July 10 D7 docs IRC meeting summary and log
---------------
Sorry for the delay in getting this up. Here is the IRC log for the
IRC meeting from July 10 where we discussed docs for Drupal 7: http://pastebin.com/f244a7fc2
We need to identify what we consider "critical" for D7 docs. That
is, what is the minimum that is required when Drupal 7 official
release goes live. We also need to set up some sort of timeline and
then organize to get the work the done timely. There is a draft
outline getting built out at http://drupal.org/node/515870, in the
Docs Community Initiatives section. We need to keep fleshing this
out. We will have bi-weekly IRC meetings on D7 docs to keep this on
radar and make sure we keep moving forward incrementally.
There are concerns about starting now and timing things out since so
much of the D7 interface is likely to change between now and code
freeze. There are certain areas, like upgrading, that should be
fairly stable to write against for now and the rest of our crucial
stuff should have a solid outline and skeleton writing done before
code freeze, Sept. 1, so that we can dive into the work during the
two sprints that will happen around Drupalcon Paris (both onsite and
online). There are also concerns about how this will fit in with the
new IA that is currently being worked on. Unfortunately we don't
have the time to wait for the new IA before we mobilize on D7 docs,
so we need to move ahead and, yeah, we may need to rip out and redo
sections once the new IA is in place. So be it.
