      Can we elaborate on this point?

      Re http://dev.plone.org/plone/ticket/7831 some simple triggers might draw attention to documentation that becomes outdated (or at least deserves review) at product update time.
  • concerned about how easy it is to add an article
  • highlight the "good" bits of documentation
  • reviewed at least each time we make a new Plone release
  • What's the right way to configure caching?
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 01 Apr 10
       
      Advice may be diverse.
  • If someone wants to contribute documentation, by all means let them!
  • allow comments
  • ratings of the type "was this helpful to you"
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 01 Apr 10
       
      I do often rate things (positively more often than negatively). However: I rarely observe other people's ratings.
  • Open the flood-gates
  • group documentation by audience, rather than by type
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 01 Apr 10
       
      I'm never wholly convinced about audience-based documentation.
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 01 Apr 10
       
      Can we group documentation by layer - through the Plone (TTP), Zope management interface (ZMI), file system et cetera?
  • Accept that how-to documentation won't be perfect
  • Add ratings
  • improve commenting
  • this is out of date
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 01 Apr 10
       
      Maybe "This is valid for version n.n of product x" plus "For more recent advice please visit …".
  • We should allow people to make requests for new documentation, and expose the wish list in a way that lets people vote for their favourite requests
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 01 Apr 10
       
      First improvements to a document might be: (1) a link to Trac, so that any documentation-related issue can be tracked; and (2) an in-document summary of relative tickets.
  • We have a Trac

  • integrates very well with the rest of the Python community
  • ...7 more annotations...
  • Zope 3 is now fully converted to an egg-based system
  • The Known Good Set (KGS)
  • a configuration of packages and their versions that are known to work well together
  • verified by running over twelve thousand tests on a daily basis
  • against Python 2.4 and 2.5 on the 32- and 64-bit platforms
  • "nail" the versions
    • Graham Perrin
      Graham Perrin on 06 Oct 09
       
      Is nailing analogous to pinning? In Plone community, I'm more familiar with the word 'pinning'.
  • KGS can be used in several ways

    The diagram is old (2003) but the presentation is thought-provoking.
