2) the wiki is in a horrid state and the manual could need some cleanups
as well (e.g. moving stuff like the long discussions at the end and
other smaller things). as the response on my "Road to 1.0" mail was
rather low and we all don't like to do these things on our own I am for
holding another mini sprint, i.e. one full or two half days, depending
on the feedback, this time called "docathon" because of the emphasis on
documentation. we should roughly team up beforehand though so that we do
not end with an inconistent result at the end.
I'd like to help with the documentation. If it's a matter of
reorganising what's already there, cleaning up awkward phrasing,
making things less obscure than the are already (provided I know
what needs to be said) I can certianly help.
If it's a metter of providing information that's not there at
the moment, I can't say I can help; most of my knowledge of
monotone comes from the documentation, and what's not there is
not there.
But I can draft best guesses that might be of use to beginners,
subject to complaints by those who really know the stuff.
We need a lot of first user documentation, for example "monotone for XXX
users" where "XXX" is one of git, mercurial and svn (at least). We have
a mtn for cvs users part in the manual, but I'd like to move that out
there and put it into the wiki to the others. This is just an example,
there are other first user docs needed as well.
So, as a proficient user you are the perfect match to work on the
documentation and your work is very welcome! :)
I am not available in November, though.
We have to find a matching date before anyways and its unlikely that
this will be in November, so no problem at all.
I'll probably have to
register in some way with the wiki or the central monotone
repository, though. Where and how do I do that? I gather the
details have changed recently.
If you want to edit the wiki, you can do so online (register an account
and start editing) or offline via monotone.
For the latter register an account on code.monotone.ca and put your
public key there. Once you've done that drop me a note and I'll add you
to the appropriate project (monotone-web) for push access.
Thanks,
Thomas.
