Hi all,
This is to announce two events in the process of more serious documentation writing:
1) There is now a grass_doc mailing list.
To subscribe send an empty mail to
grass-doc-subscribe@it-zone.org
To send messages to the list, send them to:
grass-doc@it-zone.org
2) I just imported the new grass_doc module into the intevation cvs server. It is still work in (very early stages of) progress, so those who would like to work in it should contact me first.
Just do cvs checkout grass_doc to get it. It is quite big since there are some figures in the grassbook and in the tutorial. However, it should only be necessary to download these once.
I hope that we can now seriously start working on documentation.
The first tasks are:
- cleaning up and filling in the tutorial
- weeding through the grassbook in order to identify the reusable parts, translating them to docbook/xml and integrating them into the tutorial
- reading old documentation in order to select what is still usable and what needs to be archived
If anyone is interested in joining the effort, meet us on the list.
Moritz
Moritz, this all sounds good.
Can you document all this on the grass webpages?
I saw that serek already added information about the mailing list,
but there also should be a page describing the effort.

Just noticed that I cannot post to the list not being a subscriber.
Is it possible to hold post by non-subscribers for moderation?
This would help people like me who sometimes read the archives
and then post something.
You can also put me on the list of people allowed to post.

Ok, I'll try to do that, but this weekend will be very busy, so I probably won't be able to do it before next week.

There is grass-doc-owner@it-zone.org for such feedback.
This is the only method of spam elimination without much effort.
Of course we have to publish information about subscribers-only list.

OK - I'll put.
