TextBook

From Textbook

This partition of TextBook is being offered for individuals or groups of people who take on aspiring and innovating activities for the benefit of the Textpattern collective (all things Textpattern). The activities can be just about anything, but generally take shape in the Forum as a good idea, get hashed out for real purpose and value, gain contributors/volunteers, and when it looks like a stable project is underway, gets added here so people can write and collaborate easily while still allowing the community a perch to watch things unfold.

Active Projects

Make sure the label is what you want before saving content in the linked page. The label will become the title of the new page.

• Admin-side Redevelopment
• Multilingual Publishing
• zem_event Tag Reference
• Naming Conventions for Template Authors

Inactive Projects

Defunct due to loss of interest or whatever. Feel free to rekindle the flame.

• Textpattern Community Map Project

Benefits of using wiki for this

• Easy drafting/versioning of any written documents.
• Storage and file keeping.
• Images upload capabilities (charts, graphs, logos, screenshots, maps, etc.)

Attention: Only condition is that every wiki page having to do with a workgroup project must be titled to begin with the workgroup: namespace. This keeps these pages separate from the normal Txp user documentation pages (the primary aim of this wiki).

Proposed process for starting

1. Claim a plugin requested in the Plugin Requests thread, or propose an idea in the Organizing Community Contributions thread to start getting eyes on it.
2. (optional) If the project gains traction, delegate a leader (such as yourself) and record the project in the List of Current Projects and Participants thread.
3. Get a wiki account, if you don't already have one (see help:New Accounts).
4. Come back to this page and add your project title to the list below, which will create a new page to start your project documentation. At the very least, give your project page some overview details, but additional information might include:

• • key contributors
  • objectives
  • supporting information
  • anticipated stages/workflow
  • uploaded screenshots
  • whatever else is appropriate to your projects situation

Of course advertise your project so it gets eyes and interest.
