Hi everybody,
after the last Xen Document Day, many people asked me when we would
do another document day. After a discussion on the mailing list, we
settled on next Tuesday (November 29). This will be an all-day
on-line IRC event with the aim to
- Improve user documentation
- Improve developer documentation, including the creation of man
pages, etc.
There is no hard start and end to the event, but volunteers in
the UK will be on-line on Nov 29th from around
9:00 UTC+1 until around 18:00 UTC+1, and then volunteers from the
US will take over. The event will be take place on freenode
channel #xendocday
An intial work item lists and what we agreed on can be found on
the Documentation
Day Etherpad. Other work that needs doing is:
- Improve user and wiki documentation
- Improve developer documentation, including the creation of man
pages, etc.
But anyway, a long list of stuff that is needed can be found on
the Documentation
Day Etherpad. I am sure, you will find something that suits
you. Instructions on how to use the new wiki, can be found here and on
the front-page.
The Protocol
- Join us on IRC: freenode channel #xendocday
- Tell people what you intend to work on (to avoid doing
something somebody else is already working on)
- Fix some documentation
- Help others
- And above all: have fun!
I am looking forward to the day and hopefully documentation days
will become a regular Xen event. See you on IRC!
Regards
Lars
