Re: Introducing Ruth - documentation

2015-07-30 Thread Adam Bordelon
We should start with our Confluence wiki:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/MYRIAD/Myriad+Home
It's also recommended that we create a proper website at
http://myriad.incubator.apache.org/

I'd rather we didn't rely on gh-pages, especially since the github repo is
just a mirror of Apache git, so we can't actually use github PRs without
downloading the patches, applying them locally, and then pushing to Apache
git.

 Myriad Team, I want to introduce you to Ruth Harris from the MapR
 documentation team.  She'll be leading the lead on documentation for
 Myriad, hopefully with ample help from each of you.

 She's been digging into Myriad for a few weeks now, and has a preliminary
 outline.  I'll let her reply to this and send it to start getting feedback.

 One thing she needs is a place to start posting to.  Looking at other
 Apache projects, it seems like the most common practice is to use a
 gh-pages branch of the main github
 https://github.com/apache/incubator-myriad.

 Adam - could you create the branch so she has something to send PRs to?
 Jim - you seem to be our resident web/css expert.  Any chance you could
 build a simple layout for the doc site?

 Thanks!
 Will

Hi Ruth.

Can I (as mentor) request that we go through the formalism of asking Ruth to 
submit contributor PRs that an existing committer reviews and merges for awhile 
before we hold a vote about granting her committership? It's the Apache Way to 
treat everybody the same after the initial bootstrapping is done.

I second Danese's request.
