ANN: Developer meetup on Nov 22: Changes in Jenkins plugin documentation and changelogs

[Oleg Nenashev]

Hi all,

On Novemer 22 Jenkins Documentation SIG will host a Jenkins Online Meetup to talk about the plugin documentation changes and best practices. Meetup URL for registrations and Zoom links: https://www.meetup.com/Jenkins-online-meetup/events/266465039/

In September we announced announced support of GitHub as a source of documentation for the Jenkins Plugin Site. Later in October we put Jenkins Wiki into the read-only state due to the infrastructure issues, and there is an ongoing migration of Jenkins documentation to GitHub and jenkins.io. How does it impact plugin maintainers? How to migrate the documentation and changelogs?

Tentative agenda:

• Oleg Nenashev - Overview of the Documentation changes
• Gavin Mogan - Demo of the Jenkins Wiki Exporter tool
• Mark Waite - Migrating plugin documentation to GitHub
• Mark Waite, Gavin Mogan - Migrating documentation pages to jenkins.io
• Oleg Nenashev - Automating plugin changelogs with Release Drafter
• Q&A

• Wiki export tool: https://jenkins-wiki-exporter.jenkins.io/

Best regards,

Oleg
