Motivation
Documentation is an essential part of libre
software. Thus a significant number of people are spending a
significant amount of time on writing documentation, translating it,
or developing tools to process it. We find utterly important that all
these people gather to exchange experiences, share issues and
solutions.
Scope
Here is a non-exhaustive list of issues that could be discussed during the meetings:
- Writing
- Translating
- Licensing
- Source file formats
- Publication formats
- Editing tools
- Processing tools
- Management tools
- Cataloging
Activities
The schedule for the talks is nearly final.
Proposed workshops
There is one single scheduled workshop : Documentation hackers and
LDP staff meeting for internal discussing. Ismael Olea wrote:
I'll need your opinion for the next activist steps of LDP-ES and
Hispalinux, and, I hope, LDP.
The following subjects will not lead to formal workshops, but will
probably be discussed informally during the LSM. Room TD09 will most
probably be used for these discussions.
- Acceptance of DocBook by non-technical people
- GUIs for structured documentation
- DocBook: SGML vs. XML
