Whiteboard
Trello board reviewing migration of old wiki-based packaging guide: https:/
I've gone through just about everything listed on the trello board. With the exception of a few things which have bugs already filed, most of the remaining un-merged docs I feel could be just dropped. There are 29 cards in the "unchecked" column of the trello board. "Un-merged" might be a better title. I've actually looked at them, and I don't think there is anything that would be missed. Do we really need to discuse desktop files and POD based manpages? It's usefull info, but a large part of this exercise has been to streamline the guide. I think that there needs to be an opionated decicision to just finally kill the wiki-based packaging guide. Proposal below-- andrewsomething
Proposal:
1) Send a last-call anouncement to ubuntu-devel requesting bug reports about any missing material. Announce steps 2 and 3 will take place after a length of time decided in this session (two-weeks, one month?).
2) Move the entire PackagingGuide wiki namespace enmass to something like PackagingGuideD
3) Redirect wiki.ubuntu.
4) After a length of time decided in this session (6 months, one year?) delete PackagingGuideD
