Joomla! Official Documentation Wiki
The concept behind docs.joomla.org is that it will become the central resource for developing single-source modular documentation within the Joomla! project. The idea is that we write stuff once then re-use it in a somewhat analogous way to modern OOP software developement. In the future we expect that other sites, such as help.joomla.org and developer.joomla.org will contain some, or even most, of their content derived from sources here. By building a central database of document "chunks" we gain maximum benefit from the efforts of a limited number of authors and we produce "agile" documents where a single change is rapidly propagated to all the derived documents affected.
Those interested in the techniques will find more information here.
Joomla! Doc Camp
Following on from the success of the Joomla! 1.5 bug squashing days, the Documentation Working Group is pleased to assist with the first world-wide Joomla! documentation event, known as Joomla! Doc Camp.
Google Highly Open Participation Contest
Following on from the success of the Google Summer of Code program, Google is currently running a contest for pre-university students (high school and secondary school students) aimed at encouraging young people to participate in open source projects. Joomla! is proud to have been invited to join with nine other open source organisations for this pilot program which will run until early February 2008.
The Documentation Working Group defined an extensive set of tasks suitable for the Contest and we have been very pleased with the results so far.
Here are the finished products of the contest documentation tasks so far.
If you are a high-school student it's not too late to join in the fun.
