| dholbach | good morning | 07:05 |
|---|---|---|
| czajkowski | aloha | 09:20 |
| dholbach | kyleN, mhall119: I'm just going through all content on developer.u.c for a general review - and I wasn't quite sure: what is http://developer.ubuntu.com/apps/platform/apis/ for? | 14:40 |
| dholbach | is this supposed to go to developer.u.c/api at some stage? | 14:41 |
| mhall119 | dholbach: those look like balloons' docs....not sure why they're under the main platform section | 14:42 |
| mhall119 | maybe the page can just be renamed from API to Quality or Testing | 14:43 |
| dholbach | mhall119, reparented as well? | 14:43 |
| dholbach | balloons, ^ | 14:43 |
| kyleN | i think he said some of his testing apis are platform appropriate (like autopilot generally) and some are toolkit specific and they would be placed in the apt sections there | 14:43 |
| dholbach | hum hum... | 14:43 |
| mhall119 | dholbach: I think a reparenting isn't needed if we rename te page | 14:44 |
| dholbach | I think from a "which bucket does this fit in" perspective it makes sense | 14:44 |
| dholbach | but for a new user going through the items in the navigation it's a bit confusing | 14:44 |
| dholbach | or it might be | 14:45 |
| kyleN | also, so far we have strictly required api docs to fit into the current api scheme. these do not though | 14:46 |
| kyleN | mhall119, ^ | 14:47 |
| dholbach | kyleN, it might be more a question for Nick | 14:48 |
| kyleN | dholbach, doesn't mhall119 manage all the api docs? | 14:48 |
| mhall119 | the autopilot API docs are not strictly API reference, it's reference + tutorials + FAQ + more | 14:49 |
| mhall119 | kyleN: I don't | 14:49 |
| dholbach | kyleN, from the discussion above (I haven't checked) it looks like Nick wrote the article and might know more | 14:49 |
| kyleN | hmm. | 14:49 |
| balloons | yes, we had the 'quality' section, but it was agred to drop it and place the docs in existing sections | 14:50 |
| kyleN | balloons and I had agreed quality should be a side nav but that idea was modified in a meeting as I recall | 14:51 |
| dholbach | balloons, kyleN: the reason I brought it up was that it might look to somebody who's new like "this is platform api docs" | 14:52 |
| dholbach | while it's actually (if I understand correctly) links to apis which are platform agnostic or didn't fit elsewhere | 14:53 |
| dholbach | I don't know if we should fix this or what a good way to clarify this might be | 14:53 |
| dholbach | I just wanted to bring it up | 14:53 |
| kyleN | i still think a quality section/side nav would solve this | 14:53 |
| kyleN | I wonder if we are overconcerned about the proliferation of side nav items. I tend to think a set of sid nave topics would be very useful. | 14:54 |
| dholbach | maybe we should have a "you might be looking for the <link to the api website>" to the top of the page somewhere as well | 14:54 |
| kyleN | and some other dev sites do it that way: https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/navigation/#section=Topics&topic=Mathematical%20Computation | 14:54 |
| balloons | I have no horse in the race, except the content. I'm ok with placing it inside the existing sections, and agree quality as a sidenav could be weird. But yes, the AP docs and linkouts to other tool docs need to live somewhere.. a bit like linking to third party apis | 14:59 |
| dholbach | balloons, sure sure - I didn't mean to say that they should be kicked out or something :) | 15:01 |
| balloons | dholbach, I know.. you are just confused and want things to be logically laid out. I agree :-) | 15:01 |
| dholbach | balloons, I was first just wondering what they were and then how we can make it a bit clearer to somebody who has little idea where they're headed | 15:01 |
| balloons | I'm wide open.. let's try some of your ideas | 15:07 |
| czajkowski | aloha | 15:09 |
| dholbach | all right my friends - see you all tomorrow - have a great rest of your day! | 16:21 |
| jcastro | czajkowski, wow really | 18:49 |
| jcastro | an aircraft carrier? | 18:49 |
| czajkowski | jcastro: eh ? | 20:32 |
