[Labs-l] Tool Labs documentation sprint July 23-25

Fri Jul 19 19:37:00 UTC 2013

A bunch of us are going to concentrate on improving documentation
relating to Tool Labs next week, July 23-25.  Now that obsolete docs can
now be moved to their own namespace, "Obsolete", on
wikitech.wikimedia.org, and now that WMF contractor Kirsten
Menger-Anderson is working on a plan for improving documentation, it's a
good time to do a big refresh.

I personally want:
* HOWTOs, references, and examples for people settling in and using Tool
Labs - we have some to consolidate and clarify
* tweaks to improve http://tools.wmflabs.org/ (the automatically
generated inventory of bots and tools in Tool Labs)
* a clearer inventory of available services
* a curated directory of popular tools/bots that are already settled in,
and some ideas for case studies to feature on blog.wikimedia.org

Kirsten's going to send out a plan of attack, and we can all collaborate
on an Etherpad, onwiki, and in #wikimedia-labs during the sprint.
Looking forward to helping out!
