WP-United User Manual: Help Needed!

Filed under: Release Announcements — Jhong at 5:46 pm on Saturday, February 13, 2010

Hi everyone. Continuing the topic of “how you can help”, if you are unable to donate, but have a little bit of free time, please feel free to download and update a bit of the WP-United user manual.

It is in need of a little love — the Setup Wizard instructions are still for v0.7.1. It will potentially form the basis of a wiki, but more importantly, should be included with every download as a canonical reference source, so people can read it when setting up.

I don’t expect anyone to take the whole thing on, as it is actually a very big job — oddly enough, writing about all the possible installation scenarios of WP-United and the possibilities available, could take up hundreds of pages. However, if you fancied updating a page or two, it would very much appreciated. Also, any “tips or tricks” or troubleshooting you have from your experience, would be gratefully received.

You can download the manual from SVN, here. It is in ODF, and it would be great if it could stay that way — if you are using software by The Man, you can download an ODF add-in to open and save the format. (For downloads, I will convert it to PDF, and probably many other formats. The key is keeping the source in ODF).

If you do decide to update, post your intentions here so we don’t tread on each others’ “editing toes”. Also, feel free to give yourself and your site credit at the back of the manual.

Thanks!

Maybe if you could add a wiki like docuwiki first it could become easier for people to contribute to a manual, as it would be quicker and easier.
