Overview

There will be a lot of work on Drupal Documentation in this DrupalCon and we may spend some time discussing a new home for the Docs, as a part of Drupal.org redesign process. I've been working lately on a prototype and I would like to bring up some brainstorming on the website and the docs needs. Some few more details in this blog post.

Agenda

Most issues concerning this website will be discussed at Doc Sprint planning and will be discussed in this BoF only if discussion is still needed.

After a very short presentation of the prototype, we will discuss some issues specific to the Docs.Drupal.Org website, such as:

* Documentation - What should be in Drupal Docs website, what should not be? What model is the prototype assuming?
* Design - how we'll present content in the website
* Programming - how we'll address the needs of the documentation team.

Goals

The goal of this session is decide how we'll make the prototype a real docs.drupal.org website and schedule work for Doc Sprint.

There is already a session about Facebook Application development. The session is scheduled for 11am on the 28th. At that time I'll talk about what a Facebook App is and tools for building them on Drupal.

This BoF will be a chance to work with the modules and ask questions specific to your own site. Perhaps even get your site running on Facebook, if you have not tried to do so already.

I'll be there to answer questions and help troubleshoot. So this is a good chance to get started if you haven't worked with Facebook before. And a good chance to ask questions if your stuck on any particular feature.

If you want to contribute to the Drupal for Facebook project, we can talk about the best ways to do that.

We seem to be addicted to complexity and often fail to find the simple and obvious solutions to problems. This hurts performance, scalability and security and perhaps other things too?
