#2 Define initial structure of the docs
Closed 5 years ago by psss. Opened 5 years ago by bookwar.

Let's come up with initial structure of the documentation, based on data we have available See #1

Something along the lines:

Architecture/
- Pipeline
- Metadata
- Standart Test Interface
How-To/
- Testing Quick Start
- Pull Requests
Detailed Guides/
- Standard Test Roles
- CI Messages

'Architecture' - should it be a specific page or just a folder?

I propose to align the structure with what we currently have on the main CI portal:

  • Guides
  • Process
  • Tools
  • Tests

I've drafted the initial version in fcd7fd3.

I'm unsure about the categories. If I have a problem or want to get started, where do I look?

Into Guides?

* Guides
** xref:quick-start-guide.adoc[Quick Start Guide]
** xref:pull-requests.adoc[Pull Requests]
** xref:faq.adoc[FAQ]

This seems to be quite natural place, I'd say.

I'd say FAQ should be on the top level to be discovered

then we need to have How-Tos rather than Guides, things which explain how to run a task.

Guides are interesting from the point of you of getting a full picture and a full lifecycle. But we need a place where we can collect tips and manuals with smaller scope

Then Tools and specification pages like (STI) are part of the CI Developer documentation, it shouldn't be on a top level.

Agreed with the FAQ on the top level. Regarding the level of detail I propose to use just two sections: Section aimed for newcomers with quick-start-like content and section with detaild information about the CI architecture. See pull request #23 for the whole idea.

After today's discussion the pull request has been merged.
