I was wondering: with the Epic grant, which Ton says, in part, will help onboarding new developers: if the development fund gets to be big enough to allow it, what about hiring a full-time technical writer to make really great developer documentation?
I think a possible dream project would be a book like LInux Kernel Development <https://www.amazon.com/Linux-Kernel-Development-Robert-Love/dp/0672329468/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=roblov-20>, giving a readable and comprehensive description of the architecture, data structures, development practices, etc. Of course the downside to that would be that such a book will almost immediately start to be inaccurate. So part of the dream would be to keep it constantly updated. But even if that didn't happen, I think there are large swaths of design and data structures that will likely stay current for a number of years. Failing that, just doing a rewrite of all of the documentation that was in the old wiki would be very useful. _______________________________________________ Bf-committers mailing list [email protected] https://lists.blender.org/mailman/listinfo/bf-committers
