With the new website I've added a new section outlining our core projects and telling folks what these projects do. While I intend to keep on writing them docs, I do need help to accomplish a complete website soonish.
Writing the documentation is quite simple: we use markdown syntax [1] which is just plain text with a few markers to generate lists, syntax highlighted code examples and headings. For example, this email message is perfectly fine as a markdown document. So you want to help out? If all you want to do is write the documentation, then add a markdown text document to JIRA issue WICKET-2962 [2]. An example can be found for the Velocity project in our svn repository: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/wicket/common/site/trunk/learn/projects/velocity.md (the rendered page is available here: http://wicket.apache.org/learn/projects/velocity.html The projects that are in need of documentation are all other core projects: spring, auth-roles, guice, ioc, devutils, etc. If you want to preview what you just wrote in the actual site, then you need to do a bit more: * install jekyll [3] * checkout the website repo: svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/wicket/site/trunk * run jekyll in the root directory: jekyll --auto --server * connect your browser to http://localhost:4000 * start hacking away at the docs. Thanks in advance for helping out!
