Talk:Development/Documentation

From KDE TechBase
Revision as of 19:12, 19 February 2007 by Dhaumann (talk | contribs) (fix typo (all other typos are there by intention ;))

I think that a number of the articles this page is linking to should rather be under Development/Tutorials and the scope of this page should be reduced. A page called Devlopment/Documentation seems like it could cover everything --milliams 16:18, 19 February 2007 (CET)


Ok, let's go through the list:

  • Makefile.am Howto
should go to Development/Tutorials/KDE3
  • Finding out about KDE's installation - kde-config
already exists here
  • KConfig Module HOWTO
should go to Development/Tutorials/KDE3
  • Debugging HOWTO
already exists here
  • Driving Konqueror from the command prompt
already exists here
  • Memory leak hunting HOWTO
should be cleaned up and integrated here. maybe I even did that already
  • KDE Internationalization (i18n) HOWTO
already exists here for kde4, and if at all should be in Development/Tutorials/KDE3 for kde3
  • Porting to Qt 4 and KDE 4 Porting Guide
partly exists already here, see also the discussion!
  • KDE API Reference Documentation HOWTO
already exists here
  • KDE 3 Porting Guide
do not port at all (kde2 is deprecated! really), or put it into Development/Tutorials/KDE3

and:

  • Binary Compatibility Issues with C++
already exists here
  • Common Programming Mistakes
hey, the first one we have not ported yet. should be moved for kde4 into Development/Tutorials (TODO)
  • KDE Developer's Checklist
look svery old. if migrated, please fix it for kde3 or even kde4 (TODO)
  • Designing Qt-Style C++ APIs
we don't need it. the link is already mentioned in Policies/Library_Code_Policy
  • Shared Memory Notes
indeed, we don't have that ported, yet. I think it makes sense to add it to Development/Tutorials/Debugging as a short article (TODO)
  • What is Scripty?
indeed a TODO :)

The rest of the links are already in the Tutorials section (at least the important ones).

As you can see, I/we have put a *lot* of efforts into this. I don't see a reason right now to have Development/Documentation at all. I'll remove it again, if you guys agree :)
