<br>
during the sprint so folks can get in on the conversation and take<br>
part in the sprint as well.<br>
<br>
In the meantime here are some topics/tasks that are high on my radar<br>
for the sprint. Please add to this task list, particularly if you are<br>
willing to "head it up" as it were, i.e. explain the task and answer<br>
questions, get newbies situated for the task, etc.<br>
<br>
CVS docs: <a href="http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/handbook/cvs</a> (also related, the<br>
Maintaining a project section: <a href="http://drupal.org/node/7765" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/node/7765</a>)<br>
I have been slowly tinkering with this section and we will have Derek<br>
(dww) and other CVS/project devs handy for clarifying questions and a<br>
bunch of newer devs around to give feedback. This is a tricky place<br>
for lots of folks and my personal mission is to bring this section<br>
home (or at least closer.) :-)<br>
<br>
Clean URLs docs: <a href="http://drupal.org/node/15365" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/node/15365</a><br>
This is an important section for people setting up their site. It is<br>
overwhelming and a bunch of pages are pretty old. We need to review,<br>
update and consolidate.<br>
<br>
Getting Started for D6<br>
This is the new section Steven Peck started with D5. It is a<br>
different sort of section since the document is actually in DocBook<br>
format and then we export the pages for HTML and into the PDF doc we<br>
offer. This makes it a little harder to collaborate with upgrading it<br>
to 6, but with everyone in the room we should be able to make a lot of<br>
headway.<br>
<br>
Clean up the docs issue queue: <a href="http://drupal.org/project/issues/documentation" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/project/issues/documentation</a><br>
We've got almost 300 issues in the documentation queue, some going<br>
back 2 years. Let's systematically go through and review the issues to<br>
see which are still pertinent and try to weed it down a bit. Also a<br>
great way to find some random tasks that may interest you.<br>
<br>
Comment rolling: <a href="http://drupal.org/handbook/comments" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/handbook/comments</a><br>
Handbook pages shouldn't have comments. We need to review the pages<br>
that do and clean 'em up. First pass is to delete irrelevant and<br>
support questions. Then we need to look at the page and determine how<br>
to update the page (or add new, related pages) to address the<br>
meaningful comments. Josh Brauer has been doing great work on this<br>
front lately.<br>
<br>
Adding screenshots and graphics<br>
Everyone wants 'em! Docs team members can add 'em! Some prime<br>
candidates for this kind of thing are tutorials with screenies of the<br>
steps but we could also use things like charts and workflows to give<br>
people a picture to help make some concepts more clear.<br>
<br>
These last two items, Comment rolling and Screenshots, can be done<br>
anywhere and everywhere but some of the most popular pages (<a href="http://drupal.org/handbook/most-popular-pages" target="_blank">http://drupal.org/handbook/most-popular-pages</a><br>
) would be a good place to start with them.<br>
