Re: [GUSDEV] Documentation Site

[Michael S. <msa...@pc...>]

Hi Ed,

This is great-- thanks.

I'd like to get as much of this as possible into GUS 3.5 as the "official"
documentation.  GUS 3.5 documentation will be in the ubiquitous docbook
format, which is XML based and allows for effort-less transformations into
XML, PDF, HTML, and other formats.  The documentation will be maintained in
CVS as a GUS Component.

Ed-- Would you be willing to convert your Developer's Guide (as a start)
into a docbook chapter (on Plugin Development) for the GUS Developer's
Guide?  If you don't have the time or interest, I'd be happy to do the
conversion, but in that case I'd want to make sure that any future changes
to your document are incorporated into the GUS versions as well.

Also, please keep in mind for the bootstrapping documents-- this process
will be changing in 3.5, which is due in the next few weeks.  Thus, it may
make more sense for us to speak to come to a consensus on what data needs to
be loaded, and the best way to load it as part of the initial install
process before you spend too much documenting processes that may change.

Thanks again for all this work-- I think it really contributes to the
accessibility and understanding of GUS and (provided you're ok with it) is a
great contribution to the project.
