Hi all,
Quick recap: The documentation team is set to disband as an official project, and make the leap to becoming a SIG (Special Interest Group).
This decision is not one we have made lightly, but with the changes of direction since Pike (project documentation belonging with the projects, etc) the need for a centralised documentation team as an official project is no longer integral to producing the software.
The transition of the docs team to a SIG has already begun [1] and [2]. The openstackdocstheme, openstack-doc-tools, os-api-ref and whereto have been placed within the remit of the Oslo team and approved.
The remaining individuals working on the docs team are sorting through what's left and where it is best placed. In [1], Doug has rightfully pointed out that whilst the documentation team as it stands today is no longer "integral", the docs.openstack.org web site is. An owner is required.
The suggestion is for the Release Management team is the "least worst" (thanks, tonyb) place for the website manaagement to land. As Tony points out, this requires learning new tools and processes but the individuals working on the docs team currently have no intention to leave, and are around to help manage this from the SIG.
Open to discussion and suggestions, but to summarise the proposal here:
docs.openstack.org ownership is to transition to be the responsibility of the Release Management team officially provided there are no strong objections.
Thanks,
