To do lists
Documentation tasks are now managed in Bugzilla:
- Documentation tasks
- Manual keyword: 21.11 | 22.05 | 22.11
- Needs documenting (new bug status starting from after 22.05)
- Tracking of release changes (see linked spreadsheets with all changes pushed, and identifies doc changes required): 21.11 ~ 22.05 ~ 22.11 ~ 23.05
Easy, medium and hard tasks
- Easy tasks to get started with. Relatively easy things to fix, such as formatting, capitalisation, or typos.
- Academy documentation tasks: in Bugzilla this keyword is used to identify relatively straight forward tasks (and is also a two week event normally held annually in Wellington, NZ to teach high school students about free and open source software)
- Bug 27382 - [DOCS] [Omnibus] Spelling errors in the manual: links to individual tasks are under 'Depends on'
- TO ADD
- Medium tasks to get started with. Things like enhancements where updates to existing content is required, new system preferences, updating screenshots, updating lists and reference information. Some work is required to figure out what needs updating or how it works, but generally it is straight forward to update.
- System preference changes - new preferences or need updating because of changes
- Mana knowledge base section - new feature in 19.05: Bug 17047
- New features for releases - make sure these have been covered for:
- 20.11
- 21.05
- 21.11
- 22.05
- 22.11
- 23.05
- TO ADD LINKS
- Hard tasks include new sections, new features, and reviewing sections. Will need to do some planning to work out what is required - including identifying tasks and reference material to develop. Or it might be a complete rewrite or edit!
