> July 10 D7 docs IRC meeting summary and log
> ---------------
> Sorry for the delay in getting this up. Here is the IRC log for the  
> IRC meeting from July 10 where we discussed docs for Drupal 7: http://pastebin.com/f244a7fc2

> Here is a short summary of the major points:
> We need to identify what we consider "critical" for D7 docs. That  
> is, what is the minimum that is required when Drupal 7 official  
> release goes live. We also need to set up some sort of timeline and  
> then organize to get the work the done timely. There is a draft  
> outline getting built out at http://drupal.org/node/515870, in the  
> Docs Community Initiatives section. We need to keep fleshing this  
> out. We will have bi-weekly IRC meetings on D7 docs to keep this on  
> radar and make sure we keep moving forward incrementally.

> There are concerns about starting now and timing things out since so  
> much of the D7 interface is likely to change between now and code  
> freeze. There are certain areas, like upgrading, that should be  
> fairly stable to write against for now and the rest of our crucial  
> stuff should have a solid outline and skeleton writing done before  
> code freeze, Sept. 1, so that we can dive into the work during the  
> two sprints that will happen around Drupalcon Paris (both onsite and  
> online). There are also concerns about how this will fit in with the  
> new IA that is currently being worked on. Unfortunately we don't  
> have the time to wait for the new IA before we mobilize on D7 docs,  
> so we need to move ahead and, yeah, we may need to rip out and redo  
> sections once the new IA is in place. So be it.
