Matt,
Personally, I want to thank you so very much for creating AxKit. It has
been a godsend for my company and a real pleasure to work with! I am
willing to take over and coordinate the entire documentation project for
AxKit. I think that AxKit has a real future and see so many cool things
that can be done with it down the road.
If you really mean that then it would be wonderful. It *is* a lot of work though, so be fair warned.
I'd like to take the whole thing and write decent documentation along with
examples! You might have to put up wth me pestering you a little bit more
about exactly how things work, but we'd get back a nice set of documentation
and who knows, maybe a book someday! I'm sure you'll get other volunteers,
but you can count me in whether I'm the only one or a footsoldier in a
volunteer army! I look at it as an opportunity to learn from the best and
to give back to a community that has given me so much!
Let me know how I can help! ... What needs documentation first? What tools
should we provide documentation in? Hopefully something cool that can be
served up by AxKit! Maybe the OpenOffice extension you recently announced
to the group!
The aim from here on out is to make full use of the wiki to do all our documentation. So maybe you could become our wiki docs manager. The big job right now is to get all the documentation that is currently just on the web site in various places all into the wiki. That should be a fairly easy task.
When thats done, it's a cleanup job of creating index pages and tidying up in general. Also I can make any changes to the sidebar that you want me to make.
Want the task? Good! Go ahead and start hacking. The wiki is fully editable by anyone, so just go ahead and make the changes, and shout if you get stuck. Once all the pages are in place I can edit the menu bars to re-point things. The best place to ask for advice outside of the noise of axkit-users is probably [EMAIL PROTECTED] (send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] to subscribe). Also if you do make a good job of this you'll get voted to be an axkit project member, which will give you commit rights to the tree.
Matt.
