Re: Update on documentation progress of Geronimo v2.2

2008-12-12 Thread Ying Tang
Hi all,

The restructuring work for Geronimo 2.2
documentshas
drawn to an end. Please feel free to write about the new
features,
or any topic that you are interested in. And please keep everyone in the
loop if you make changes. Thanks.

Topics for advanced users have been labeled by the information mark (i).
They are kept where they were, as we guess Geronimo 2.2 probably has more
advanced topics. When the new topics are completed, all the advanced ones
will be moved to a separated section. Your comments are highly appreciated.


Thanks and Regards,
Ying Tang (Sophia)

I still think these topics are more geared towards developers...

As long as we cover using the console/gshell in the Admin section and 
leave all maven related usage to the developer section (and note that 
this is only for advanced users), then I'm fine with keeping them in the 
2.2 User Docs.

I guess we have some different understandings regarding "Users" of
Geronimo.My understanding is that Geronimo is an application server and its
primary user would be application developers. While they might need to know
what a plugin or a gbean is in Geronimo but don't have to build the source
code. That's where my proposal comes from. And mostly they would read
GMOxDOC to learn how to utilize Geronimo for their application development.

And we have another group of "Users"(actually I'd rather call them
"developers" ^_^), they are more interested in Geronimo structure, kernel
and keen on breakthroughs. In my understanding, they would go to GMOXDEV for
more information. 

Any other ideas, please speak up. :)

To me, the preferred way of using geronimo for anything other than  
experimentation with toy apps is to use your build system to build  
your apps, package them as geronimo plugins, and build a custom server  
assembly including your apps.  I'd prefer if the documentation clearly  
reflect this approach.  In any case I think anything relevant to this  
approach needs to be in the 2.2 docs.

Thanks Ted, SunLin and Donnald for your update and comments on Doc.

This week, we are working on page-merge and content deduplication in order
for better usability.

Major items include:

1. Remove duplication content between "Quick Start" and "Installing and
Running" chapters;

For example,  3 types of G assemblies configuration were introuduced twice,
so we remove the content from "Quick start" chapter and keep detail
description in another place.


2.  Join some certain topics within one page

For example,  "Starting server via Console" and "Starting via Gshell" are 2
leaves upon one task, another both are really short ones,  so we put them
together by including 2 leaves.   But we still keep both leaves as is for
future reuse.


For more details on the changes to "Quick Start" and "installing and
Running" chapter, please look into status page as below.

Re: Update on documentation progress of Geronimo v2.2

2008-11-17 Thread Ying Tang
Ted, thanks a lot for helping out.

We have created separate child pages for "Development
environment"
topics, and we are working on the other part of the documentation in the
same way.

Just as you mentioned, the current document has lots of duplication and we
also share the same concern about putting much information on one page,
which makes documents hard to reuse and might result in huge workload to
keep consistency within the topics.

The core concept of Geronimo is to let developers focus on their killer app
and I think we can utilize the same concept on writing Geronimo docs.


Best Regards,

Ying Tang (Sophia)


Re: Update on documentation progress of Geronimo v2.2

2008-11-14 Thread Ted Kirby
I "fixed up" some of the references to GEP pages.  There is some
duplication of GEP info between two sets of pages:  "Development
environment" and "How to install Geronimo Eclipse Plugin".  A couple
of months ago I removed the installation instructions from the former,
and replaced them with a link to the latter.  The idea is to keep this
information in one place.  You can follow the gory details of this
work in GERONIMODEVTOOLS-461.  The plan is that there will be a "How
to install Geronimo Eclipse Plugin" page for each release.  Old and
new releases are children of this page.

The design of "Development environment" page seemed to be to put
everything on one big page.  I don't think this is a good approach.  I
think pages should be shorter and more focused.  For example, breaking
out the installation information.

Hopefully, we can all by in sync moving forward.  I think the GEP doc
needs some work in terms of integrating it into the overall G doc, and
eliminating duplication.  Hopefully this can occur in G 2.2 and
beyond.

Thanks,
Ted Kirby

Please use firefox to view the table. I just tried with IE, it turns out to
be an deadlock(keep refreshing the page).  Not sure about the reason yet. :(
