What is Season of Docs?
Season of Docs is a new Google program focused on helping to improve the quality of documentation in open source software. As a project under Apache Software Foundation, Apache Gora is applying to participate in this year's Season of docs and we have created this page to capture and record the list of documentation project ideas from Apache Gora.
Technical writers who wish to participate Season of Docs with Apache Gora should contact our primary mailing list dev@gora.apache.org
Project Ideas
1. Rewrite content for Apache Gora New Website
Project description
Our current website mostly has outdated content, so we have plans to migrate our content to a new website. There have been some discussions on Jira.
Expected deliverables
Rewrite all updated content for Apache Gora Website.
Rewrite quick start and tutorial sections with new samples and in more user friendly way.
Create new sections on Apache Gora DataStore APIs and Gora Input Formats.
Create sections on usages of Apache Gora compiler / maven plugin , may be further extended with brief introduction to AVRO schema.
Create a new section on contributor guide and coding standards.
Create a new tutorial on creating datastore modules. ( We do have a WIKI article written for this however this is not user friendly, we should create new bare minimum maven module so that users can customize very easily. )
Some datastore documentations are not complete. Complete these with related to datastore mappings and related property files.
Create new tutorials based on Analytics. ( We currently have sections for Spark. We should further extend this with Apache Pig and Apache Flink. )
