Building Docs Team

thatā€™s ok for me

Go ahead, please share your draft with us as soon as possible.

I have some examples already there that I do love, the wiki of contribs.org. Some Ideas can be taken

category
for example :smile:
http://wiki.contribs.org/Category:Easy
http://wiki.contribs.org/Category:Medium
http://wiki.contribs.org/Category:Advanced
http://wiki.contribs.org/Category:Developer

the first page should (could) look something like that, a show room of main categories

something really nice with wiki are templates -> http://wiki.contribs.org/Category:Template

We have an usage at contribs, HowTo are not signed, because someone after you can modify what you wroteā€¦it is the rule of games with a wiki.

In fact I do love to make documentation, it is one way to retrieve informations several months afterā€¦Iā€™m one of those who write the developer category.

Maybe and it is just an opinion, the wiki edit account should be subject to authorizationā€¦one good (bad) example is the french ubuntu wikiā€¦it is a mess since everybody can write, specially those who are askingā€¦can someone help me :stuck_out_tongue:

I will reforme my how to with this layout

Given that we have a new kids here, the wiki, we need to re-organize the HowTo Team:

What do you think?

I agree with the rebranding Doc Team.
Iā€™m sign in :smiley:

@alefattorini : However I do feel flattered by the suggestion to join the howto/docs team, I donā€™t feel I am qualified to be part of that team (yet). My knowledge of NethServer is very limited (now that is an understatement). Maybe in time I can join, but for now I think it is much to premature to do that. I think it is a must to have at least some knowledge of the project to join something like a howto/docs team.

Talking about joining teams, Iā€™d rather (again in time) get more involved with general community issues. Although I come from a tech background, my interests are much more with community management.
Especially community tasks should be done by those that have the support of the community. So (in time), IF the community agrees, I see a role there for me.

@alefattorini: I am in as well.

@robb I have as well only little knowledge of Netserver and that is the reason to work on the Wiki. I would like to contribute to that part of the documentation/Howto/Wiki that cover the basics in an easy way with the necessary background information. If you work a long time with server and networks you know all this staff but if you are a nuwbi you questions everything if it right, what does it mean, what I have to setup in this field, etc.
Frankly speaking I have trouble to setp a basic server with the existing documentation (network, firewall, email, UPS). In many parts are too little information and this I would like to change.

Itā€™s right, people who have a little knowledge of NethServer are the best people for that job because they are more likely to write getting started tutorials, starting from the basics.

So, we have these NEW team now :rugby_football:
@Ctek @stephdl @WillZen @Jim @sitz right? Anyone else would like to jump in? @AbsyntH would you like to stick around?
Like in other teams we have to choose a coordinator, who? :smile:

I donā€™t know if this task ( coordinator) is time consumerā€¦ And my wife start complain Iā€™m a lot ā€œon Internetā€ :cold_sweat:

I think that the coodinator could be a old know member, or @stephdl or @sitz, or @AbsyntH.

Wifes complaining that sounds me somethingā€¦

Welcome to the club :smile:

I propose to start without a coordinator, could sound weird but we could obtain more flexibility.
What do you think?

We can always pick a coordinator late.

Itā€™s fine for me, but we need at least a couple of users with the admin role inside the wiki.
@stephdl already is admin.

Itā€™s fair, letā€™s start the ball rolling :soccer: and pick him late

Thank you, :grin:

Maybe we can find a trick for just delegating the user panelā€¦too much admin is not always a good idea.
