I'm just going to come out of the corner where I'm working on some
documentation and throw a suggestion in the air. I work in an
environment where things are very distributed and where people are free
to do their own thing and do so for very good reasons. I've learnt that
you have to go with the flow.
When I was starting with Plone I found some great documentation out
there and it wasn't all on plone.org (though that was good too). When I
was a teacher I found that my students had a variety of different
learning styles, needed to look at things from many different angles and
that there was no definitive way through a subject. Often too, when
tackling a subject you need to be inventive and to try different
approaches and formats. plone.org might not be the best place to try all
of this out or deliver all of this.
Is there a chance we could embrace the idea of distributed
documentation? My thought is that perhaps by suggesting a set of
metadata to describe a piece of documentation out there on the web (not
just on plone.org), we could encourage authors to drop a snippet of RDF
into their work, which, at some future date, we could harvest (a bit
like DOAP) and possibly annotate further.
Now I'm going to go back into my corner and take cover, while I just get
on with the documentation I've promised and hope to deliver in a couple
of weeks.
