Re: [aerogear-dev] AeroGear Android Root Document

After a lot of drafts: The Root Document ideia: https://gist.github.com/danielpassos/4b4e694c1c71473b4f59 The README example: https://gist.github.com/danielpassos/2fe51449fc5547b3e65f wdyt? -- Daniel Passos On December 13, 2013 at 1:41:00 PM, Corinne Krych (corinnekrych(a)gmail.com) wrote: > > On Dec 13, 2013, at 4:05 PM, Daniel Passos <daniel(a)passos.me&gt; wrote: > > > Well, That is what we have today and what we want to follow > > > > Android Documentations > > > > Root document > > > > A documentation explain how to build lib and app > > > > README > > > > A link for root document and add specific things for conf/run app > > > > Usage Guide > > > > For each feature we have a document explaining how to use it on the site.

As suggested by Hylke, let's group our documentation per category/features: core, push, security, offline/sync.

Each sample/recipe(from cookbook) should be well documented and follow a similar template like you gist shown it. I've done similar with iOS-cookbook. One central readme [1] which list all recipes. Each recipes [2] has is own documentation following the same template. We ca work on unifying the template. I like prerequisites section, install/build section common to both, you miss a short description of the app and some ui flow with pictures would be nice and then a last sec ion we we explain the main fatures we want ot demo. > > > > > > The root document is not to explain how to use our features.

For each feature we have one activity (screen). This makes the explanation very simple and focus on this feature. Each activity (screens) explain one feature and each feature has a usage guide on the ag.org (http://aerogear.org/docs/guides/aerogear-android/)) > > > > > > > > A couple of questions on implementation though: > > - Instead of just having links to cookbook, how can we embed in asciidoc or markdown? the sample documentation should belong to the cookbook repo. > > - How are we going to publish read me info from cookbook into aerogear.org repo? a build or some sort of automation will be good. > > > > > > I think those questions have been answered above. > > > > ++ > > Corinne > > [1] http://aerogear-dev.1069024.n5.nabble.com/aerogear-dev-Website-restructur... > > [1] https://github.com/corinnekrych/aerogear-ios-cookbook/blob/master/README.md > > [2] https://github.com/corinnekrych/aerogear-ios-cookbook/blob/master/Xmas/Xm... > > > > On Dec 9, 2013, at 11:20 PM, Daniel Passos <daniel(a)passos.me&gt; wrote: > > > > > Summers and I tossed around the idea last week to create a 'root document' how to build AeroGear android lib and apps. > > > > > > The idea is write a simple document that looks like ActionBar Sherlock doc instead of having a huge doc with lots of repeated setup, have a setup docs which branch from there > > > > > > Publish it on aerogear.org and link all others (like README) with it > > > > > > My draft for it is here: https://gist.github.com/danielpassos/4b4e694c1c71473b4f59 > > > > > > wdyt? > > > > > > -- Daniel Passos > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > > aerogear-dev mailing list > > > aerogear-dev(a)lists.jboss.org > > > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/aerogear-dev > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > aerogear-dev mailing list > > aerogear-dev(a)lists.jboss.org > > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/aerogear-dev > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > aerogear-dev mailing list > > aerogear-dev(a)lists.jboss.org > > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/aerogear-dev > > > _______________________________________________ > aerogear-dev mailing list > aerogear-dev(a)lists.jboss.org > https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/aerogear-dev _______________________________________________ aerogear-dev mailing list aerogear-dev(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/aerogear-dev
