Prepare documentation for 0.11

[cboos]

First, we should backup the existing Trac* pages belonging to the TracGuide, into a 0.10/ hierarchy. E.g. TracGuide -> 0.10/TracGuide.

Current state:

• 0.10/TracAdmin
• 0.10/TracGuide
• 0.10/TracIni
• 0.10/TracInstall
• 0.10/TracInterfaceCustomization
• 0.10/TracOnWindows
• 0.10/TracPermissions
• 0.10/TracPlugins
• 0.10/TracUpgrade
• 0.10/WikiMacros

Then, we should update the TracGuide for 0.11.For that, we should start with a page using the 0.11/ prefix. When satisfied with the result and the 0.11 release getting nearer, we should copy their content to their corresponding default page.

Current state:

• 0.11/TracAdmin
• 0.11/TracGuide
• 0.11/TracImport
• 0.11/TracIni
• 0.11/TracInstall
• 0.11/TracInterfaceCustomization
• 0.11/TracMacros
• 0.11/TracOnUbuntu
• 0.11/TracOnUbuntuHardy
• 0.11/TracOnWindows
• 0.11/TracPermissions
• 0.11/TracUpgrade

[[TracGuideToc]]

is not correct in e.g. in wiki:0.10/TracIni

[martin.marcher@…]

Please see

• ticket:5274
• wiki:Trac0.11? wiki:0.11 (TitleIndex for the docs is there)

[ThurnerRupert]

added further documents to wiki:0.11, see also wiki/0.11/TracGuide.

[ThurnerRupert]

wiki:0.11/TracGuide that is ...

#6186 marked as duplicate.

There were a few discussions about this topic on either trac-dev or on trac-users. If I recall correctly:

• the 0.9/*, 0.10/* and 0.11/* pages should contain version specific documentations
• the toplevel pages should contain the main contributed docs, which usually cover the range of currently in use versions

Therefore, before the 0.11 release, we should "branch" the Wiki into the 0.11/ pages, eventually merge it with the documentation already in place and finally "prune" the non-relevant content.

Then, we push all these pages into the trac/wiki/default-pages.

Replying to cboos:

#6186 marked as duplicate. There were a few discussions about this topic on either trac-dev or on trac-users. If I recall correctly: - the 0.9/*, 0.10/* and 0.11/* pages should contain version specific documentations

ok, this would mean, that e.g.

wiki:0.11/TracInterfaceCustomization

should not contain documentation subjecting 0.9 ?

- the toplevel pages should contain the main contributed docs, which usually cover the range of currently in use versions

e.g. wiki:0.11 contains the list of pages specific to 0.11

Therefore, before the 0.11 release, we should "branch" the Wiki into the 0.11/ pages, eventually merge it with the documentation already in place and finally "prune" the non-relevant content.

Then, we push all these pages into the trac/wiki/default-pages.

if I understand right, the pages listed in wiki:0.11 (e.g. wiki:0.11/TracInterfaceCustomization) will go finally into the repository 0.11 (wiki default pages)

all this sounds ok.

but doesn't this mean, that the following part from wiki:0.11/TracInterfaceCustomization should be removed?

 Note: in projects created with a Trac version prior to 0.9 you will need
 to create this folder.

I've found this thread here, but cannot understand.

Possibly one should write the process down in the wiki, thus I know how to proceed to cleanup the 0.11 documentation.

• do I file tickets, and the team changes in the repo?
• or do I edit the onlie 0.11/ docu?

see additionally #6181 for a concrete example.

[cboos]

Critical part of the documentation to update ASAP: wiki:TracDev/ApiChanges/0.11

[cboos]

Changed prefix from Trac0.x/ to 0.x/

[cboos]

Well, at this point here's how I'm going to proceed:

• review and merge the changes from the regular Wiki pages in trunk
• review and merge the few additional changes from the 0.11/ Wiki pages

The 0.11/ Wiki pages were intended for contributors during the 0.11dev period, but somehow that didn't work out so well...

[cboos]

The content of the 0.11/ pages are now integrated in the corresponding toplevel pages, and the previous content of those toplevel pages has been saved in the corresponding 0.10/ page for the pages which have undergone big rewrites.

Of course, there's still a lot of editing that need to be done and this should now be done on those toplevel pages.

[cboos]

As of r6302, the TracGuide content is far from perfect, but that's a start which I think is OK for the beta1.

The TracDev/ReleaseNotes/0.11 is quite OK (if not a bit too detailed), and the TracDev/ApiChanges/0.10 is mostly done as well.

So let's go for the beta1 ;-)

[cboos]

Eli, can you please write a few words there: TracDev/ApiChanges/0.11#ITicketActionController

I think I'll soon do need another round of sync from the Wiki, if anyone feels there's something to add to the wiki documentation, it's the right time.

[cboos]

Documentation is mostly in sync now and I think the changes and the new features from 0.11 are now mostly covered.
