> From: > Cameron Shorter <[email protected]> (mailto:[email protected]) > > > > Could all projects please ensure that their Project Overviews and Quickstarts > have been updated to reflect the current version and status, and then that > the Quickstarts have been run from start to finish inside a recent release to > ensure it works. > Once finished, update our status sheet. [1] > We'd like docs updated in time for translators by Monday 18 July 2011, in a > bit over a week. All docs and translations need to be complete by 8 August > 2011. > Project Overviews > For Project Overviews: > Ensure that the version is the same in the status sheet [1], installed > application, and in English and translated Project Overviews [2] > If required, updated the feature list or text > Once complete update the status sheet [1] to "5.0draft" if you have updated > text, or "5.0final" if you have only changed the version number. > I'll review all Overviews set to "5.0draft" > > Quickstarts > If required, update the Quickstart text, then set status in spreadsheet to > "5.0draft" > Test that the quickstart works in a recent OSGeo-Live release, and if the > Quickstart works as expected, update the "Tested by" column in the status > sheet [1] to "5.0<yourname>". Report any errors to the application's > developer and/or developer community and/or osgeo-live email list. > Have a independent person (not the quickstart author) also check the > quickstart and add name to the "Tested by" column. > > Note specific changes to location of documents and datasets on OSGeo-Live: > OSGeo-Live docs are now visible on the DVD via > http://localhost/en/index.html. Extra documentation or examples should be > available via http://localhost/<application>/... and > http://live.osgeo.org/<application>/... and referenced via a relative link. > (Docs are installed into, or have a relative link into /var/www/) > You may need to tweak bin/install_<application>.sh [3] scripts to ensure > docs are available in the right place. > Datasets are visible at http://localhost/data/<dataset>/ and available from > the home directory at /home/user/data/<dataset>/. Datasets should be > referenced to /home/user/<dataset>/... ideally with a relative link to the > ../../data/<dataset> or similar. > > I had been hopeful that I'd be able to provide comprehensive review of all > quickstart documents for this release, however I won't have time to get > through them all. If we have any good documentation writers who can spare > time to help review, I'd love to hear from you. > Testers > From now until OSGeo-Live release, we are going to need to do lots of > testing, and updating and tracking status, lots of minor tweaks, and handling > all the small issues which are so important for presenting a quality product. > In particular, we need a few people to run all quickstarts and verify they > work. If you can help with some of these tasks, please let me know, and > probably also speak up on the osgeo-live list. > Video of Quickstarts? > It would be excellent if we could produce a set of videos, which walk through > each of the quickstarts. This would be quite a bit of work, but it would be > hugely valuable. (50 projects, 5 to 10 minutes recording time, maybe an hour > post-processing and loading onto a website per project, depending on the > level of editing applied). Speak up if you think you would be interested. > [1] > https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Al9zh8DjmU_RdGIzd0VLLTBpQVJuNVlHMlBWSDhKLXc&hl=en_GB#gid=8 > > [2] https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/doc/en/overview/ > [3] https://svn.osgeo.org/osgeo/livedvd/gisvm/trunk/bin > -- Cameron Shorter Geospatial Director Tel: +61 (0)2 8570 5050 Mob: +61 > (0)419 142 254 Think Globally, Fix Locally Geospatial Solutions enhanced with > Open Standards and Open Source http://www.lisasoft.com > > >
