General Documentation Issue [message #145525] Tue, 07 August 2007 07:46 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
hello,

Intro:
I'm 'working' with GMF for over 4 month now (full time), but still
lacking an overview of the documentation. I think one problem is that
there's no GMF book, but I doubt it that one book could address all the
diversity of GMF.

Existing documentation:
The documentation of GMF is split into GMF-Tools (wiki) and the
GMF-Runtime (eclipse-help). This gets mixed up with e.g. FAQs or some
runtime-articles in the wiki. A lot of concepts / features are inplicit
explained in tutorials or are explained due to an implementation in an
open-source project which costs extra time to find the interesting place
in a complex set-up. Another good information source is of course the
EclipseCon and Jax presentations, publications in EclipseMag etc. each
addressing a bunch of topics. Last but not least GEF books address lots
of concepts of the GMF runtime.

Conclusion:
My impression is that _the documentation isn't as bad as it looks like_,
but it takes a lot of time finding the right place. The reason for this
is because there's no aggregation (or index in terms of where to look
for a specific problem) of it. For me this results in mind-numbing tasks
like printing out the docs e.g. presentations, writing the treated
topics on top of it and later on when I actually need it trying to
remember in which resource I've read it.

Suggestion(abstract):
In addition to invest time to write further documentation a better time/
benefit rate would be achieved with a link collection of the existing
documentation.

Suggestion(concrete):
I guess a structured wiki-page like the index and/or the content of a
book would be a very good idea.


This could look like:
(+link for every item)

EditPolicies:
Developer Guide to Diagram Runtime Framework P.10f
GMF Best Practices P.8-10
IBMs Redbook P.110ff

Decorators(Shape):
Extending your DSM by ... P22-26
Creating your own DSM using GMF P.28

Decorating Model:
GMF Best Practices P.19-24

Diagram Partitioning:
(Guess I've seen it in) Ecore Editor @ GmfMapClass XXX and GmfGen class XYZ

Draw2D:
IBMs Redbook ...
Online Tutorials ...

Of course this would need a better structure, but the idea should be clear.


Final words:
I assume the time creating this would be amortized soon in relation to
the time the gmf-professionals spend in answering the recurring
newsgroup questions.

What do you think? Wouldn't this be a cheap, easy and feasable improvement?

Good idea, thanks! I've created a skeleton wiki index page based on your
content below, and linked it from the main documentation wiki page.

http://wiki.eclipse.org/GMF_Documentation_Index

I'll add more content later, but would encourage you and others to
contribute to this wiki as well. For some reason, people seem reluctant to
create/edit our wiki pages (to Ward's dismay, no doubt).

Thanks again,
Rich

thanks ;)

Well I tried to edit this page and made a suggestion how we could format
the links. But right now I get logged out of the wiki every 2 clicks
(firefox & IE) making it really hard to add something :(

well, I added a template which we could use to put the index in a good
looking format and to stay flexible for view-changes.

Take a look

allright, I indexed 2 presentations to make a beginning for our index
(http://wiki.eclipse.org/GMF_Documentation_Index).

Added following stuff:
Best Practices
Extending your DSM by leveraging the GMF Runtime
Developer Guide to Diagram Runtime Framework

check out if we could start like this. As soon as I realize I'm not the
only person who tries to improve this index I'll add 3-4 presentations more.

Wow, that's quite a bit. At this rate, it seems the index will certainly be
larger than our accumulated documentation ;)

I'll try to add some today (at least my name as author of the tutorial).

Thanks,
Rich

ok, I spend quite some time to build this up. I made sure that
everything from the GMF Doc site is also linked. So you might consider
linking this as the primary page (it's definitely better ;). I will now
just add stuff I'm currently using, so don't hope of too much
contribution from me.

I already ran into problems:
1) The page got too big (yes, a real problem): If someone edits the
whole wiki-page and press save, nothing is transported and the whole
page is empty (all content removed).
-> already wrote the eclipse-webmasters an email
-> splitting the article doesn't make sense because it's still an index
-> an alternative would be to use templates, but this would pollute the
template namespace of the wiki with article-stuff
2) I don't know how to change the "Based on work by" phrase at the very
end ;)

greets
stefan
