Documentation

Documenting the Ubuntu Accomplishments

Every accomplishment you see in the app provides information and guidance for how to get started and achieve the accomplishment. The goal of this documentation is to provide detailed guidance of what the trophy is, how to get started, what you need to do to accomplish it, and where you can find help.

Fortunately providing this documentation is simple; it just means editing text files.

Getting The Accomplishments

Grab the accomplishments by running:

bzr branch lp:ubuntu-community-accomplishments

In there you can see an accomplishments directory with an ubuntu-community accomplishments directory. To improve the documentation, just open up each .accomplishment file and edit the content in there.

For more information on what the different sections mean, see this page.

Submitting Your Contribution

From inside your ubuntu-community-accomplishments branch.

If you added new documentation files, first add them:

bzr add

Now commit your changes:

bzr commit

Now push them to Launchpad:

bzr push lp:~yourlaunchpadusername/ubuntu-community-accomplishments/give-your-branch-a-cool-name-here

Now go to Launchpad and propose it for merging into lp:ubuntu-community-accomplishments.

Documenting the App Itself

Included with the GUI app is documentation for how it works. The system is designed for all users (beginner upwards), so it is important we have simple, effective documentation. This is a great place to help!

The documentation is written using Mallard (http://projectmallard.org/).

Make sure you have the system installed and running. Installation instructions are here

Inside the ubuntu-accomplishments-viewer branch is a help directory. This is where you can find the different Mallard files. Please edit the documentation, improve it, expand it, and make it better for our users.
