Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

[puppian]

Welcome!

So happy to meet everyone here
We'll be discussing everything about puppy docs

Some general info:

Please add your docs to http://puppylinux.org/docs/pre
Just click the Login link (see left column) to start editing. Password: pldp
You can use this sandbox page to practice your editing skills.

When the documentation is almost finished the whole site will be moved to http://puppylinux.org/docs and continue to be maintained by the documentation committee.


To create a new page, just edit any existing page and add the name of your new page at the end. Then, highlight that newly added line and click the H1 button (for sub-menu click H2 or H3). Finally click the 'save' button (the floppy icon) and the link to your new page will appear in the left pane. Multiple pages can be created at one time using this method. To delete a page, edit it and delete everything in it, then click 'save'. Must read:
User's Manual
Creating your pages
How to do common task
Writing your first pages



And here's the tree structure.

Btw please use this template to write your page
http://puppylinux.org/docs/pre/?TEMPLATE

Great work, Puppian! As soon as the CMS decision is taken, we can also begin testing the installation.

(Note: "we" is a way of speaking - it means "you with some help from us" )

Well, it looks like now we're contributing to http://puppylinux.org/docs/ instead of using the preview site.

Below is the understanding so far. Hope it helps

Ok, so can someone provide a diffinative answer.

Are we using /docs or /docs/pre?

I personally think it makes sense to use /docs and just work there in the main area. That way it is more incentive to be quick, efficient and accurate. But I will take my ques from you folks who are by far the more senior puppies.

Me, I'm just a baby puppy.

[puppian]

Maybe I should have written it this way

So just continue your initial writings for pldp at http://puppylinux.org/docs/pre, and finished pages will be moved to http://puppylinux.org/docs/

docs/pre is used for initial writings, for example, sometimes I can't finish a whole page, but just half of it, and it's better to leave it at docs/pre, so our new puppy user won't see a halfly finished page (which may also contain incorrect information since proofreading hasn't been done yet)
Also, docs/pre is accessible by everyone and so we can have contributions from different people, which can be then proofread by the docs committee

Thanks Puppian;

That makes it very clear to me, it makes sense too.
