2021-08-05 Doc project meeting

AGENDA FOR TODAY

ArchNav Internship / SVG ArchMap

• ONAP Web Based Architecture Navigation Solution

• Architecture Navigator page @doc project: Architecture Navigator (ArchNav)

• contribution of @Nicholas Karimi currently scheduled until the end of July 2021

• Ultimate goal is to have a good structure to get information easily findable.

• ArchNav is used also in the process of architecure reviews and holds additional information about ONAP uses cases

• POC/Proposal for a architecture map natively designed in Inkscape has started. The SVG format has capabilities to add links, additional text and mouse-over effects to elements. Presentation in the ARC subcommittee meeting as well in the TSC are planned.

• The idea is that this SVG-map is handed over to architecture team to be maintained in the future. Also it is planned to use it in RTD for a user-friendly entry-point for navigation.

TASKS:

• First: Identify Maintenance Model (who is able to maintain it in production / for all the upcoming releases of ONAP)

• Identify the use cases currently applied to ArchNav and use cases for the Doc team's needs

• Look at the potential use of LF Landscape 

• Look at the potential use of Inkscape for a clickable graphic (@Eric Debeau has done a PoC of the functionality)

RESULT:

• Nicholas: To help to maintain the SVG map in the next step

• ArchNav results to be announced in the TSC

• ArchNav to be turned into an OS project; discussion with @Chaker Al-Hakim ongoing.

Architecture Documentation in RTD

There is the need to move finalized ONAP architecture documentation from DevWiki to RTD. Especially the following section are from interest (examples from the Istanbul release):

• Architecture Map

• Component Descriptions (incl. sub-pages)

Evaluation started; Confluence has now a new functionality to export a page to markdown format; lets see if/how this can help (attachements unfortunately are not included)

TASKS:

• @Andrea Visnyeito support the process of transferring the information from DevWiki to RTD

• @Thomas Kulikto support here and check how this process can be automated. Especially the embedded draw.io diagrams (special confluence macro) may cause problems if we use confluence2md to export pages). Shedule a meeting with @Chaker Al-Hakimand team.

• @Chaker Al-Hakimand team to support the transfer.

• @Chaker Al-Hakim, @Thomas Kulikand teams to create a process to transfer information to RTD also for upcoming releases.

Backlog Clean/Sort/Reorder

We will do it in jira!

TASKS:

@Thomas Kulikto prepare/sort/reorder current tasks/issues/epics from various sources.

Issue with RTD TOC

TASKS:

@Andrea Visnyei / @Thomas Kulik check RTD TOC for https://docs.onap.org/en/latest/guides/onap-developer/how-to-use-docs/templates.html

Doc Templates

TASKS:

@Andrea Visnyei and @Andreas Geißler to check current component template and improve if needed

API Documentation

TASKS:

@Kenny Paul , @Eric Debeau Session with @Andy Mayer  needed to clarify how we continue on the API documentation (swagger). The API docs are part of the ARC docs. See also in DevWiki.

@Nicholas Karimi join Kenny in the discussion with @Andy Mayer .

See also in Swagger in RTD

Postponed until @Eric Debeauis back from vacation.

Doc Guideline

TASKS:

Ask users to add always the original file of grafics to the repo (plus the bitmap version of course which is used in wiki/RTD)

Istanbul Release

TASKS:

#doc team: Review Istanbul release notes and project content; extra session required; to be planned.

Usage of Confluence "Tasks" in Meeting Notes

Please do not use "Tasks" in this meeting note. The meeting note is planned to be copied for the next meeting. Unfortunately all "Tasks" are also copied and a NEW INSTANCE of this tasks is created. This leads to multiple duplicated of a single tasks. 
Suggestion: Create a single "Task Page" and embed only a reference in this meeting note. Please always check upfront if this task can/must be added to the DOC JIRA issues instead. 

Other

TASKS:

• @Kenny Paulto check if we can get support (eg. additional internship) to extend the capabilities of the "confluence2md" tool

• @Kenny Paulto discuss with @Jessica Gonzalezif we can have support to get rid of the multiple duplicated (doc) tasks in the DevWiki

• @Thomas Kulikto add a chapter  to RTD that holds information about UseCases and supporting ONAP releases (like we have it in the Architecture Navigator)

Vacations & Upcoming Meetings

Documenting ONAP Architecture (New)

Istanbul-R9 Architecture General Description

Istanbul-R9 ONAP Architecture Component Description

Link management in RTD @Eric Debeau

Many links are managed in RTD

• local links within a repo

• inter-project links using inter-links from sphinx

• links to code repo

• external links to web sites

There is a problem when a documentation linkes to a repo => the branc is not indicated. As result, the link points to the latest release

Propostion to provide guidelines to be then presented for PTL

Many links are broken => need to include a test in JJB and provide information about broken links

Feedback has been given, positive output. Next step, bring to PTL 

Sill required from the project to test
