Hey Lars. I was wondering that since we are using the wiki for our documentation if you or anyone else had any ideas on how to associate/organize versions of the wiki with versions of Yoko releases.

Each page in a confluence space has to have a unique name, so when you're done with one release it's not easy to create a copy of existing docs inside the YOKO space to start working on the docs of the next release.

Geronimo solves this by having one confluence space per major release. I don't think that this scales well to a large number of releases, and it clutters peoples dashboard page, but it's the only option I see if we want to keep all version docs in the wiki.

The other option is to somehow create a snapshot of the wiki docs (e.g. export space to PDF) just before we cut the release, check that in to svn and distribute it with the release tarball. That way we would only have to keep our latest docs online. There are some legal implications with this approach, however.

Also, I was thinking that it might be a good idea if we fleshed out a skeleton of our documentation for the community to fill in. Maybe file Jira issues for where gaps in the docs could be filled in. This way we would have a concrete idea as to what needed to be done.

Thoughts?

Yes, more concrete work items would be very helpful. I'll see if I can come up with some user questions that need to be answered over the weekend, but no promises (busy weekend schedule already).

Lars
