As many of you know, I've been working on a system called Pulse to help us track our documentation. It's now at a stage where it can offer genuinely useful information that can significantly help use prioritize our efforts.
http://www.gnome.org/~shaunm/pulse/web/ We can easily see what documents exist, but what we really need to know is what the status of each document is. In order to do this, I've come up with a system of recording status information directly in the DocBook. I've written a proposal for how I think we should handle this: http://live.gnome.org/DocumentationProject/StatusTracking I would appreciate it if you could look this over and offer suggestions. A system that doesn't work for our community won't solve our problems, so it's important that I know how well you all think this will work for your workflow. Note that I believe the proposed system can also help our intrepid translators. I don't believe we are ready yet to impose hard freezes on documentation, but this system does impose freezes on any documents marked as "final". While not a complete solution, this can at least help translators prioritize which documents they work on. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ gnome-doc-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-doc-list
