Writing Accomplishments
The real value in the Ubuntu Accomplishments system are the different accomplishments that you can achieve. We need more of these, and fortunately, this is a simple and effective way to contribute.
See this page for more information.
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-accomplishments-system 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-system 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.
