Hello team,
over the past several months there's been an influx of both distros looking to
use Calamares and developers wishing to contribute. As a result, some of us
have found ourselves answering the same questions over and over again in
#calamares, which I don't really mind, but it can hurt productivity.
It is also a fact that until today Calamares had almost no documentation, and
the little documentation it had was scattered throughout the main repo and out
of date.
In order to solve all of these issues, I've decided to start the Calamares
wiki [1]. The wiki is live, hosted on GitHub and linked from the
calamares.io
landing page.
I've taken the liberty of moving most of the content that had been dumped as
.md files and plain text into the wiki, and structuring it a bit. The
development section is mostly ok now, but the deployment and packaging section
still needs work.
This is where *you* come in.
I've never packaged nor deployed Calamares for a distro, so most of you
probably know the process and caveats better than I do.
Have you encountered an issue or question multiple times? Please consider
adding it to che FAQ page, with a brief answer.
Do you have tricks up your sleeve regarding Calamares branding, deployment and
configuration files? Do you have best practices that can apply to any distro?
There are empty or almost empty pages for that too, and if for some topic
there are none, let's create them!
Our goal should be to gather all the documentation in this wiki and keep it up
to date and nicely formatted, so when someone drops by #calamares asking to
contribute or use Calamares, we can simply show him or her the way to the
Wiki.
