Overview

CiviCRM is a constituent relationship management system that integrates with Drupal.
That's the simple version of the story.

Now here's what was overheard at Port Royal last night: 'Dude -- do you not realize the ground you're walking on is littered with corpses?'

Don't let the next lot of corpses include yours.

If you're working (fighting) with CiviCRM now, if you've worked with it in the past, or you know that you'll be needing to use it in the future, come along and we'll share experiences, tips, and code.

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.
