Devuan Documentation Roadmap 🔼

Devuan Wiki 🔼

  • (msi) Have a general notice about the license used in the Wiki's footer as well as the footers of individual documents (Manual, howto etc.) when they are released.
  • For the wiki, also have a note to editors when editing a page (like on the FOD wiki)
    • There it says: "Note: By editing this page you agree to license your content under the following license: GNU Free Documentation License 1.3"

Wiki platform 🔼

  • Migrate all content from DokuWiki on friendsofdevuan.org to MediaWiki on Devuan's own infrastructure (proposed location: wiki.devuan.org)
  • Set up MediaWiki
  • coordinate with Devuan infra maintainers (jaromil, dan, rrq)
  • maybe put it on the same server as the d1g forum
  • Find a reasonable migration path. (blinkdog)
  • Need to migrate Wiki content (including discuss pages and media files); possibly preserving structure (and authoring history)
    • (chillfan) We could ask the authors to repost if we can contact them, and see if they want to add any improvements.
    • (msi) The problem is that some documents might not have a single author but be composed of contributions by several people.
  • Sort out the current wiki before migrating
  • Questionable content can be moved to a User: page subspace
  • (msi) Get the wiki ready for translations.
  • (blinkdog) If we run MediaWiki, we can use the Translate extension. Let the non-English contributions live alongside the English contributions within the same wiki. 
  * (chillfan) Will repost any content that came from my wiki rather than versions on fod. Update some parts of FOD, repost newer versions of pages from my wiki, improve what is there already. Work mostly on docs useful for the new platform.

Forking Debian documentation 🔼

  • Investigate which parts of Debian's documentation are suitable for being forked for Devuan (e.g. parts of the Debian install manual).
  • Find out how this should be done.

Todo 🔼

  • sort out the descriptiosn of kinds of docs on the discussion page
  • write intro texts to different sections of docs and intro for the whole thing (to be on a landing page later)
