Hi all, I want to raise some proposal for the documentation process of QGIS. I think that we can all agree that the documentation is our weak part: no matters if we have some budget or not, but even with sponsors, docs are months away to be up to date with the code. We have an endless list of issues that grows and grows.
BTW: this is nobody fault, we are just to few doc writers, that's it Furthermore there are some PR stacked from months [0] (with and without reviews). What I want to propose is a system similar to the coding one: a kind of stale bot that closes PR automatically after a while. Actually I'd like to go a step further: if the PR is made by a person with writing rights than the PR is automatically merged (if the Travis is happy) while if the person has not commit rights, then the PR is closed automatically to prevent really ugly docs (not sure if this is achievable). I think we spent a lot of efforts on "appearance" of the docs rather then contents (again, nobody fault, just me that prefers contents than appearance). Personally I'd prefer to have updated manuals and correct all the rest in a second moment. With the fix me button on each page and with Alexandre's features that allows to see images directly on the repo it is definitely more easy also for not skilled people to correct some mistake than to add new text from scratch. I'm repeating again: this is not an attack on anyone, it is just what came into my mind: AKA my 2 cents ;) Hoping to start a discussion Cheers Matteo [0] https://github.com/qgis/QGIS-Documentation/pulls _______________________________________________ QGIS-Developer mailing list QGIS-Developer@lists.osgeo.org List info: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer Unsubscribe: https://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/qgis-developer
