Project:The AGS Help - a candidate for leading the future in the online help and the Manual!
Details:I and Morganw have been working a possible candidate for the future of AGS Help.
The
still in evaluation help project is hosted in this Github repository (https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags-manual).
Discussion on the text and new texts and alterations is done using the repository issues (https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags-manual/issues).
The editing of the texts is done through the project wiki (https://github.com/adventuregamestudio/ags-manual/wiki). The reading of the texts can be both throught the wiki and the webpage (https://adventuregamestudio.github.io/ags-manual/).
Positions Available:Right now we need a person with AGS experience to do good writing on the visual Editors (Room, Characters, Inventory...) and possibly tutorials. Also someone that can do a reading and find texts that are not correct for current stable version of AGS (3.4.1.13).
You can only work on a page of the manual. If you are interested, you can discuss and write your text directly in the Github Issue page!
Once a task is claimed, I will mark it here with an "x" on the corresponding item.
- [ ] Do writing on Inventory Items Editor (https://github.com/ericoporto/agshelp/issues/9)
- [ ] Do writing on Characters Editor (https://github.com/ericoporto/agshelp/issues/8)
- [ x] Do writing on Views Editor (https://github.com/ericoporto/agshelp/issues/7)
- [ ] Do writing on Sprite Manager (https://github.com/ericoporto/agshelp/issues/6)
- [ ] Do writing on Room Editor (https://github.com/ericoporto/agshelp/issues/5)
If you have interest in writing on a different topic, create an issue on the Github issue tracker detailing your interest!
Deadline:I'm looking to have this written until mid August. I want the project to be considered either mature enough to be moved to the Github AGS organisation or a complete and utter failure so I can test a different solution.
I believe that content generate won't be lost, even though code on the help itself can end being thrown away.
Comments:Interested parties can reply to this thread or contact me via PM.
UPDATE (29th July):
Hey, the repository moved to the AGS organization on github and the wiki is opened for editing . I've updated the important links on the previous message.
