documentation

I want to start compiling a views FAQ.

There are LOTS of frequently asked questions, and particularly in the areas of HOWTO. One of the problems I have, as a person, is that I need this data to be compiled before I can act on it. Therefore, I'm asking people to help me out a bit.

Please, comment here with common questions (and answers if you have them, but they are not as necessary). Give links if there's an intricate discussion involved.

With Views it's pretty easy to build a simple FAQ engine just with taxonomy, so that's going to be one of the first FAQs. The only additional piece that I think is needed is weighting, and I believe weight.module will do that without any fuss or muss.

Hello to everyone in this group. I work at a web design firm that frequently used Drupal for the backbone of our sites. We always advertise to our clients that their sites are editable and give them an hour or two of training to show them the basics of content creation. However, its rare that a new user retains all of the information that they need to. What we need is a simple end users guide going over the basics of content editing, making pages, using the menu system etc... I have been given a full day next week to put together the best guide possible (given the time constraints).

So my question is What training material do you give end users?

The long-neglected VotingAPI documention is finally getting some attention. Those interested in reviewing the docs as they're written, helping with suggestions, or asking questions can check out the under-construction VotingAPI section of the Drupal Handbook:

• VotingAPI: A framework for voting and rating modules
• VotingAPI: The basics for developers
• VotingAPI: Full control for complex voting modules
• VotingAPI: Hooks for greater control
• VotingAPI: Data storage overview

I tentatively signed up to be part of the Maintenance group (tentatively, because I wasn't really sure what the job description was, and I didn't want to volunteer for a full-time position -- this kind of falls under greggles' item number 7 of his post). After I signed up, I looked around the site to see if I could determine what needed to be done, but I found nothing that I could do that I had any control over, nor any sort of documentation or instructions on how or where to proceed. Since then, I've been just kind of watching and waiting to see if that would change, but it hasn't. At this point, there doesn't really seem to be anything to do that I have any control over, other than make comments like this. Is there anything to do that I have any control over, and if so, what and/or where?

Okay, I sent Boris a list of questions, because I didn't really know where they belonged or if they belonged. Based on his reply to me, I'm putting them here, in separate posts, since I believe they are different topics (but I may be wrong -- I'm sure someone will correct me, if I am).

Is there going to be some defined structure (read: documentation) as to what content is appropriate for the site or parts of the site and where the content should be placed?
