|
|
<p>The doceng@ team is a body to handle some of the meta-project
|
|
issues associated with the FreeBSD Documentation Project. The main
|
|
responsibilities of this team are:</p>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>To grant approval for new documentation committers. Documentation
|
|
includes articles and books, website pages, manual pages, release
|
|
notes and translations of the above. There are two kinds of
|
|
doc commit bits: translator commit bit, which is limited to
|
|
translations in a particular language and full commit bit, which
|
|
is only granted to aspirants, who have shown enough English
|
|
writing skills.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>To maintain the doc project primer, which documents best
|
|
practices for the FreeBSD Documentation Project.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>To manage the doc/ release process. This includes coordinating
|
|
the release documentation updates with the various translation
|
|
teams, coordinating with the release engineering team to tag the
|
|
doc/ tree during the release cycle, and documenting these
|
|
procedures.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>To ensure that the generated documentation (PDF, HTML, etc.) on
|
|
the Web site and FTP site are up to date with respect to the
|
|
versions of the documents in the SVN tree. This includes making
|
|
sure the Web site build is functioning correctly, and also
|
|
involves working with the admin team to ensure that the primary
|
|
Web server has all of the requisite software installed
|
|
(including build scripts).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>To act as MAINTAINER (when necessary) or to work in coordination
|
|
with existing MAINTAINERs, to ensure that the documentation
|
|
toolchains (DocBook, groff, etc.) are in good working order.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>To maintain the sanctity of the FreeBSD doc/ tree.
|
|
Due to the visibility of these files and documents to the
|
|
outside world, doceng@ reserves the right to immediately backout
|
|
(or fix without waiting for response from the original
|
|
committer) changes that introduce broken links, cause the Web
|
|
site build to break, or otherwise degrade the accessibility of
|
|
the FreeBSD Web site and documentation.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>To appoint and oversee a &os; Webmaster Team that carries out
|
|
daily maintenance of the Project web servers in collaboration
|
|
with other teams.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is specifically noted here that doceng@ is <strong>not</strong> a conflict
|
|
resolution body for the FreeBSD Documentation Project. Discussion and
|
|
consensus on the freebsd-doc mailing list is how the project has
|
|
conducted itself, and how it is expected to conduct itself in the
|
|
future.</p>

<h2>Current Membership</h2>
|
|
|
|
The current members of this team are &a.doceng.members;.
|
|
|
|
<h2>New Doc Committers</h2>
|
|
|
|
New doc committers are approved by doceng@ with a vote through email
|
|
and a two week timeout. A committer is approved if at least one doceng@
|
|
member votes yes, and no doceng@ members vote no.
|
|
|
|
When a commit bit proposal is accepted, doceng@ sends out an
|
|
acceptance email to the mentor and the new committer with core@
|
|
and accounts@ CC'ed.
|
|
|
|
<h2>Idle Doc Committers</h2>
|
|
|
|
Doc Committers that have not made a commit in 18 months will be
|
|
contacted by a doceng@ member and without a response after a delay of
|
|
2 weeks, these committers will be automatically removed from the
|
|
access file. In case of no response, doceng@ will also contact core@
|
|
about the idle committers. Committers that wish to get back their
|
|
commit bits will have to reapply with the appropriate authority.
