Hello everyone,
as I wrote some of you earlier today, I will be starting to gather requirements
for the Zope Documentation Project.
The goal of the requirements gathering is to define all features, issues and
questions that will play a role in creating a FAQ and Reference Manual tool for
Zope.
Okay, here you go:
I attached two files (1 x HTML, 1 x CSS) that are templates for the
requirements document. In the HTML file you will find a marked section that has
all the HTML written for one requirement. You just copy and paste this section
as much as you need to capture all of your requirements.
Once you have completed your requirements just send the file back to me. Please
be careful not to send it to everybody, so we do not fill up mail boxes. :)
I will update the file every day and post the most current results at:
http://www.wolfgangrichter.com/ZDP/requirements.html
So far I have put most of my own requirements out there. They are still very
rough and will be edited over the next few days. They can give you an idea what
to put into the document. Please remember, this is a requirements document NOT
a solution document. I will remove everything that goes into finding solutions
(probably some of my stuff too).
I will collect requirements for a few days and then freeze the input and
only accept editorial input.
AND NOW, LET'S SEE HOW POWERFUL THE COMMUNITY IS. PLEASE SUBMIT
AS MANY REQUIREMENTS AS YOU CAN COME UP WITH. I WOULD LOVE TO
SEE MY MAILBOX FULL OF RESPONSES TOMORROW MORNING. :)
P.S.: Some of you may wonder why I am not providing a form. KISS. It would not
make sense to fill my mailbox by single requirements or write a tool that
generates the code. ;)
regards and thank you all,
stephan
