CubicWeb documentation mini-sprint report

We held a one day sprint last week in our Paris office, trying to improve CubicWeb's documentation.

There is a huge work to do on this, much more than we can do on a one day sprint, even with many people. But you have to begin with something :)

So, after a quick meeting to define priorities:

  • Stéphanie, Charles and later Sandrine (from her US home-office), began to add some documentation and screenshots to cubes. They started with the following cubes: addressbook, person, basket, tag, folder, forgotpwd, forge, tracker, vcsfile, keyword, blog and comment.
  • Julien explored sphinx abilities to build the index and extract docstrings. He applied this to improve the documentation of selectors.
  • Adrien (ach) and Celso, our friend from Mexico, tackled the task to improve the tutorial from a beginner's point of view.
  • Arthur added some pieces of documentation found in our intranet, mailing-list...
  • Pyves worked on a cubicweb-ctl command to generate schema images (png) for cubes, to include them in the cube's documentation.
  • Adrien (adim) and I helped the various teams.

Huum, I think I did not forgot anyone...

If there is still a lot to do (we need more doc sprints, stay tuned), this is really a nice start! This site should soon be updated to include more valuable cubes description and online documentation extracted from the contributed doc.
