Re: New Contributor Guide

 

+1

We definitely could use some PR. Maybe it's time we set up a Public Relations Team (not sure if it's properly named), and maybe a Documentation Team.

Are there some upstream resources (mailing lists, contacts) etc. we can take advantage of?

Cheers,

Hi Heling,

It is very well written, thanks a lot!

IMHO we will also need community people to help on promoting ubuntukylin and organize offline activities, and also documentation people to help writing user manuals or guides or to maintain existing chinese materials, perhaps not necessarily ubuntukylin specific but may benefit the ubuntu project as a whole.

Cheers,
Anthony

    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 <http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn> and/or
    ubuntukylin.com <http://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

        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
        <http://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
