Danish Muneer commented on COUCHDB-1787:
----------------------------------------
I have worked in Python, and I am interested in doing this project. Can anyone
give a more detailed approach to the issue, I am a student and could not figure
out very clearly. I have understood that some documentations are needed to be
extracted automatically using Python code and presented in a suitable manner
for the release managers, making their work a bit easy.
> Automate release process documentation
> --------------------------------------

> Key: COUCHDB-1787
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/COUCHDB-1787
> Project: CouchDB
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build System, Documentation
> Reporter: Dave Cottlehuber
> Labels: gsoc2013, sphinx
>
> The release process today contains a large number of manual transformation
> steps.
> Fixing this will make the release process significantly easier for release
> managers, as well as less error-prone.
> Ideally the output formats (NEWS, CHANGES in source tree, and HTML snippets
> for http://couchdb.org/ website and http://blogs.apache.org/couchdb ) can be
> auto-generated from either the .rst files in share/doc/src using sphinx's
> .versionaddded/changed tags, or potentially from commit messages if this is
> appropriate.
> CouchDB documentation is generated today from restructured text using python
> code, and rolled into the release documentation during `make distcheck`.
