    • Parked for this week 
  • Current state of the docs and possible updates/changes
    • Current TF doc page is a bit of a 'running list' of items
      • Could be updated/restructured to more clearly identify and point to the various available resources
    • Current 'doc set'
    • VMB: Probably listed in the Community Governance doc, if it's anywhere: 
      • Some community-created content at
      /blob/master/Governance/TungstenFabricCommunityGovernance.rst
      • The PTL acts as the de facto spokesperson for the project.

    • Have a nearly empty repo: 

        • An interesting mix of items, generally related to getting-started/install/deployment
      • Some Juniper/Contrail-created content at 
      tungstenfabricdocs
      • Will stick with rst format for now
    • Have some historical API docs: http://www.opencontrail.org/deploying-opencontrail/
      • Chaitanya will be moving these over to the /docs repo
    • And then we have…?
      • What sort of docs already exist in the /contrail repos?
  • Tracking the work we need to do?
  • JIRA tickets we'll need to create once the JIRA thing is sorted out
    • Getting Started doc

    • Case studies
      • Would also make good blog posts
    • Performance numbers
      • Would also make good blog posts
    • How do we want to organise docs?
      • At least a first draft
  • Existing Contrail public docs
    • Juniper is working on a reorg of their own documentation: organised for purposes ("so you want to do…")
    • Maybe could repurpose that organisation of docs?
    • Couldn't re-use the docs themselves, since at Juniper proprietary

Action items

      • contrail-docs
        • The content here was a test of transferring Contrail 5.0.1 docs over to Github/rst content.  
        • It is essentially raw content (ie. real content but interlinking not established, etc.) .. intent was to stitch it together, but effort was abandoned
      • API guide - currently on OC site, moving over to TF site
        • Just FYI, Juniper will now also host a version of these pages on juniper.net/documentation
  • Some options to consider (not mutually exclusive)
    • Center around community-created docs
      • Parking this for today
    • Leverage and transfer Juniper/Contrail docs to TF/Github
      • It may be an option to reuse the content-transfer model described above
      • The tooling to do this exists
      • Would require 1) coordinating with Juniper's DigiEng team to transfer content, and 2) resources to (re-)thread the raw content together to make a full working doc set
    • Link/point to Juniper/Contrail docs on juniper.net/documentation
      • Instead of setting up around TF-created docs, simply point to existing Contrail doc set
      • Perhaps create a page that mimic's juniper's Contrail doc landing page
      • Clearly would not provide a true 'TF doc set', and there would be some details to figure out, but it would provide an instant full-coverage doc set
      • The TF site already points liberally to github.com/Juniper, and at least one case of pointing to juniper/net.documentation, ie. this is not a fully new premise

Action items

  •   Review/merge minutes above with previous week, continue conversations
  •  
  •  VM (Vicky) Brasseur (she/her) Ask TSC to update community gov doc to better describe the job description of PTL
  •  Kieran & team will have a look at the JIRA & give an MVP for JIRA process for docs
  •  - review notes above for discussion via email or on next call  VM (Vicky) Brasseur (she/her) Review public Contrail repos and locate docs that might exist in them

Backlogged Action Items

  • ???: Get rid of community-docs repo (it's superfluous) ← do this after all of the repos are moved
  • Current locations of all documentation: Defer until after the infra move is complete
  • Current CI/CD status of documentation: Defer until after the infra move is complete
  • Patch approval criteria for docs: Defer until the TSC confirms the process for code.
