That's a good question - it's been a while. Stefan do you recall the rules around this?
I also am unfamiliar with those services, but would they support the effort underway for DocFX? I think DocFX outputs some nice HTML which should be pretty easy for us to host at apache -----Original Message----- From: George Kinsman [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 6, 2017 5:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Mailing List Documentation I'd be willing to help out with this in whatever form. Since this project is an Apache one, does that preclude it from using something other than apache hosted docs? Something a little more user friendly like ReadMe (ReadMe.io) or ReadTheDocs might be useful? (ReadTheDocs.io). Both have free open source licenses/allowances - a great example of readme is here: https://docs.getseq.net/docs. Cheers, George From: Prescott Nasser Sent: Friday, July 7, 06:45 Subject: RE: Mailing List Documentation To: [email protected] Since that was a while ago, I don't think it made it anywhere. Also not sure there is a benefit to digging through the mailing list again - let's just make this a re-ask for help? Or open up a new thread with a better subject to catch some attention? -----Original Message----- From: Shad Storhaug [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 6, 2017 1:41 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Mailing List Documentation I have to dig through the email, but as I recall we had 2 volunteers offer their help to build our web site. At the time I assumed that they were being contacted offline or on a list that I didn't have access to. Do you know if they were replied to? Perhaps they still have the time and willingness to help...? -----Original Message----- From: Prescott Nasser [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, July 7, 2017 3:35 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Mailing List Documentation I couldn't for the life of me remember (or find out) how to get you permissions. So I filed a ticket with INFRA (https://issues.apache.org/jira/servicedesk/agent/INFRA/issue/INFRA-14530). Definitely need to update all of our documentation and website. I'm not a web designer - but I can help any community member who is and who wants to help us revamp our web presence? I'm following the progress on this PR https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/pull/206, which I think will solve our documentation issues. Just need to get a lot of people writing up samples on how to get started using Lucene and different features -----Original Message----- From: Shad Storhaug [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, July 6, 2017 1:13 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Mailing List Documentation Hello, We received a complaint (https://github.com/synhershko/LuceneNetDemo/issues/3#issuecomment-307391518) from someone who wanted to contribute, but couldn't figure out how to sign up for the dev list because (apparently) the WIKI documentation isn't clear enough (https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/LUCENENET/Mailing+Lists). He tried to signup using the *actual* email listed on the page ([email protected]) and it bounced. He also made mention of our out of date documentation on the web site and WIKI pages. What happened with the web site revamp project and can we get that going now that we are officially on NuGet? People get the impression the project is dead. Also, could someone give me access to the WIKI so I can start working on updating the docs there? Is that the recommended place to add documentation (such as walkthroughs, .NET platform specific setup instructions, etc.) or should we aim to make that part of the API documentation (https://github.com/apache/lucenenet/pull/206)? While we are on that subject, is the plan to put the new API docs at http://incubator.apache.org/lucene.net/docs/3.0.3/Index.html (with the new version number), or somewhere else? Thanks, Shad Storhaug (NightOwl888)
