h1. Documentation Team Meeting Minutes 2013-05-16
h2. Attendees
Ernesto Baschny, Martin Bless, Michael Schams, François Suter
h2. Official manuals
* officially unmaintained manuals are now marked accordingly on docs.typo3.org
* up to date manuals:
** TSref
** TSconfig
** TS Syntax
** TCA
** Core APIs
* Coding Guidelines
** Most aspects updated for 6.0
* FAL
** Not much feedback
* Next important targets
** Getting Started and Installation Guide
h2. ReST migration for sysext manuals
* François to test migration of a few manuals next week
* François to meet with Xavier (on Friday, May 17) and Dominique Feyer
* General plan
** migrate the existing manuals to ReST (manuals would stay in the Core) some time in June
** outline and brainstorm ideas for displaying documentation in the TYPO3 BE, for fetching rendered documentation (especially for sites not connected to the Internet)
** the above should happen before T3DD13, so that the workshop propose by François can be about doing actual work
h2. Core documentation workflow
* The worlkflow should be updated to mention that providing an actual patch is optional (because it may be too complicated or people might not be at ease writing documentation)
* But it is still absolutely necessary to open an issue on Forge and indicate the relation with the Core patch
* François to update the wiki page and to inform in the Core list
h2. Gerrit integration
* Martin created a hook for Gerrit:
** when a merge is performed, docs.typo3.org would be notified.
** we then check if the related Git repository is known to docs.typo3.org. If yes, a rendering is triggered.
* Martin in contact with Fabien to place the script on review.typo3.org
* This will enable to trigger rendering automatically upon each merge
* It becomes more important now to have the ability to mark which version is stable:
** e.g. when a user accesses TCA Reference, it must be the stable version and not the latest master in case some new feature's documentation is already merged
h2. Extension manuals
* Next steps:
** detect presence of ReST-based documentation and render it
** provide a script which can inform the TER about the existence of the manual (first needs to be checked with the typo3.org/TER team to see what would best fit their needs)
** improve the rendering of converted OO manuals, but with limited scope:
*** include the header, so that the navigation is not broken
*** include a reference to the CSS, for better looks
h2. Flow application
* Fabien has no time to improve it for now
* Robert (Lemke) was contacted but has not time either
* Maybe Karsten will have time in the next few weeks
