DRAFT for Review

Project Name:

  • Proposed name for the project: Documentation
  • Proposed name for the repository: org.onap.docs

Project description:.

  • Create and maintain documentation targeted to ONAP user audiences and the tasks they perform.   For example:
    • a platform developer pulling, building, running, hacking and pushing source code ;
    • an administrator installing, configuring, and monitoring an ONAP instance;
    • a designer or tester creating, validating, and delivering service models;
    • a VNF developer designing, testing, and certifying a VNF for use on ONAP
    • a Service Provider using VNF Requirements as prototype text for RFPs to acquire VNFs to run in an ONAP context
    • ... others as required for release plans or ONAP committees
  • Establish and maintain a tool chain that supports the integration of documentation source material from all ONAP projects and builds documentation artifacts for each release.
  • Establish a process to recognize source and final documentation dependencies in the release plan, end to end tests, and/or CI/CD to insure these deliverables are created early in a release cycle and remain current with changes made in other projects.
  • Identify technical writers for each release to create and integrate content based on overall release requirements.
  • Benefits include users quickly understand how to do required tasks, documentation is efficiently created and is in sync with the software in a release.

Scope:

  • Describe the functionality to be provided by the project. 
    • Documentation artifacts for ONAP release that contain
      • original content created by the documentation project and
      • integrate source material from any project that the documentation depends to be consistent with an ONAP release.
    • CI/CD Documentation Tool Chain
      • The tool chain to create document artifacts will include gerrit, jenkins, and nexus the same as software projects and add specific tools appropriate for documentation.
      • Where there are published documentation depends on source in a repository, the tool chain will support the integration - e.g. to propagate changes in APIs into the documentation. 
  • Please provide the full intended scope of the project; not just what is intended for the project's first release.
    • First release establishes best practices and pattern for managed documentation as well as the documentation for ONAP release 1.
    • Subsequent releases will be required for all projects to comply with practices, complete content for all audiences, address how documents might be tailored or translated for use in different ONAP instances, etc.
    • Training is not part of this project
  • Identity a list of features and functionality will be developed.
    • Documentation managed with the same pattern as source code including gerrit, jenkins, artifacts published in nexus or readthedocs.org, etc.
    • Output documentation format TBD - likely static html and .pdf versions with hyperlinks between the different documents as appropriate..
    • Depending on the volume of documentation, some indexing/ search capabilities may be provided.
  • Identify what is in or out of scope. During the development phase, it helps reduce discussion.
    • In scope - Best practice tool chain and pattern for creating documentation, Release 1 documentation.

Architecture Alignment:

  • How does this project fit into the rest of the ONAP Architecture?

    • Dependencies with all projects providing source material for documentation.
      • Code changes may drive documentation changes.
      • Some documentation e.g. VNF Requirements may need to be traceable to code modules (e.g. test cases)  
    • Target use cases drive the user audience and task requirements.
  • How does this align with external standards/specifications?
    • Project will identify best practices for a documentation tool chain by looking at other open source projects (eg. open daylight, opnfv)
  • Are there dependencies with other open source projects?
    • Evaluate use of readthedocs.org as way of publishing documents.
    • Evaluate the use of swagger.io for API documentation
