+ About the Documentation Interest Group (DIG) + The Evergreen DIG was established in May 2009 at the first Evergreen International Conference, where members of the Evergreen community committed to developing single-source, + standards-based documentation for Evergreen.

+ Special thanks goes to: + + Jeremy Buhler and SITKA for providing DocBook style sheets, style guides and large portions of content for this documentation. + Dan Scott from Laurentian University for providing large portions of content and many helpful tips. + Mike Rylander, Grace Dunbar, Galen Charleton, Jason Etheridge, Bill Erickson, Joe Atzberger, Scott McKellar and all the other folks at Equinox Software for + contributing large portions of content on the wiki. + + There have been many other who have contributed there time to the Book of Evergreen project. Without their contributions to this community driven project, this documentation + would not be possible. +
+
+ How to Participate + Contributing to documentation is an excellent way to support Evergreen, even if you are new to documentation. In fact, beginners often have a distinct advantage over the + experts, more easily spotting the places where documentation is lacking or where it is unclear. + We welcome your contribution with planning, writing, editing, testing, translating to DocBook, and other tasks. Whatever your background or experience we are keen to + have your help! + What you can do: + + Join the Evergreen documentation listserv: list.georgialibraries.org/mailman/listinfo/open-ils-documentation . This is the primary way we communicate with each other. + Please send an email introducing yourself to the list. + Add yourself to the participant list + if you have an Evergreen DokuWiki account, or send a request to docs@evergreen-ils.org. + Check out the documentation outline to see which areas need work, + and let the DIG list know in which areas you would like to work. + Review the documentation and report any error or make suggestion using Launchpad. + + + Volunteer Roles + We are now looking for people to help produce the documentation. If you interested in participating, email the DIG facilitators at docs@evergreen-ils.org + or post on the documentation mailing list. We're looking for volunteers to work on the following: + + Writing – Produce the documentation (from scratch, and/or revised from existing materials). We're open to receiving content in any formats, such as + Word or Open Office, but of course, would be most delighted with DocBook xml format. + Testing – Compare the documents with the functions they describe and ensuring that the procedures accomplish the desired results. Even if you are not + officially in the DIG, we would appreciate any suggestions you may have for Evergreen documentation. + XML conversion – Convert existing documentation to DocBook format. + Editorial review – Ensuring the documentation is clear and follows Evergreen DIG style + guide conventions. + Style and Design – Edit the DocBook style sheets or post style tips and suggestions on the DIG list. + + +
