The plan®

[yajo]

• Move this repo to OCA.
• Set up Netlify in OCA side.
• Check Decap CMS works after moving to new site. Tested in Update Pages “contributing” #6.
• Do some more realistic examples, including a full collaboration flow between several contributors, reviewers, ...
• Include some metadata (versions, maintainer, license, repo, weblate link, runboat link, maturity). Possibly fetch it by JS using Github API. Otherwise, the bot fills it statically. [WIP] Algorithm to obtain metadata from an addon name #10
• Update readme template so that modules readmes link for docs and hide the rest of the important readme parts under a "Details" button. This could be enabled with an option of oca-gen-addons-readme.
• Put our logo and brand styles.
• Make it beautiful. 💄
• Make OCA bot push docs #7
• Import docs from pre-existing modules. (Maybe done by the bot automatically?)
• Update maintainer-tools in oca repos template.
• Add a ✏️ button on each page, for easy editing.
• Set up an official domain such as docs.odoo-community.org.
  • Reconfigure Netlify.
  • Check Decap CMS works with the new domain.
  • Transfer OAuth Github app ownership from @yajo to @OCA.
• Document very well how to document very well.
• Establish repo standards #9
• Announce this.
• Test the new flow for a couple of months.
• If it is satisfactory, remove https://odoo-community.org/shop/

@yajo , Jairo, with Julie we propose to add the following steps to the plan, regarding the /shop replacement:

• Add the version link to Github to the documentation page of the module (in order to see in which versions the module is available and, if needed, go to the module in Github and download it).
• Verify if we keep the information showed on the /shop like: Licence, Maintainer, Repository.
• Evaluate what we do with the buttons for: Weblate, Runboat and Maturity (we keep them in the module's readme in Github or we move them to the docs repo?). Maybe this decision depends on how we solve showing the available versions of the module.

Please, do not hesitate to add more information (or modify something according to your ideas).

OK, I added all in a single step:

Include some metadata (versions, maintainer, license, repo, weblate link, runboat link, maturity). Possibly fetch it by JS using Github API. Otherwise, the bot fills it statically.

[sbidoul]

I think the "update the bot" task is too high in the list and this should be done as one of the last things, after, for instance, "display addons metadata" or "update the readme generator", and even maybe "make it beautiful".

The reason is that I would like to gain confidence this docs site will become a good replacement for the apps store before this is used at scale, and avoid the risk of having the two tools to maintain forever.

[sbidoul]

I have reordered that tasks a bit according to my previous comment.

[dreispt]

I suggest adding a "MVP" top item to the list, with sub items on what is pending to make it possible.
One of those would be to document instruction on how to use this.

[yajo]

I think what you ask is already done, @dreispt.

The MVP is live at https://oca-docs.netlify.app/ and ready to accept contributions, and the point of documenting how to use it is already listed as "Document very well how to document very well."

We have a bare-bones contribution guide at https://oca-docs.netlify.app/contributing/ FWIW.

Hi team, thank you for the really great job!

I have a question regarding this:

• If it is satisfactory, remove https://odoo-community.org/shop/

Will there be a "Download" button on the module page so visitors could download a module instantly?

[yajo]

Will there be a "Download" button on the module page so visitors could download a module instantly?

I don't think so. Probably it will be more like "Download: pip install odoo-addon-partner-fax".

I don't think so. Probably it will be more like "Download: pip install odoo-addon-partner-fax".

I see. Well, I think a button is a crucial part so we should definitely find a way to make it easy to download a module for non-technical people.
