Open Journal Systems sprints, https://docs.pkp.sfu.ca/ : Specific documentation interest group; monthly planning meeting to pick tasks; tied to new releases; biweekly writing sprints with a Zoom co-writing call on Fridays for 1.5 hours; fo for larger participant groups, there is a document leader per document; convert Google docs to markdown to load to GitHub; (wouldn't need to convert to markdown for Confluence); use a spreadsheet to keep track of tasks with columns for participants and status; break document documents into chapters with chapter per participant; later have a person persons to read over whole thingdocument; first writing is in Google Docs. Then , then move them to markdown. ; Google Docs is used for drafts, changes are merged in GitHub. Google Docs is good for collaboration, sharing, comments, etc.
Another possibility is to use Confluence Decisions, https://www.atlassian.com/blog/archives/introducing-confluence-decisions-decide-faster-record-forever, (pre-formatted pages, not a database), less formal than JIRA tickets.
Documentation outline - DRAFT - DSpace 7 documentation task list
...
Could use Confluence for documentation writing, https://wiki.lyrasis.org/x/BAaiCw; it also it has comments; could be less work than also using Google Docs for drafts and then copying to Confluence.
A spreadsheet would be simpler than using the Confluence mgmt. systemanagement system.
DSpace 6 Test Plan, https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13kc3DRxnked5h2JeargJV3T_v54FHz0dOLEHiMfsfzc/edit#gid=1725254376 - DSpace 6 JSPUI Test Plan https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/cmtygp/2016+DSpace+6+Testathon+Testplan+Working+group
The Google Sheets could have one sheet (tab) or multiple sheets
Could optionally create issues associated with tasks.
...
Let's have a review of the Documentation outline.
First sprint 10/26-30
We could have sprint planning meetings where participants can decide on possible co-writing meetings like OJS.
Planning sprint is to plan the overall sprint workflow.
Sprint planning meeting at the start of each sprint.
Could record the sprint planning meeting or Confluence page to guide contributors for picking tasks, etc.
We need to compare our tasks to release notes.
Our documentation is text-based and user-centered.
DSpace 7 docs, https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC7x .
Best source are release notes for DSpace 7.
There isn't a Dspace 7 demo but these is a DSpace 7 preview for the REST-API (4Science), https://dspace7.4science.cloud/server/, and another for the user interface (Atmire), https://dspace7-demo.atmire.com/ .
