[Qgis-psc] Fwd: proposal for a QGIS documentation web infrastructure development sprint @ 7th QGIS Developer Meeting in Lyon 2012

[Paolo Cavallini]

Hi all.
I'm forarding this proposal by Paolo Corti.
I think it is very interesting, but I leave the decision to the psc.
All the best.

-------- Messaggio originale --------
Hello

in the context of the 7th QGIS Developer Meeting in Lyon 2012, my idea
is to make a sprint for the development and deployment of a
documentation web infrastructure for the QGIS project.

The steps I intend to follow, for developing such an architecture, are:

* configuration of the environment (virtualenv with Python 2.7, Django
1.3 [1], Translate Toolkit 2.9 [2], Sphinx 1.1 [3]
* installation and setup of Pootle [4]
* creation and configuration of the Sphinx project
* setup of the initial rst documentation pages for the QGIS manual
(rst pages will be committed to git automatically)
* creation of the sync mechanism between the Pootle application and
the Sphinx project: as soon as a documentation editor x for the
language y will commit to git his/her modifications, the Sphinx
project will be automatically rebuilt and web site updated with this
build
* deployment of the infrastructure to the QGIS production web site

I am planning to attend to the meeting for 3/4 days, still in doubt
between 12/13/14/15 or 14/15/16 of April
I will arrive in Lyon from Milan, Italy, by plane.

Therefore I need the following reimbursements:

* 3/4 nights for the hotel: still not sure which one, but I guess it
will be someting around 50 euro per night, so a total of 150/200 euro
* easyjet flight ticket, around 50 euro for both ways as of today
* around 50 euro for airport and city transfers

Thanks for your kind consideration
Paolo
