Workflow for documentation in Open Source projects

Speaker:

Scheduled time: Saturday, 11:00, Room V4

In complex free and/or Open Source projects it is important to maintain documentation. The OpenNMS project is dealing with this issue since over 10 years and people in the community tried different approaches to cover this topic. From version controlled DocBook until Wiki pages the documentation spread over different places. Especially the circumstance working in a free project working with volunteers is challenging and has to be addressed. This talk will give an insight view about ideas how to separate types of documentation, establishing workflows to get them back under control and empower people to contribute.
