WebPlatform.orgDoc Sprint: Work Plan


Hello, and welcome!

The two focus groups we have today are:

• The API reference group

• The CSS property reference group

• (float from one to the other if wished)


There are a lot of APIs we want to cover on WebPlatform.org, with docs at different stages. To get started:

• Read the API project plan: wpd.mx/APIpr

• Read our Guide to creating API pageswpd.mx/APIgd

• Choose what you want to work on

• Let us know, and get going!

CSS properties

There are a load of CSS properties to cover, and we need your help! To get started:

• Read the CSS project plan: wpd.mx/CSSpr

• Read our Guide to CSS property pageswpd.mx/CSSgd

• Choose what you want to work on (concentrate on highest priorities first)

• Let us know, and get going!


Your main contact for the CSS focus group:Chris Mills.

CSS properties


Or... “do what you want!”

Don’t want to do CSS docs? How about

• Fixing bugs

• Working on templates/extensions

• Writing some different docs

• Working on skinning

• You could also do just demos, or writing, or proofing...


Working practice

Work how you want, as long as you are happy and productive!

Collaborate. Help each other!

Let us know what you’re working on, and when you start new things.


Getting help

We are keeping it low-fi during the sprint!

• Grab a steward

• Raise your hand

• Talk to others next to you

• Don’t be afraid — we won’t bite (much)


Thanks!Questions?

Things to bear in mind

• You need to be logged in before you can edit things

• When making major edits or adding a new page, work offline on a text editor

• If you want to move or delete pages, talk to us first

• It’s Media Wiki based!


Media Wiki crash course

• (Almost) no tags needed

• * and # for bullets and numbers

• =x=, ==x==, etc. for heading levels

• ’’x’’ and ’’’x’’’ for bold/italic



• [URL link-text] for external links

• [[relative-URL|link-text]] for internal

• [file:filename.xxx] for embedding files

• Tables are horrible



• <syntaxHighlight></syntaxHighlight> for code blocks

• <code></code> for inline code

• Use <div> and <span> to hang style=”” off, for bespoke styling

• Use proper list markup for complicated lists


Thanks!Questions?
