Re: New Contributor Guide

 

Hi,

IMHO, No.1 is rather self explanatory and a bit geared towards developers. I believe there are good docs in Chinese about this on forum.ubuntu.org.cn and/or ubuntukylin.com

No.2: Which attachment are you referring to? Is it specific to UbuntuKylin or applies to Ubuntu packages generally? In my opinion, we should use existing Ubuntu documentation wherever possible and add documentation specific to our project.

By the way, I've put up some content on: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuKylin/NewContributorGuide

Everyone is welcome to take a look, give feedback, and/or contribute sections specific to one's work.


Thanks,

Heling

Hi Heling,
We have managed to be a flavor from scratch. Too much work especially documents work need to do. Just as you said "there are designers, translators, users, testers who might be interested in contributing; The project could go a long way by giving them some necessary documentation. " However, the most important thing about documents work at this moment I think is:
No.1 How to become a contributor of Ubuntu?
- how to register on Launchpad
- what is CoC
- how to create and build a debian package?
- ....
No.2 How to be QA tester of UbuntuKylin?
please reference to the attachment. If you can translate it to Chinese version, it will help us much!

As for docs for designers, translators, we can do one by one :)
To this end, would you like to translate QA relevant docs for us?

BTW, at this moment we only focus on desktop, but we are keeping track of other editions such as mobile phone, server and cloud, too.

Regards,
Jonas

    Thanks.

    What I'm thinking is rather simple: I read from h-online yesterday
    that UbuntuKylin has become an official Ubuntu flavor, and am
    thinking maybe I can contribute as well. :-)

    I'm more of a user/power user and would like to contribute to the
    project, where do I start? That could be one of the typical user
    cases for the New Contributor Guide.

    Jonas' idea is good (I read your post on ubuntukylin.com about
    becoming a developer on launchpad), and that could be the basis of
    a developer section for Contributor Guide.

    But then there are designers, translators, users, testers who
    might be interested in contributing; The project could go a long
    way by giving them some necessary documentation.

    By the way, what exactly is UbuntuKylin? All I know is that it's a
    Ubuntu flavor customized for Chinese users. Is it desktop only, or
    there are other editions (server etc)? Is this information
    available somewhere?


    Cheers,

    Heling
