  • 3 different types of documents
    • User-facing docs
    • Developer docs
    • Operator docs
  • Developer doc objectives
    • Lightweight - so not extra barriers to writing
    • Discoverable
  • Doc team can help with providing a common template
  • Overall Index
    • We currently have 3+ different high-level indices in Confluence and Read-the-Docs
  • Decisions to make:
    • Format: RST files or Confluence
    • Location: Co-located within Repo or together with other docs
    • Overall Index; Site location
    • Channels?
  • Ideas:
    • Local docs directories with links to elsewhere or native RST files
    • Sphinx already supports publishing of comments/etc.
    • (Google docs) → Wiki → OEP (in RST)
  • What can we rule out?
    • Google docs 
      • just for internal and as a scratchpad going forward
      • for open edx contributors, request them to create wiki pages
    • Github wiki
      • need to disable this
