Meeting

Hey Team -

I'm hoping to do "Office Hours" again on IRC tomorrow from 1-2pm PST. If you're working on the couple issues left in the April Sprint or anything else, I should be around on IRC to answer questions and do reviews (or facilitate peer reviews).

Hey Team -

I'll be holding "Office Hours" on IRC tomorrow from 1-2pm PST. Anyone who's working on the April Sprint or anything else that you need feedback on, I will be hanging out on IRC to answer questions and do reviews (or facilitate peer reviews).

If you need more info on IRC, there's a bunch on the Drupal.org IRC page, and we'll be in the #drupal-docs channel.

Hope to see you then!

Our current d.o documentation is maintained by angels: highly altruistic people who give without expecting to receive much. We love our angels, but this is not how it's supposed to be, documentation is just as important if not more than code.

In this BoF we'll explore how we could make documentation modular and reusable so that every single page of documentation you write for a project in the future becomes a potential source for reusable, contributable documentation on drupal.org.

We'll meet for an hour, starting at 2 p.m. EDT (find your time), in the #drupal-docs IRC channel on the Freenode network to discuss the new IA work on the Theming Guide and answer any questions about the guidelines page or other issues that you may have.

Next Drupal 7 docs IRC meeting (freenode #drupal-docs) will be for one hour on Friday, August 14 at 2 pm EDT (18:00 GMT, 8pm CET, 11am PDT, find your time). We'll see where we are on updating the installation and upgrade guides, as well as touch base on the sprints that have been happening.

Let's keep the Drupal 7 docs on our radar. Next IRC meeting (freenode #drupal-docs) will be for one hour on Friday, July 31 at 2 pm EDT (18:00 GMT, 8pm CET, 11am PDT, find your time). We'll go over and continue to flesh out the overview list, as well as assign tasks to be done in the next two weeks.

We will meet on IRC (#drupal-docs on Freenode) Friday, July 10 at 2 p.m. EDT (18:00 GMT, 11 a.m. PDT). This meeting is to start getting ourselves organized for Drupal 7 documentation. We need to determine what our minimum needs are for docs that will be ready on the day Drupal 7 launches (whenever that is) and at least a rough schedule to make sure we deliver on time. Code freeze is on September 1, 2009 and release will most likely be at least a few months after that.

It has been a while since we have had an IRC meeting. I will be publishing published a doc "roadmap" of a plan on how to tackle some of the bigger doc issues sometime this week (June 7- 12). I'd like to give folks time to digest it and then have an IRC meeting next week (Tuesday, June 16) for people to discuss, raise questions, yell at me, help organize, etc. I'm setting this meeting time in advance rather than Doodle because I have a very intense travel schedule now and so only have narrow windows that I can set aside for this.

Zee Doodle has spoken. We'll meet on Thursday, Feb. 19 from 2 - 3 p.m. EST (19:00 GMT, 11 a.m. PST) for one hour in the #drupal-docs IRC channel on Freenode.

Mark Boulton gave us an editorial guide for the redesign that is just around the corner (like within a month or so). The editorial guide covers all of the text on D.o so we need to review it, discuss and decide the best course of action to implement it. You can read the guide here: http://infrastructure.drupal.org/drupal.org-style-guide/editorial.html . Please talk about this and ask questions on the mailing list prior to the IRC meeting to hash things out. This will be a major task for us to tackle in the coming months (maybe even a Drupalcon sprint project / March doc challenge) so let's hammer on it a bit and be ready.

We'll meet on IRC in #drupal-docs for one hour in Sunday, January 18 at 2 pm EST (11 am PST, 19:00 GMT). Note that this meeting will start right after the regularly scheduled January "challenge hour" for that day.
