Liberty Design Summit Wrap-up

Cross-Project Workshop

Observations

  • sorting by user type (ops, admin, etc) is ineffective
  • there is a generally-held assumption that building docs is difficult.

RFEs

  • Need to talk about trying to support multiple releases in one doc. It's a lot of work when you're way behind on docs (e.g., for Keystone).
  • more effective / useful troubleshooting information (neutron troubleshooting in Ops Guide is the best of what's out there currently)
  • socialise info about RST and tox (as oposed to docbook and maven)

Actions

  • discuss the future of the OpsGuide
  • IMplement a post-publish job that copies/links/syndicates Ironic's in-tree ops guide to the admin-cloud-guide? Can we do something similar for every project?
  • Discuss with doc liaisons how to get docs assistance with docs in their repo, without bringing content into docs repo (maintenance overhead stays with dev, not doc)
  • Ensure tox is well-documented (seems to be little understood)
  • Grant core access to docs liaisons

Ops Documentation Workshop

Observations

  • Docs are confusing, don't know where info is
  • Audience type is not clear/well understood

RFEs

  • make the docs more use-case based, rather than audience type (what's the difference between an operator and a user?)
  • Add to Install Guide: Next steps ("where do I go from here? What do I do next?)
  • Top-level guide: a tree of service, config files, possible things you can put in - a reference.
  • Flowchart of steps to install/configure/manage
  • There are (should be) checks/tests at the end of each Install Guide section.

Actions

  • Document use cases (with help from ops)
  • Add a sentence or two description to each doc under the title on the main page (which doc contains what information?)
  • make audience types more defined, better communicated
