[sakai-docs] [Building Sakai] Proposal for Sakai 10 help files

[Venstra, Elizabeth]

I would say that yes, that is the general plan, but no, there's no real ETA to share.  We have had some difficulty maintaining momentum, for sure.  Of course, it's more important to me to get Phase 1 rolling first.

Having the option to upgrade to 20 contributors sounds like it could be a good thing, though yes, l wouldn't suggest paying for them all until after they materialize!  I also think it's a bit of a pity they charge the same price for the second 10 as for the first 10; it could discourage additional people from getting involved.  But oh well.

For some context, at the last North America Apereo conference, the people who turned out to talk about documentation agreed to a two-phase plan-a short-term fix to allow people to pitch in to edit the content and write it back to trunk, while also developing a list of functional requirements for some kind of new help tool in the longer term (Phase 2).  Here is a Google doc with discussion around those functional requirements for the new help tool:


Hi Elizabeth,

So what is the plan of documentation group with Phase 2 and the implementation of these requirements?  Is there a plan to raise money, request bids, and contract for development to meet the requirements?  If yes, is there any progress or an ETA to share?

To your question about the limit on the number of contributors: ScreenSteps allows for 20 contributors for twice the price.  If we suffer a deluge of active contributors, by all means, let's go for the higher subscription level.
