JDOC:Docs Wiki Roadmap

Docs Wiki Roadmap

Short Term

• Identify documentation needs by user type better

• Beginners - need to be more targeted
• Developers - more involvement, better method of involvement
• Web designers - target ease of design, better articles targeted towards CSS, Bootstrap
• Administrators - target common tasks with more detail
• Evaluators - ideas needed?

• Home page
• Navigation
  • Portal pages
  • Better documentation search - Google integration? Lucerne?
  • Improve structure
  • Namespace aliases for easier link building
• Spam control - multipage sign up. AntiSpoof, AbuseFilter together. AbuseFilter will automatically block and remove users based on rules, can be new user time sensitive running against only new users. More investigation needed.
• Clean up redundant and incomplete pages (what was started and never finished, or redundant)

Long Term

• Increase developer contributions

• Welcome new users on user talk pages! Give them some additional information, style guide, templates available, etc.
• Editor assistance
  • Adopt an editor? Help new wiki users
• Wiki Doc Projects

• Developers
• Designers
• Better tutorials, multipage, PDF's created for download

• Developer feedback
• Enhance styleguide

• Help Screen development simplify
  • Focus on first STS, transcluded to subsequent STS versions, with a 'Final' for LTS
