Kathy and others,

On a related note, just yesterday I created a very basic version of the DIG "2.4 Outline and Assignments" from the DIG home page, and I also put a link next to it for your "EG 2.4 needs" page for easy access.

Thanks,
Yamil

Hi all!

Evergreen 2.4 beta has been out for a couple of weeks and brings with it some nice new features that need documentation. I took some time to go through the release notes and identify new features that would benefit from some documentation. I've identified those documentation needs at http://evergreen-ils.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=evergreen-docs:2.4_needs .

The new features that came through Equinox development already have documentation on its way - thank you ESI!

We need volunteers to document several other features that came from other developers. Some may just require a couple of sentences to be added to existing docs while others might require a chapter on their own. In many cases, I identified places in the documentation where I thought the feature could be incorporated. Some of these new features offer a great opportunity for those who are new to DIG to provide a contribution. If you would like to volunteer, please add your name to the wiki in blue so that we don't have people duplicating efforts. If you don't have a wiki account, you can get one by sending an e-mail to [email protected].

Although DIG uses AsciiDoc as the format for documentation, you can contribute your documentation in any format, such as Word or Open Office.

I also have a question for the larger group regarding the Evergreen in Action manual. I identified a couple of new features that should make it into the manual if we decide to offer a 2.4 version of the manual. It doesn't look like it will take a lot of work - there were a couple of OPAC features, something for Vandelay, and possibly a couple of acquisitions features. Is there any interest in keeping this manual up to date for 2.4? If so, I'll be happy to update the sections for acquisitions and Vandelay; we would then just need a volunteer to handle the two OPAC features.

Robert, ESI already has documentation for the link checker that is available in 2.4 - http://www.esilibrary.com/esi/docs/asciidoc/2.4_Link_Checker_doc/2.4_Link_Checker.txt . I also noticed that the documentation for hiding fields in the copy editor (2.2) did not appear to make it into the official docs. Would you be willing to add those?

Thanks!
Kathy
