Definitly. I mean, it makes sense to keep them in the same docs.qgis.org
page, but they shouldn't be under any specific version of QGIS, so maybe we
need to come up with a new structure for it.

My position would be like yours: separate version-based docs from the
"static" ones, we can move them to the static repo (aka website) but it
wonder if it's technically possible and wouldn't make sense to keep them
next to the documentation (from the end user point of view).

Re: [Qgis-community-team] [Qgis-user] [Qgis-psc] User question of the month

I'm a bit disappointed by the number of replies. I'd have expected more
answers (everybody uses plugins, right?)

For the next question of the month, I'd be interesetd in something
regarding the docs and its usage. Some rough ideas to polish for the survey:
1- What is your first source of information on QGIS features: SE, QGIS
lists/user groups, local forum, QGIS doc, web browser, social network,
others... (to sort by frequency of usage) - Here I mean when they want to
learn something not hear about something
2- If/When you use QGIS doc, does it answer your needs? Yes, no, i don't
use (or we can graduate: always, often, rarely, never(?)...)
3- How often do you use the QGIS Doc?
4- Suggestions for improvements or other comments... (on what they miss or
think docs should be/do)

Now that we are releasing the 3.4 docs, it should be fair to know whether
people do refer to the docs, use them and get feedbacks (critics or
expectations for the next round).

Harrissou

Re: [Qgis-community-team] [Qgis-psc] Google season of docs

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Tim,

It might be that you mix up the two Google programs. This one is solely 
about documentation - not about implementations.


Implementations should go the Google summer of code program, not the 
Google seasons of docs program.


Unless it would about sharing documentation ;-) ?

Google seasons of docs seems to be a new program which was launched just 
now. I think it would be a good opportunity to participate for us, as we 
are often a bit short of funds and also struggle to find documenters.


Greetings,

Andreas

Hi all,

Here is some opportunity to get more funds for QGIS documentation:

Google would fund, depending on the country of the participants,

Possible projects: Update of Python cookbook, more updates to 
training manual, processing, certain new chapters in the manual - others?

[Qgis-community-team] Documentation Split

[Alexandre Neto]

Hi all,

At the hackfest, and even before that, we have been talking about splitting
the documentation in more that one repository.

If I recall, the kick-off for this discussion started because the
QGIS-Documentation repository includes docs that are tied to a particular
version of QGIS (user manual, pycookbook, training manual) and need to be
released in every LTR, and "static" or independent pages like the Developer
guide or Documentation Guidelines, that can/should be updated whenever we
want.

I would like to discuss this splitting: How many repositories, and which?
Any opinions?

Personally, I don't think we need to split every document in one repo, has
that will only lead to more work managing it. Could we just move the
"static" content to the website? That is:

QGIS-Documentation
