AltME: Red Docs

Messages

Gregg: 11:51Yes. They cover a lot of important things in their design. Full doc archive as well.
Pekr: 11:53I would not archive Doc yet, he still needs to finish Red :-)
Gregg: 11:55I think of it more like cloning and updating. Keep the old Doc around. Just another branch. :-)
DocKimbel: 12:00Is their docs generating tool available somewhere?
Kaj: 15:36TOC syncing is broken for me
DocKimbel: 15:41Do you have JS disabled?
Kaj: 15:44No, then it wouldn't work at all
Gregg: 17:27I don't know Doc. I'll find out when I can. Being the commercial branch of CouchDB, they may not make everything available.

17:27What browser Kaj?
DocKimbel: 17:43Gregg, no problem, anyway, this is something we can generate ourselves and copy the good-looking parts from it.
Gregg: 17:55Agreed.
Kaj: 20:53Firefox 29
Gregg: 22:29First time here, FF28, didn't sync. Then I opened the TOC one level and it started working.
Gregg: 22:55I think the clojure ref model and the couchbase manual model are fairly compatible as well.

Gregg: 15:41 http://nim-lang.org/manual.html
DocKimbel: 15:50So, in a nutshell:
- github for hosting the docs (in a red/documentation repo)
- markdown for the initial format (with eventually some additions)
- Nim's documentation layout and style
DocKimbel: 15:57For the content itself, we need:
1) a user manual (with the same level as the Rebol/Core Manual)
2) a dictionary of the words
3) some tutorials

15:58(1) is the biggest and most important part.
