Each new releases requires an update of the existing Installation Guide. A major rewrite is required for "build from source" installation procedure.
Each new release requires an update of existing Release Notes. New features, Known issues, and Fixed issues sections require major rewrite.
Each new release requires an update of the existing API Reference man pages. These are auto-generated and require only posting to the website.
It is assumed that bugs will be filed against documentation and some will be prioritized for this release. Currently known doc bugs per release can be obtained by querying the bugbase. Triage of existing bugs is needed to determine which are required in this release. The goal is to address as many as possible of the bugs that reflect inaccuracies in the documentation. Enhancement requests can be targeted to a later release.
Publican can output .po files which we can use to translate documentation into any desired language. DECISIONS REQUIRED:
In addition to the deliverables noted,additional activities are required during this time frame.
