[xwiki-users] XWiki Documentation day - Idea
Hello XWiki community, I have been following other open source communities and there one, the XenServer community, that has a nice initiative, the Xen Document Day: http://wiki.xenproject.org/wiki/Xen_Document_Days/TODO " Xen Project document days are all day IRC events, facilitated by members of the Xen Project community. The purpose of Xen Project Document Days is to Improve user documentation Improve developer documentation, including the creation of man pages, etc. Improve and maintaining the wiki: this means fixing important pages, retiring old ones, help identify what is and isn't important, write new pages, etc." Do you think that this idea could be applicable to XWiki?

Danilo, I think this is a good idea. From my personal experience, I'm often not sure where to look, for example, which site/page/forum/etc. is the best reference; or where I should post my comments/questions; or how to document what I've learned to share with others. The Document Day would not only help to create and aggregate existing content, it would also help folks learn where information is and what different resources (wiki, forums, etc) are for. I'd help, Patrick On 05/28/2014 07:34 AM, Danilo Amaral de Oliveira wrote:

Hi Danilo, This is definitely a good idea and one that we’ve proposed already (see http://markmail.org/message/avl4tl5xuefe7s7w). FTR on this page we’ve listed all our ideas for the XWiki Day: http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/XWikiDays Now we’ve had a lot of bank holidays in France in May that were on Thursdays (our XWiki Day!) and thus I have not been very active on pushing this forward lately. Tomorrow is again a bank holiday in France and I won’t be there and several xwiki committers won’t be here either (Guillaume, Thomas, just to name a few). So if someone wants to organize an XWiki Day tomorrow please stand up! :) I’m sending a new mail on the devs list to decide what type of day to do next. Thanks -Vincent On 28 May 2014 at 13:34:58, Danilo Amaral de Oliveira ([email protected](mailto:[email protected])) wrote:
