Hi Pranay,
I like the idea, maybe you can use the same way I did it when I updated the
documentation for the Gradle move.
I simply referenced with a link a previous version in history, eg: "Pre Gradle version" notice at
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/Addressing+Custom+Requirements+In+OFBiz

Thanks Taher for this note. Yes it is about document re-organisation and
will help users to locate right set of document whenever needed.
I am getting your point on priorities, but at the same time think that fine
tuned user stories will older branch will help us building good set of QA
artefacts for OFBiz upcoming release as well.
I have also worked with one of my team member(Swapnil M Mane) to come up
with a renewed OFBiz tutorial for beginners. Very soon we'll add it to
OFBiz Confluence. Then we can discuss to upgrade it as needed for making it
more easy to understand and useful.
Best regards,

Hi Pranay,
It is a good idea of course to keep multiple versions of documentation for
multiple releases.
Talking in terms of priority, however, I think perhaps we need to spend
most of our energy into first organizing and cleaning up our documentation.
We need an API section, a user manual, a developer manual, and a set of
tutorials. All of these need to be categorized and point to each other in
hyperlinks. Right now, the documentation is heavily scattered in different
and confusing sections. There is no "one location" for getting a piece of
information. So for example, the business processes could be maybe part of
the "User Manual" right? We don't have such a categorization at the moment
which dilutes value.
Also if you think about it, good organization of this information would
make it easier to create release-specific documentation because you're
building on the same organized skeleton. So in short I agree with your
approach but trying to convince you to perhaps try to focus your energy on
organizing our documentation if you have the time for it.
Thank you as always for your initiative.
Cheers,
Taher Alkhateeb

Hello Everyone,
I am thinking to make a change in document hierarchy for Business Process
and Use Case Library for Ecommerce ERP
<https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/x/1gm8Ag>. I think we can rename it
for branch or release.
E.g. we can prepare first set of documents for branch Release 14.12. So
the
document hierarchy will look like:
- Business Process and Use Case Library for Ecommerce ERP
-- Release 14.12
-- Release 16.12
-- and so on
So the idea is to dedicatedly build documents for specific branch or
releases. This way a set of the documents will be declared to be used
for a
specific release being used. As we start preparing for the new release,
we
can copy from old release and append the additions to it. We can then
also
add test cases(with a mark of success or failure for each for all the
components) along with User Stories and Use Cases which will add more
value
to it.
With its current name and structure it indicates, it's for trunk and
having
it managed on release basis will bring in more attention to it.
Please let me know your thoughts on it. If no objections are seen I would
like to make this change in a day or two.
Best regards,
Pranay Pandey
