Discussion on session proposed by Thomas Kulik

****** PROPOSAL - TO BE DISCUSSED ******

Impact of the current ONAP release- and branching strategy on documentation. Discussion of the problems and possible solutions.

Problem Statement:

The Doc team has the responsibility to create an “umbrella document” that is the entry point for ONAP documentation. This file provides all the links to release specific documentation for functional as well for non-functional components. For the Doc team it is currently not clear, which (sub)components are part of a ONAP release.

Proposals:

• Provide a full list of (sub)components that are part of the release. This enables the Doc team to check the respective documentation of (sub)components. 
• In this list, all release relevant functional and non-functional components must be included (e.g. Architecture, Security, Modelling, VNF Requirements, Use Cases). This ensures that all relevant documentation is considered in the later release.
• All (sub)components that are part of a release must create a release branch (which then can be referenced in the release documentation with a release specific link).
• The release note for the (sub)project must be updated accordingly (e.g. release name, version number, changes, known issues).
• All documentation content must be validated (and changed if required) to ensure that it fits to the release. A note about this validation (or update) must be found in the (sub)project release note.
• The availability of the described information and the execution of described tasks must be ensured by corresponding milestones of the release process.

Required Participants:

• Release Manager (David McBride),
• OOM Team Representative (?TPL),
• Doc TPL (Sofia Wallin)
• Doc Team (Andreas Geissler, Thomas Kulik, Eric Debeau, and more)
• TSC Lead (Catherine LeFevre),
• LF Release Engineering / Tech Support (Jessica Wagantall, Aric Gardner, …)

Duration:

1 hour

Comments from Sofia Wallin

The heading of the session and the "problem statement" doesn't align to me. Maybe calling it something like "Release requirements for documentation". Some of these proposals are already implemented (such as corresponding milestones) but could probably be improved. Someone need to make sure that we reach out to the people that are asked to participate. Also, I would avoid mentioning branching strategy since this is not a problem to solve for the doc project

Local environment to write RST files Eric Debeau

Eric Debeau presented local documentation testing. We will document a basic for version for local RST rendering. Further extensions will be available if needed/wanted (such as spell checker + Linter) but this requires a more extensive set of tools. To be presented in the PTL call for feedback.
