Hi,
We need to decide how we want to document xwiki.org with regards to project versions and skins. For example the screenshot and features described can depend on 2 factors: - the project version (XE version for ex) - the skin used
Project versions =============
We have several choices: 1) We make the doc only for the latest version and in this case we should probably export the pages at release time and make it available as a zipped HTML export so that people using the older version can refer to them. 2) We make the doc work the last 2 releases. That would be either 2.1 and 2.0.5 or 2.2M1 and 2.1 depending on how we view it and depending on whether we want to document on xwiki.org before we release or not.
Personally I think I prefer option 1 with a little addition: - whenever something that is new to the last release is documented, we should add a little "New" logo (possibly with the version value, "New in 2.2" for example). This could be done with a wiki macro.
If option 1 is chosen then we need to add a step to the release process.
1) seams better. I don't understand the export as HTML part, what do you want to export exactly ?
Skins ====
Again we have several choices: 1) Document only for the latest skin 2) Document for all supported skins. Right now that would be Toucan + Colibri (not sure about Albatross, I don't think we've officially said it wasn't supported).
Since Colibri and Toucan depends on Albatross it's kind of supported de facto.
If we were to do 2) then this that for example this page http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/WatchlistApplication would need to contain screenshots for all supported skins *OR* there should be different screenshots only when the skins have different features. This is the case here since the location of menus and actions are quite different.
I'm hesitating more for this one... 1) is definitely easier for us so I'm tempted to propose 1) but with the proviso that we make it clear in the text when a feature is available only for a given skin (for ex: the Show Code menu action is avail in Colibri but not in Toucan).
+1 for 1), i think 2) is not realistic currently (I'm not even sure 1) is, at least we are far from it currently)
WDYT?
When we agree we should put the result on dev.xwiki.org in a new page describing how xwiki.org is documented.
Thanks -Vincent
