Moving Ignite documentation to github

Artem Budnikov
Hello Igniters,

I'd like to return to the discussion about migrating the Ignite
documentation from readme.io to github. The idea emerged long time ago
[1] but hasn't been implemented. I think now is the time to make it happen.

Here are the technical details of the proposed solution:

  * docs are written in asciidoc format and stored in a github repository
  * jekyll is used to generate HTML pages out of the adoc files
  * HTML pages are published on ignite.apache.org in the documentation
    section

This approach is very flexible and allows us to implement any feature
that we need (as opposed to readme.io, which is very limited).

Also, as part of this plan, it makes sense to unite the documentation
for different platforms (java, .NET, c++).

I'm interested in what you have to say about this. Please share your
thoughts.

-Artem

I'd like this approach, it's easier for contributors to suggest edits.

For now it's unclear how to add new pages to the site. I hope it'll be
a clear process.

Do you mean a separate repository here?
I think we should use the main Ignite repo for documentation.

Re: Moving Ignite documentation to github

Ilya Kasnacheev
Hello!

I'm not really sold on the github version yet, I would like to see a
prototype of such documentation before deciding, so for me it'w
0

Pavel, we don't have enough discipline to make sure that all documentation
is ready at the time of release, and we may need to add notices here and
there after a release is already out. This means, separate git repository,
or at least separate git tag on that repository, is needed.

Re: Moving Ignite documentation to github

Artem Budnikov
Pavel,

Yes, I mean a separate repository. The reason is that documentation is
usually updated after the product version is released. As Ilya pointed
out, keeping the docs in the main Ignite repository would entail
completing the docs before the release date, which is not possible under
current circumstances.

Ilya,

You can look at your company's documentation for a working prototype
turned production-ready approach. The approach has been tested for a
while and proved to be successful, at least with respect to our goals here.

Re: Moving Ignite documentation to github

Pavel Tupitsyn
Ilya, Artem,

"Separate repo just because we can't finish docs before release"
does not make sense to me. My proposal is:

- Working version is in the master branch
- When a release branch is created, e.g. ignite-2.9, we create
ignite-2.9-docs and update it as long as we want.

Pros (compared to a separate repo):
- Docs can be updated along with the code, same review process
- Visibility - everyone knows about main repo, docs are searchable together
with code in the IDE
- Code snippets can reference the actual code and we make sure they compile
- Code snippets can be tested on TC

GridGain uses a separate repo for their docs, and it proved to be less than
optimal.
Especially when adding samples for new APIs which are not yet released.

Re: Moving Ignite documentation to github

Artem Budnikov
Pavel,

As far as I can see, all your pros points work just as well for a
separate repository (except for "everybody knows about it"). I don't
mind keeping the docs in Ignite repo as long as I am able to freely
commit to master. Will I be able to do that?

Pavel,

> separate repo,
Snippets are kept together with the docs, they /don't need/ to be stored
in the main repo, although they can. They are compilable and up to date.
I update the docs and API samples for features that hasn't been released
in the GridGain docs and never thought it was a problem. I understand
that you don't want to do extra work when adding code samples, but it
looks like just an inconvenience. Let me suggest this: Let's think about
a solution that will be comfortable for you, I'm pretty sure this
inconvenience can be solved technically. But I need time to think it
through.

I think you can add the docs repo to your IDE as a project. I used to do
it in the beginning but then switched to Sublime Text, because it's more
convenient to me. We are looking at it from different perspectives. I'm
trying to create a process that is comfortable for tech writers rather
than developers. And everybody has to accept some kind of a compromise:)

Just think about it from my perspective. That creates a HUUUGE overhead
for technical writers who work on the docs, and they are the ones who
provide 90% of updates. I agree about the review process, and I'm going
to think it over. But now it seems that we don't have to impose any
strict process that impedes preparation of the docs.

Re: Moving Ignite documentation to github

In reply to this post by Artem Budnikov
I believe that by keeping the documentation sources in the same repository
with the source code will help us to prepare and release all the release
artifacts at the same time. So, +1 for hosting raw documentation ascii-doc
pages in the main Ignite repo. However, the HTML version needs to reside on
the Ignite website, which is similar to the API docs. We can create tools
to do this in one click.

Post-reviews are not prohibited in Apache, quite the opposite, and they
suit the documentation contribution process better. It's ok if committers
to the documentation merge the changes first and ask for a review later if
needed.

Re: Moving Ignite documentation to github

Artem Budnikov
OK, let's give it a try.

The way I see it, the documentation source files will be located in the
"/docs" folder, including UI templates/styles, asciidoc files, and build
scripts. I'll start experimenting with this and will let you know when
basic setup is ready.

Re: Moving Ignite documentation to github

Sergey Stronchinskiy
+1 for migrating docs to github. It will allow an easier contribution for
docs, I think. As a nice feature - adding an edit link (submit PR for docs)
to the document page on site.

As for keeping them separate - Microsoft keeps docs for it's products in
separate repos, for example.

Re: Moving Ignite documentation to github

Artem Budnikov
Hi everyone,

I've prepared the initial set of source files for the Ignite
documentation. If you are interested, you can take a look at
https://github.com/apache/ignite/tree/IGNITE-7595/docs

You can run a local web-server (jekyll) if you want to view the docs in
your browser. Refer to the README.adoc for instructions. Some people had
troubles installing Jekyll locally, so I added an instruction on how to
use jekyll docker image.

If you have any comments on the overall approach, please let me know.
The styles and content are still a work in progress, so please don't
report issues related to that.

Re: Moving Ignite documentation to github

Ilya Kasnacheev
Hello!

I was able to eventually run it. The trick is to only install bundler with
apt, and not jekyll, once you install any other gems, they collide and it
will fail.

Looks OK. For some reason "Working with SQL" leads nowhere.

Re: Moving Ignite documentation to github

In reply to this post by Artem Budnikov
Worked out well on my end. Thanks for sending the update!

How about the next step of taking the HTML and committing it to the website
repository? Did you have a chance to think through this step?

Re: Moving Ignite documentation to github

Alexey Plekhanov
Guys,

What about documentation for 2.9 release? Are we going to publish it on
readme.io or publish it on ignite.apache.org?
What about new edits? Should we still edit pages on readme.io or already
make changes in git repository?
Artem, could you please clarify the current documentation workflow?
