This proposal sounds reasonable. We can maintain the two in the same
branch while only building the user docs in the package.

Hello documentation zealots,
here's a brief summary of a discussion [1] on the IRC channel today:
- The user and contributor documentation are tracked on the same
branch
because they have many common assets
- The user and contributor documentation are however very different in
nature; the former is and needs to be release-specific and the latter
is
never release-specific
That said, I would like to propose the following:
- While keeping both documentation sources in the same branch, drop
contributor documentation from the default build target, thus, not
shipping it with the built documentation on the ISO
- As a consequence of the above, a slight content change needs to be
done for the start page to point to the online documentation (I can
take
this item)
- The contributor documentation can then be changed when needed and
docs.xubuntu.org updated with it, without explicitly requiring an
upload
for the package.
- Since the contributor documentation would still be available in the
source package, make sure the source has a note pointing to the newest
branch in case somebody wants to build the contributor documentation
(I
can take this item too)
Technically, this is only a slight change and we can fortunately keep
on
using the current Makefiles and build scripts.
Any comments? Agree or disagree?
Cheers,
Pasi
