Documentation for Reports

[Jenny Turner [PALS]]

Hello Evergreen Reports folks...

After the EG Community IRC meeting last week, in which I mentioned
wanting DIG representation on the Reports Taskforce, the following
questions were posed by Robert Soulliere on the DIG list:


... I wonder if someone from that group [the EG Reports TaskForce]
could...

1) Edit the reports part directly to include more meaty information?

2) Share any documentation they might have in any format with the DIG
so we can convert to DocBook and include in the Reports section. Or
point us to any known existing documentation?

3) Specify what they would like to see added to the documentation such
as more real life examples or techniques?

Robert also wondered whether the documentation needs "more detailed
step-by-step procedures for using the staff client reports module,
more precise examples on various types of reports using the staff
client report module, or more techniques for creating reports using
raw SQL outside of the staff client."

Your thoughts any of this would be most appreciated and enlightening.
Also, volunteers for any of the specific tasks would be great. We can
talk about this more at our next meeting (scheduled for next
Wednesday, Dec. 8 at 1:30 Central/2:30 Eastern), but I thought I'd get
the discussion started now.

Thanks!
