#ansible-docs: Documentation Working Group aka DaWGs

Meeting summary

1. 1. initial version of a mkdocs Ansible theme in the works but mkdocs may be problematic for a multisite docs build. See https://github.com/facelessuser/pymdown-extensions/issues/1986 samccann (samccann, 16:03:54)
   2. official agenda at https://github.com/ansible/community/issues/678#issuecomment-1458651403 (samccann, 16:05:44)
   
   
2. Action Item updates: (samccann, 16:05:53)
   1. open samccann to create a list of 'docs stuff that needs updating for new release' to catch things like roadmap updates early on. (samccann, 16:06:05)
   2. closed samccann to review top page hits and add to https://github.com/ansible/jinja-docsite/issues/35 (samccann, 16:06:25)
   
   
3. personas and revamping the docsite (samccann, 16:07:18)
   1. see https://ansible.github.io/jinja-docsite/ for current prototype pages. This will be the new pages soon on docs.ansible.com so feedback needed on this! (samccann, 16:07:57)
   2. log issues or maybe fix a few at https://github.com/ansible/jinja-docsite/blob/devel/CONTRIBUTING.md (samccann, 16:08:28)
   3. https://ansible.github.io/jinja-docsite/user.html (samccann, 16:21:47)
   4. docsite feedback - main page is still very Ansible-core focused and links to 'other resources' is less obvious that it brings you to a new page with more details on the journey so to speak (samccann, 16:24:11)
   5. the term Ansible is overloaded. Does it really reflect things like navigator, awx etc etc? (samccann, 16:25:30)
   6. https://github.com/ansible/jinja-docsite/issues/31 (samccann, 16:27:43)
   7. new docsite needs at least the following before it goes live (samccann, 16:41:16)
   8. 1 - have a new 'place' for all the existing pages. Some of those new places might be the ecosystem page, other's have real pages so to speak (samccann, 16:41:25)
   9. 2 - fix basic responsive design issues (samccann, 16:41:37)
   10. 3 - translation and prior version stuff has to work (core and controller) (samccann, 16:41:51)
   11. 4. Needs more early-user/tester feedback. maybe a focus group to use it for a time? (samccann, 16:43:05)
   12. could ask user channel for help, or a live zoom or something... (samccann, 16:45:10)
   13. would also be good if those 'other resources' links were more obvious. We knew there were subpages but not how to get to them until we fiddled a bit (samccann, 16:48:05)
   14. we may not need a full minimal landing page but something on the main page for 'what do we mean when we say Ansible'. Also remember people have the url docs.ansible.com memorized so many people will bypass any higher-level website page and come straight here. (samccann, 16:49:27)
   
   
4. Open Floor (samccann, 16:50:14)
   1. semantic markup is (mostly) here! (samccann, 16:52:10)
   2. add your thoughts to the static site generator for potential new website - https://github.com/ansible-community/community-topics/issues/210 (samccann, 16:53:10)
