Re: Documentation

 

Thanks Jason
i would like to be part of this movement.
we have also created some pieces of documentations.
for example how to install DHIS2 in Ubuntu, and some health programme specific training manuals.
lets see how we can incoorperate this into the larger document.

Hi Lungo,
I have been helping out with the documentation effort. I am not sure
how much of the conversation you have followed, so I will briefly
start from the top. We had a discussion a few months back about trying
to consolidate all of the different documentation efforts into a
single repository, so that we can all collaborate together on it. We
decided to try and move all of the documentation to the DocBook
format, which is a pure XML format that is presentation neutral and
makes it easier for us to produce modular documents in a distributed
manner.

You can take a look at the documentation guide, to get you started. It
is available here..

http://dhis.uio.no/ci/job/Dhis2%20documentation/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/target/site/en/pdf/dhis2_documentation_guide.pdf

It may look rather daunting at first, but once you get started, it is
pretty easy, especially if you are using one of the WYSIWYG editors
like Serna Free.

I will be happy to try and help get you started.

Best regards,
Jason

Hi Lars,
Agreed for now.

I have some extra time on my hands right now, so I can try and work on
this a bit more if you get some more material.

Thanks a lot for this contribution Jason. The docs is really starting to
look better.

I will talk to Calle and see if he has some inputs. HISP SA has apparently
produced a lot of material which could be borrowed from.

Re the inclusion in trunk I have changed my mind anyway, the size of the doc
branch is increasing quickly with all the images and would add too much size
for people only wanting the code.
