docs/release/docs is a strange folder :) |
|
I can't comment on the moved file somehow. But are you sure you want to move the OWNERS file to docs/release/meta? This means you will lose permissions on docs/release |
|
@sbueringer Thank you for your views. Do you have anything in mind for the ../docs folder name? |
|
I would just leave the ones from docs/release/docs in docs/release. Just seems redundant to have a docs folder within a docs folder :) |
|
here is the kubernetes release example: https://github.com/kubernetes/sig-release/tree/master/release-team i believe the idea here was to split some of these lengthier docs (i.e. https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/cluster-api/blob/main/docs/release/release-tasks.md) so they are broken up by team. maybe we go with |
|
We're probably talking about different docs :) I was talking about these: (or rather the ones that remain there like release-cycle.md) And they seem to be neither
I'm in general fine with whatever you want to do here as a release team. I just found it strange to have a docs folder in a |

can you update filename for consistency (README.md)

let's lowercase the CI here in the filename (ci-signal-bug...)

we can remove these headers in all three directories' READMEs (the directory structure now indicates the applicable role). the subsequent subheaders can probably then all be bumped up to h2

this is outstanding as well -- the headers i was referring to are CI Signal/Bug Triage/Automation Manager, Communications/Docs/Release Notes Manager and Release Lead in each of team-specific Readmes

these links appear to be broken -- can't find the official doc on this but here's a good stackoverflow reference for how heading anchors work in github markdown: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27981247/github-markdown-same-page-link

seems like the links were removed rather than fixed? i think it would be nice to retain a nav section within each team directory's readme

hi @SubhasmitaSw are you still working on this PR? |

| # role-handbooks | ||
|
|
||
| These handbooks are maintained by current and previous contributors who have staffed these roles. They are intended to be living documents that evolve as the roles and project evolves. Do not treat them as rules set in stone, but guidelines to be re-examined. | ||

| ## Overview |
There was a problem hiding this comment.
can we switch the hierarchy here? Overview as the main header and then role handbooks as a secondary section
on second thought, i think we should keep the Onboarding doc and have it still contain this Overview but remove the team-specific sections as they are now in the role-handbooks. then this file will just be the first 3 lines of this doc
There was a problem hiding this comment.
I think we should keep a first point of context when a first-timer reads this readme first. It should help navigate to role-specific handbooks after an overview of the same.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
its good for context, but the hierarchy doesnt really make sense. we have kind of an aside about role-handbooks as the main header, then the Overview as a subheader.
the suggestion is to maintain the original release-team-onboarding.md in the parent folder with the overview so that it's an obvious entrypoint in the release docs. then we can include this note on the role-handbooks as a sub-header in that doc, or just have it be on its own in this current doc

I think this might be a bit too general. It could help to reference the release timeline instead and understand how communications come into play there.

do we have any particular docs about comms workflow?
