Developer Documentation
Posted: Tue Feb 12, 2013 10:42 am
I am putting together a repository of information on official Joomla Development source. I've been a Joomla user for about 5 years now, but never much used the dev. side of things so I am new to the docs.
I see from forums that documentation used to be on DocBook XML but has transitioned to Markdown, I presume this is available in /docs on the GitHub repository. What is http://developer.joomla.org/manual? Is this generated from the GitHub /doc repo or is it a separately generated document source. Also it says Joomla Platform 12.1 (but with an icon saying Platform 11.3!).
The latest Platform release is 12.3 where do I go to get latest docs on this (is GitHub always latest version)? Will this be transitioned across to developer.joomla.org site/manual, or should GitHub be used now as authoritive?
Where does docs.joomla.org/developers fit in. I know its a wiki but is there any official cross updating of the latest Joomla Platform docs etc. to this i.e. I only knew Platform 12.3 had been released because of a link under development news on developer.joomla.org
Im not nitpicking and I realise most areas are looked after by volunteers, I am just trying to understand where eveything is.
