[Geoserver-devel] mkdocs updates and before/after

Good evening GeoServer community,

To start out with I would like to thank everyone who has signed up and tested a few pages:

  • Alexandre Gacon

  • Peter Smythe

  • Andrea Aime

  • GeoSpatial Techno

  • Marcus Lingenfelder

With their help we about 1/4 of the way through reviewing the pages:

While I think we are through the big problems I still need to ask for your help:

  1. I would like to ask 10 volunteers
  2. If everyone can review 30 pages each we will be done
  3. Lots of pages can be reviewed in under 1-2 mins:
    • locate a row that “needs review”
    • click on the “origional” link and open in an other tab
    • click on the “migrated” link and open in an other tab
  4. Swap between the pages to check
  5. If they are the same (no content is lost), update the review column to be done
  6. If they are different change “needs review” to describing what is different:
    • many pages will have “block quotes” when none were intended (this is something we need to fix by hand before conversion)

Popular request BEFORE / AFTER

Reviewers asked to “see the markdown” that was generated.

  • Each page has a view source button at the top showing the generated markdown
  • Links to both the original rst and generated md are now available in the review spreadsheet

Sign up sheet

I am going to be focused on the 2.25-RC release candidate this week; but I would like to check back next week with a list of things to fix.

The sign up spreadsheet is here: mkdocs review (open spreadsheet and ask for edit access).

Please reply if you have any questions - I appreciate your help.

Thanks to my employer, and GeoCat Live product, for the opportunity to work on this activity.

Hello Jody,

Do you want reviewers to check again pages with errors after some changes of your own or should we focus on reviewing more pages?

Regards
Alexandre

Thanks for asking,

I would like to ask people to check new pages so I can have a lot of content to work on and detect the same kind of problems occurring multiple times.

If there was a page previously reported with errors I will mark it fixed when I have addressed the problem.

If I marked a page you reviewed a fixed, you are welcome to go back and see how it turned out of course.
As time goes on checking each page will be faster and faster, as I learn how to automate more fixes.
