Re: New Contributor Guide

 

Sorry I didn't make myself clear. By upstream I'm referring to Ubuntu/launchpad resources specifically for Ubuntu derivatives?

    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?


Not quite sure what you mean here, what specifically you mean upstream? If you mean Ubuntu, then surely there are lots of resources, they have community and documentation teams that we can certainly ask for advice or assistance.

    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
