[Xerte] Wiki

Tue Apr 28 13:20:20 BST 2009

I think the wiki Mark has set up is great. We need to start to think
about the sort of infomration you all want to see there and start to put
some basic structure together. Far better that we have one place for all
the documentation for all the different types of users: toolkits
authors, xerte developers, open-source code contributers, template
developers and so on.

I am guessing it would be helpful to orgainse infomration by role and
task (i.e. I am a Toolkits author and I want to install the
application...)

Hi Julian

Apologies for not responding sooner - was delivering Toolkits training
all day yesterday.

When we were discussing the use of a wiki off-list recently I was
thinking that would be for developing the spec for the support material
rather than the actual support material. But as has been suggested
subsequently an installation of MediaWiki might do both
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki as an example a lot of the
moodle documentation is provided via MediaWiki
http://docs.moodle.org/en/Main_Page

I think there needs to be documentation for people developing the
software, and documentation for people using the software. It could be
in the same place, or in different places as the two groups will have
quite different requirements. Googlecode happened to have a convenient
wiki which is what Pat has started to use today. Sourceforge have also
just approved my project request, so now is a good time for us to decide
google code or sourceforge once and for all. I might set up a project on
soirceforge anyway adn then we can vote or something. You can see the
google code pages already. I like the simplicity a lot - it fits well
with our FWS design principles for the software itself.

Mark - how would we add users to the wiki you set up? That (or something
similar) should probably host the bulk of the user docs, and be the one
place for info on using Xerte in its various forms. I would love it if
someone were to step forward and take on managing that space.

We have several people primed to start creating documentation and I'm
keen it doesn't become fragmented. 

Alistair and Ron: would a wiki meet your needs? wiki.xerte.net in
particular.

10 repositories.

1 for those that speak binary, 1 for those that don't - or grom my take
so far on the installs of XOT, we have the sysadmin types who would want
the scope to do whatever they wanted, and the dabblers who want
something a little more light.

Totally your call, but I'm not sure about the facility of splitting
locations...
