Objective: Develop comprehensive Reference Documentation for Polykey that serves as a definitive source of information on all aspects of Polykey’s functionality. This documentation should be meticulously detailed, accurate, and constantly updated to reflect the latest state of the software.
Specific Goals:
Accuracy and Detail: Ensure that all technical details are precisely documented, providing users with reliable and thorough descriptions of functionalities.
Ease of Use: Organize the documentation to be easily navigable, allowing users to quickly find the information they need.
Support for Advanced Users: Provide in-depth content that meets the needs of advanced users performing complex configurations or troubleshooting.
Current Documentation Evaluation
Content Review: Perform a detailed review of all existing Reference Documentation to identify areas that are outdated, incomplete, or unclear.
User Consultation: Solicit feedback from power users and developers on the utility of the current documentation and areas for enhancement.
Compliance Check: Ensure that the documentation complies with technical standards and best practices for software documentation.
Potential Topics for Reference Documentation
List potential areas of focus for the Reference Documentation, based on current software capabilities and user needs. Evaluate these topics regularly to ensure they remain relevant.
Topics Under Consideration:
[ ] Command-Line Interface (CLI) Commands: Detailed documentation of all CLI commands, options, and their expected behaviors.
[ ] API Endpoints: Comprehensive details on all API endpoints, including parameters, request and response formats, and error codes.
[ ] Configuration Options: In-depth explanation of all configuration settings available in Polykey, including default values, range of acceptable values, and effects on system behavior.
[ ] Security Protocols: Detailed description of the security protocols employed by Polykey, including authentication mechanisms and encryption standards.
Confirmed Topics:
[ ] System Architecture: Provide a detailed overview of Polykey’s architecture, including data flows and component interactions.
Specifications for Implementation
Once topics are confirmed:
Technical Specifications: Each section of the Reference Documentation will include technical specifications, code snippets, and examples where applicable.
Visual Aids: Incorporate diagrams and tables to illustrate complex interactions or configurations.
Regular Updates: Set a schedule for regular reviews and updates of the documentation to ensure it keeps pace with software updates.
Linking and Tracking
Sub-Issues for Each Section: Create detailed sub-issues for the development of each section of the Reference Documentation. These will specify the tasks involved, resources required, and deadlines.
Documentation Dashboard: Use a dashboard to track the progress of the documentation, manage updates, and coordinate efforts across different sections.
Feedback and Quality Control
Expert Review: Have subject matter experts review the documentation for technical accuracy and completeness.
User Feedback: Implement a mechanism for users to report errors or suggest improvements directly on the documentation pages.
