Meeting minutes:
*Attendees*
Barbara Higgins, Kunal Deo, Wenling Chen, Kathy Slattery, Pattie
Levinson, Jyothi Srinath, Diane Plampin, Dolores Eccles, Kelly
Nishimura, Barbara Lundquist.
*AI review*
* Need for part numbers on wiki-based docs: Alan coordinating with
G11N. Based on strategy to take snapshot of the wiki space and
"freeze" that set of content for the release, Dolores believes it
is unnecessary to apply part numbers to each wiki doc. She noted
this is practice for a couple of other projects and part numbers
are not required. Alan marking as closed.
* Kathy noted that if we get to the point where we create branded
PDF documents from wiki source, may need part numbers.
*Next release doc status / direction*
* Recent discussions of our server admin task analysis has been well
received and is driving us to a more modular, task-based approach
for documentation.
* Leads to greater use of the wiki and strategy to copy it to
provide release specific content.
* Task analysis for server admin = good, but need something similar
for application developers. Alan and Alta trying to pull this
together.
* Alan has new action item to give Kelly info progress/findings by 4/8.
* Alan has action to create wiki content architecture and would like
to bring to this group for discussion by next meeting. Diane asked
that if it can be done sooner than next meeting, that would be
good. Alan trying to match match role-focus with task-based content.
* Alan noted that the release still includes core docs supporting
OSOL - published via HTML and DLC site (Getting Started, IPS, et
al.).
*Completion process*
* As with last release, writers should use the internal
final-content mail alias as final notification that content is
done and ready for G11N.
* If for any reasons there are changes after that, submit exact
changes (via same email) so G11N can determine how to respond.
*Election summary*
* New board elected: John Beck, Valerie Fenwick, Michelle Olson,
Simon Phipps, John Plocher, Peter Tribble, and Jim Walker.
* New constitution did not pass. There is discussion underway about
next steps regarding constitutional matters.
*Other*
* Alan noted recent glitches in use of docs-discuss email and forum.
Said to notify website-discuss if you experience such problems.
(Update, turns out there was a problem in the configuration and
docs-discuss topics were being forwarded to website discuss. This
should now be fixed.)
* Dolores asked about upcoming deliveries to G11N:
o Alan reported that chapter 1 of the Getting Started Guide
(for Live CD) is on track to deliver this Friday, 4/3.
o Jyothi clarified that IPS online help delivery date is 4/10,
although she might be able to deliver earlier.
