Hi, Sri and the list! I happy to tell you that I have written another guide titled "Before you approach your mentor - Documentation" available here: http://sindhus.bitbucket.org/before-you-approach-your-mentor-documentation.html
I have written about the inspiration for both guides here: http://sindhus.bitbucket.org/announcing-newcomer-end-to-end-guides.html The source for both these guides is here: https://github.com/sindhus/guide-to-gnome-contribution On Thu, Aug 29, 2013 at 1:56 AM, Sriram Ramkrishna <[email protected]>wrote: > How do you plan on formally integrating something like thsi into our web > infrastructure? > I am not sure, could you give me ideas on how we can get started? The documents definitely need polishing and discussion as something that goes on GNOME infrastructure may be understood to be the official stance. The guides prescribe a specific Gnu/Linux distribution for the sake of explanation, this may not look OK on the GNOME infrastructure. Also I have been asked if this is different from the GNOME wiki pages about topics touched in the document, to which I say: Yes, the existing GNOME wiki pages are isolated tutorials. My guide talks about the marriage and blurry lines between bugzilla, terminal, git, patch iterations process and other resources such as mailing lists and IRC - basically the big picture. I believe it's important for newcomers to know the *Why* part of learning the tools required to contribute. Thank you! -Sindhu
