[cle-release-team] Fwd: [sakai-docs] Fwd: Sakai 10 online help documentation update

Tue Apr 8 11:57:50 PDT 2014

[Sakai core team and PMC]

FYI, the team is mostly done with the Sakai 10 documentation. The 
documentation will exist in two places, within the Sakai online help 
environment, and on the web. I'm thinking about turning on the web 
version (aka making it publicly accessible). I just worry a little bit 
if it might cause confusion and if it would be better to wait until the 
import into Sakai 10 is complete.

The documentation contains screen captures! Imagine that. Looks a lot 
nicer and likely easier to use. We owe Wilma and the documentation team 
thanks. :-)

More details below.

P.S. No takers yet on a translation. Maybe that will come later.

Cheers,
Neal

> This message is a follow-up update on the status of the Sakai 10 Help. 
> To date, the Documentation Work Group has completed 300 new help 
> articles using the Screensteps collaborative authoring tool. The OSP 
> documentation has also been incorporated into Screensteps, adding 
> another 90 articles to the total documentation set. Many thanks to our 
> dedicated planning team members and the group of ten authors who 
> helped to create the content.
>
> All of the new documentation has been exported to HTML and Sam 
> Ottenhoff is working importing it into the Sakai 10 Online Help Tool. 
> PDF versions of the Instructor, Student, and OSP user guides will also 
> be included in the Online Help for users to download if they wish. The 
> newly imported Online Help will be committed to trunk soon. In the 
> meantime, you can preview the documentation on the Apereo Screensteps 
> site: https://sakai.screenstepslive.com/
>
> Additional documentation development is ongoing, and we welcome your 
> input. We currently plan to add an Administrator guide, as well as 
> help for additional Contrib tools and translations for other 
> languages. We are looking for volunteers to assist with those efforts, 
> so if you would like to get involved, please let us know!
