====== Documentation session ======

The %%FreeBSD%% Documentation team are using an extra day before the 201208DevSummit to discuss documentation topics - this is on Tuesday 28 August, from 10am in room FW11 of the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, and should enable doc people to also attend the main [[/DevSummit|DevSummit]].

A provisional agenda is set out below - and will evolve as the day goes on.

Feel free to add more details and topics yourself.

Possible agenda items:

  - Printed edition of the Handbook.  There is still a desire for an updated printed version of the handbook.  What do we need to do to make this happen?
  - Rearranging the handbook, possibly moving content elsewhere that shouldn't be in.
  - Getting more src committers to contribute and update documentation
  - Website (Thoughts on updates/layout/redesign?)
  - Translation
    - Out of date translations on the website
    - Notification for when translations need updating
  - Release notes
  - Migration Guide for Downstream Consumers (Switching from CVS to SVN)
  - Official %%PkgNg%% documentation for individual use and site-wide development

Sandwiches are provided at lunch time.

Attendance will also be possible via Skype, if you would like to be involved please contact [[/GavinAtkinson|GavinAtkinson]].  If remote participants have specific items they wish to be involved in, let [[/GavinAtkinson|GavinAtkinson]] know (and include your availability/timezone) and we can arrange schedules accordingly.
