KEY DOC DISCUSSION

Samuel Cadellin Skipsey: (10:04 AM)

Given the signal failure of the KeyDocs system in getting people to update existing KeyDocs, I'm not really sure having more of them would help anything.

Well, that gets into the second question: are Wikis the best way to present documentation?

Ewan Mac Mahon: (10:12 AM)

This is what the keydocs mechanism is supposed to help with.

Ewan Mac Mahon: (10:14 AM)

I'm not sure that's an effect of its being a wiki, that's an effect of us all being pretty self-directed and often having things that are more urgent/fun to do.

Sjones: (10:14 AM)

Solution lies with the structure

What needs to be documented for what purpose?

Who is the user?

Who is the provider?

What is the structure?

Ewan Mac Mahon: (10:15 AM)

A wiki page with a single responsible person (a la keydocs) is basically just a single author doc.

I'm also not sure this is quite this much of a problem as it might sound -

it's good to have good docs, but bad docs aren't all that bad; we're al used to reading the internet with a critical eye.

Sjones: (10:16 AM)

Yes.... we have to deal with much staleness.

ATLAS CLEANUP OF NON RUCIO/SAM DATA


Ewan Mac Mahon: (10:18 AM)

I think it makes more sense for the sites to do it, but there needs to be a really, really clear request of exactly what is being asked for.
