System Administrator Guide completed
Submitted by seanmadsen on November 14, 2017 - 20:17Two months ago, I launched a Make It Happen campaign to build a System Administrator Guide with the goal of migrating the installation, setup, and upgrade documentation out of the wiki and into a beautiful guide on our new documentation platform. Amazingly, the MIH campaign reached its $2,000 USD minimum in only 4 days — which meant I could get to work right away!
System Administrator Guide coming soon... if MIH campaign succeeds
Submitted by seanmadsen on September 13, 2017 - 10:35This Make It Happen campaign will migrate the installation, setup, and upgrade documentation out of the wiki and into a beautiful guide on our new documentation platform.
One more reason to go to St. Louis – the City Museum
Submitted by seanmadsen on March 20, 2017 - 16:48I'm sure many CiviCRMers are checking their schedules and and making travel arrangements for CiviCon St. Louis in May. While this post is a bit off-topic, I want to highlight a place in St. Louis like no other place on Earth... the City Museum. It's already on the list of things to do while at CiviCon, but in my opinion it should also be on a list of things to do while you're alive!
Developer Documentation: Goodbye Wiki. Hello MkDocs!
Submitted by seanmadsen on January 12, 2017 - 17:16TL;DR: A migration project is underway to bring wiki content into the Developer Guide.
The wiki is kind of like that drawer in your kitchen where you put things that seem useful but don't really have "a place". And it works okay, especially when its your kitchen, because you have a decent idea of what you've chucked in there over the years.
