just work with the master repo. If all you are doing is doc changes, the fact that the main repo has code in it won't matter to you. just fork, edit and send pull requests.

Currently there is no documents repo. :) I was just going to create a starting 
on my account to save Rainer time. Transferring it over to the Rsyslog 
organization later takes no time at all.

Why not just fork + add/edit + send a PR?  I just did that for some minor 
README mods.

I've started digging in with the link that Rainer gave me. It is an
good start. I'm going to look into customizing the output to be
something more familiar. That being said, the really nice part is that
once this is done, from what I can tell, the raw .rst files that are
used to generate everything once uploaded into github will be viewable
right there in a nice, clean format that is comparable to the outputted 
material.

Rainer -

I'm going to create a rsyslog-docs repo in my personal account to
commit to. Once I get something solid to work with, I'll toss a link
for everyone to look at and if everyone likes it we can move it into
the rsyslog organization on github.

Progress, not perfection.  +1. :)

Fingers crossed that James' research around doc format and conversion
results in something actionable.

Btw. I'm confused now.  Where are the docs going to live?  My
feeling was Github, so I'm not sure why WP account would be needed.


Tactical vs. strategical approach. We have seen that folks have
problems with the current HTML format. A very simple and instant
solution is to use the project web directly. We do this already for
FAQ-type of things, or things that otherwise do make limited sense
inside the doc set itself. An example for the latter is the dynamic
repository pointer I posted today -- the whole point is that it is
NOT inside the tarball, so that we can change it -for all doc
versions- when there is need to. Another thing is policies that may
change over
time.

In any case, using WP gets us started today, whereas otherwise we
need to wait until agreement on new doc system everybody feels
comfortable with. I love the current momentum, and I fear that now
waiting for the
"right"
solution will cause loss of this momentum. In the longer term, all
of this can be integrated into the new doc that hopefully becomes
available within the next couple of month.

Does this sound fair enough?

Rainer

 This doesn't feel
right... don't you want to have just 1 place for docs that people
contribute to? (and then figure out how to transform to other
formats to publish elsewhere, if needed).


Thanks,
Otis

Hi Rainer,

Yes, thanks, I want :)

Though I think I'll begin by contributing doc improvements via
GitHub first. I'll also think of an (easy) way to make the
documentation more obvious, more up-to-date.

In the light of the latest discussions, this is easier said than
done,
so
for now I think we have quite a lot of ideas and we need to
switch to actually doing them :)

Radu, James, all,

if you like, I can create accounts for you on the rsyslog site
so
that
you
can create FAQ and similar content right there. This is a
pretty
plain
Wordpress site, so no need to know HTML or anything else but
how to
use a
browser ;)

Let me know and we can get this started *today*.

Rainer
