Project - open

We need to make sure that we have a clear, complete Getting Started guide for Drupal 6, along the same lines as the Drupal 5 guide. We are currently discussing how to approach this. Originally we were just going to duplicate the D5 guide. We should have an approach and start implementation by Monday, November 24.

HansBKK is currently lead on the workgroup to help create a single, well-organized Theming Guide, and will be the main point of contact for questions. Any interested documentation team members are invited to join in this effort. Others that would like to contribute should first request to join the docs team; see the "Pitch In!" section below.

History

The original post in the documentation team's issue queue discussing this project was Reorganize Theme handbooks and the currently active one is Theming doc workgroup forming.

See the announcement for this project posted to drupal.org's front page.

Current project stage

Addi has merged the main D5 and D6 theming guides into one. There are still four other major locations for theming information in the drupal.org handbooks that are candidates for merging once we have a decent structure:

• Beyond the Basics: Theme HowTos
• BtB: Theming snippets
• BtB: Contributed themes
• BtB: Comparisons of contrib themes

plus of course many valuable contributions scattered around in other parts of the Handbooks.

The Getting Involved handbook project has been in the works since March 2008. For background on this project, read the Drupal.org front page post.
