I can appreciate your perspective, Gregory. On my list in the short term is:
On the coffee break intro - which is quite good: * Fill out the Generama page a little more (even just background info). * Add another page which is tied to the QDox API - the classes and methods available via the velocity template when you're working with the parsed java model. Essentially a "cheat-sheet" for writing the plugin templates. * Add some download link templates to the Your own plugin section. Generally: * Make some minor grammar edits. * What's the story with the plugin docs? They're the main villains IMHO. The QTags @foo.bar is kind-of amusing however. This would be the autogen, yes? I agree you shouldn't delegate documentation to someone you've never met (or really even talked to) before - but my bluntness seems to have got the conversation moving, right? +1 for agreeing on what needs to be worked on - but hey, I don't have a vote, right. Essentially, my main dislike with the docs/site is that it doesn't feel "cohesive" - I need to store a lot of links in favourites to get the information I need - JavaClass definition in templates, things like that. XDoclet is a combination of technologies, and there's a danger that the information changes due to changes in dependent projects - that's the risk I guess. -Greg > -----Original Message----- > From: Grégory Joseph [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Saturday, 10 December 2005 2:24 a.m. > To: dev@xdoclet.codehaus.org > Subject: Re: [xdoclet-dev] Documentation > > Greg, > > On 09/12/05, Greg Kerdemelidis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > The documentation on the Codehaus XDoclet2 site is really bad guys. > > > > Do you want me to come through and try to flesh it out? > > > > Yes, of course, any help is appreciated, but - and I don't mean to be > aggressive - you might as well start by being constructive and point > out where and what is "bad".
