How to Participate in OpenSolaris Documentation
How to Work With a Documentation SponsorSun documentation sponsors work with the community to support the documentation that is needed for features, projects, bug fixes, and enhancements that integrate into OpenSolaris. We have identified experienced writers from the Solaris writer community who have backgrounds in man pages, system administration documentation, and developer documentation. They will monitor the docs-discuss mail list for questions and requests for assistance. To request a sponsor, send a request through the mail list. The documentation sponsors provide the following assistance:
This includes requests to submit new documentation, requests to file bugs against documentation, and requests to enhance the current documentation. Sponsors provide examples and guidelines to follow, templates to use, best practices, and editorial feedback to community members who want to contribute. This includes requests to submit new documentation, requests to file bugs against documentation, and requests to enhance the current documentation. Feature DocumentationFeature documentation for OpenSolaris includes the Solaris 10 documentation collection and the Solaris Express documentation, which are published on the docs.sun.com web site, and the OpenSolaris OS man pages, also published on docs.sun.com and included with the software in the SUNWman OS package. The Information Products department within Sun encourages the community to contribute to the feature documentation. The long term goal is to open source all of the Solaris feature documentation. We have developed a roadmap for open sourcing and creating collaboration processes for the documentation. |
