Re: New PHC, Plone 4 and next steps

Hello plonistas,

I'm here again to provide more info about the PHC and documentation 
migration.

We've published current test cases at
http://www.coactivate.org/projects/plone-documentation/phc-test-cases

If you want to contribute some testing, we can grant you the neccessary 
privileges in the test instance. Just ask me! :D

We're working on new designs for the documentation pages to show both 
the Knowledgebase and the core documentation area in the navigation and 
try to avoid any possible confusion between both.

We'll move most how-tos and tutorials to the knowledgebase using a 
script kindly developed by Steve McMahon. Manuals will stay in the core 
area.

The knowledgebase will be open for editing to anybody belonging to the 
"Documentation Team" group. Membership for this group will work in a 
similar fashion to the current collective: you ask for membership and we 
grant it to you without restrictions, but if a member commits abuse, his 
membership can be revoked. This way we prevent spam and abuse. We will 
publish extensive information about the policies after the split.

It's worth noting that commenting will dissapear nearly everywhere in 
the documentation. From my own experience (and others can confirm this) 
the comments in documentation items usually hang forever. For the core 
area we will use trac, and since the Knowledgebase will be open for the 
Documentation Team to edit it, there will be no need of commenting (just 
add the comment at the end of the howto or tutorial if needed :).

If you have any doubts, please contact me or post to the documentation 
mailing list. Tack så mycket!
