GNOME Documentation
The GNOME Documentation Project is a group of smaller projects
created to write free documentation for users and developers.
(Note that the main GDP web page is here. The
documentation efforts are divided into the following areas:
- Developer Documentation
-
The Development Documentation Project is an ongoing project to
provide developers with a full set of free documentation to use when
creating GNOME applications. The Development Documentation project
includes API reference documentation, tutorials, programming guides,
standards guides, and more.
- User Documentation
-
The User Documentation project is a project to create easy to read,
functional user documentation for GNOME and GNOME applications. The
main thrust of the project is the GNOME Users Guide with other docs
focusing on the GNOME applications that are not part of the "core".
This section will give updates on the project and detail how to get
involved.
- Documentation Tools
-
The GNOME project decided to use XML with the DocBook DTD to create
all documentation. This provides us with a strong single-source
back end to create multiple forms of output.
- Help System
-
GNOME uses the Yelp help
browser.
-
To discuss GNOME documentation issues of all sorts, join the
gnome-doc-list mailing list on the GNOME and GTK Mailing Lists page.
