This feature introduces comprehensive documentation tailored for events like the Tech Book Exhibition. The documentation will cover all aspects of the project, including its purpose, installation procedures, usage examples, and technical details, making it accessible and informative for attendees and potential contributors.
Why we need the feature
Participating in events such as the Tech Book Exhibition is a valuable opportunity to showcase our project to a broader audience. Providing detailed and well-structured documentation will:
Enhance Understanding: Help attendees quickly grasp the project's objectives and capabilities.
Increase Engagement: Encourage interested individuals to explore the project further.
Attract Contributors: Provide necessary information for developers who may wish to contribute.
Promote Adoption: Lower the barrier to entry for new users through clear installation and usage guides.
How to implement and why
Choose a Documentation Framework:
Select Tools: Use documentation generators like Sphinx or MkDocs, which support Markdown and can generate outputs in various formats (HTML, PDF).
Reason: These tools provide a professional structure and are widely accepted in the developer community.
Organize the Documentation Structure:
Sections to Include:
Introduction: Overview of the project.
Getting Started: Installation and setup instructions.
Usage Guide: Detailed examples and tutorials.
API Reference: Technical details of modules and functions.
FAQ: Address common questions.
Contribution Guidelines: How others can contribute to the project.
Reason: A clear structure improves readability and helps users find information quickly.
Populate Content:
Write Clear Descriptions: Ensure all explanations are concise and understandable.
Include Code Examples: Provide sample code snippets where applicable.
Reason: Practical examples enhance understanding and provide real-world context.
Place Documentation in the Repository:
Use the doc/ Directory: Consolidate all documentation files within the existing doc/ directory.
Reason: Keeping documentation within the repository ensures it stays in sync with the codebase.
Set Up Automated Builds:
Continuous Integration: Configure pipelines to automatically build and update the documentation when changes are made.
Reason: Automation reduces manual effort and keeps documentation up-to-date.
Generate Distribution Formats:
Create PDFs and HTML Files: Prepare the documentation in formats suitable for distribution at the exhibition.
Reason: Different formats cater to varying preferences of the audience.
Review and Edit:
Peer Review: Have team members review the documentation for accuracy and clarity.
Reason: Collaborative review helps catch errors and improve quality.
About backward compatibility
This feature maintains full backward compatibility:
No Code Changes: The implementation focuses solely on adding documentation without altering existing code.
Non-Intrusive: All additions are supplementary and do not impact current functionalities.
Safe Integration: Existing users and contributors can continue using the project without any interference.
By ensuring backward compatibility, we avoid introducing any disruptions to the current user experience while enhancing the project's value through improved documentation.
