Kstars handbook outdated

[Hy Murveit]

Jens,

I had the same idea a while back, and even made one edit in some KDE wiki,
but, as I vaguely recall, it turned out that the wiki wasn't set up for the
general public to contribute to. E.g. you needed an account to make
additions, and so on. I guess to prevent it from being spammed?

If you want to check it out, and figure out how to make it work, that would
be great! Here is what I started:
https://invent.kde.org/education/kstars/-/wikis/KStars-Wiki

Yuri has said that he would help folks who wanted to contribute but had
issues with the docbook format or the source control, e.g. he said the if
folks sent him the text and images and he'd deal with the docbook code and
source control.

Honestly, what we really need is for someone to take on management of the
project, if it is to be designed by us.  A wiki-style handbook would be
great too, I think. Do you know how to set that up?

Hy

Jasem, Hy,

I take it that the kstars/doc folder in git contains the handbook, right?
In my experience, having to use a version control system is a major
hurdle for people to contribute - even for developers.

Is there a wiki rendition or something similar that we could use instead?
Do you have any experience with Google Docs or some such? And how it
responds to a crowd editing the documentation?
Could the KDE Community Wiki be leveraged? See https://community.kde.org/

What do you think?

All the Best, Jens
