Is it time for a new PyPRP release?

Not sure how yet, but I'm willing to play a role in organising the creation of documentation.

And I could cast a professional copyeditorial eye over it if that is helpful.

Alright, let's get this started.

I hereby declare myself release manager and will start to try to organize things roughly according to my plan posted some pages back (taking into account what has been discussed here since then too).

Questions and suggestions are welcome here in this thread, by PM, and I'll also try hang out on IRC (#PyPRP on irc.guildofwriters.com) as my time permits (mostly European evenings). It is to be expected however that real life will occasionally take hold of me for a few days.

I am mainly concerning myself with the discussed code release (with documentation of what's new) and have no ambitions to also organize the proposed project of producing comprehensive, unified technical documentation. As suggested, these two projects can run concurrently and neither needs to wait for completion of the other.

Being much more of a lone coder than a manager myself, I see this as kind of an experiment. Let's see how it turns out. Let the cat-herding begin!

[Marcello]

I am willing to take up the coordination of the documentation part. Christian, this means we will have to work together to get an overview of new modules, changes, etc. An IRC session to figure out how to do this properly might be a startingpoint.

Unless someone else wants to do this

Marcello, IMO, depending on what goes into the release, its probably a better idea if one of the devs played a central role in the documentation process, as they would know more about the new stuff, old stuff, and what changed and how it all works both in blender and in plasma.

[Marcello]

I agree, but I got the impression that they are not to eager to do so. No problem if someone else wants to take the job

[Trylon]

I'd be willing to help out Marcello when necessary

[Marcello]

Thnx Trylon I think we'll manage together

Great. Yes, we can do that. At the moment I don't have that overview either, but getting it is part of my plan.

[Marcello]

Christian... we'll get that overview done. Maybe we can reserve a part of the wiki to set up a matrix showing changes in PyPRP, changes to how things work, the developer/owner of the change, etc. Including our own progress. Possibly on a per class basis or something. Maybe we can arrange a chat to figure out how to do this.
