Hi,

>From Sean's e-mail, the command is in "technology preview" state. What is
our policy for when such features are added to the official documentation?
(And, yes, I would be happy to file a JIRA.)

Subject: Maintaining Documentation, was Re: Cleanup Trafodion 1.3 Sandbox

Hi Dave,

Good question - will you file a Jira on the missing Cleanup documentation or
should I?

This raises a related larger question I've been thinking about for a while
now - maintaining our documentation.  Gunnar has done an amazing job at
prepping what we already have so that we are incredibly well documented.
I've used plenty of open source code over the years that isn't nearly as
well documented as Trafodion.  This is a real advantage for our users.

So I think we need to consider how we'll keep our documentation and website
up to date, and track our documentation changes along with related features
and fixes.  The person who's most expert on the documentation changes
required is the person who generated the changes behind the pull request.

Given that, should we default to something like, "a pull request for a Jira
should include not only the software but also related documentation and
website changes"?  If the pull request doesn't include the documentation for
some reason, could we either leave the Jira open or create a new one
tracking the missing documentation?

I think it's up to us to decide what guidelines we want to have, but we
should be clear about them and our committers should be clear on what the
expectations from contributors.

Our documentation right now is a big advantage for our users, and we need to
keep it that way. I know that I've walked away from open source code whose
documentation was too hard to use, and we don't want Trafodion to have that
barrier to entry....

Thoughts?
