Hi to all,

now I think it is time, to announce my little personal project here on
the list.

Since last year in November, I'm in education for becoming a
certified 'Technical Writer'. This education ends with a little project
and an exam. One part of the project is to write a documentation or a
handbook or something similar.

As we know since we choosed GOsa² [1] as our new admin tool, that there
is no documentation of GOsa² covering the special aspects of
Debian-Edu.
So I decided last year in November to get the permission for writing
that documentation.
Today I got that permission and I can tell you what the project covers
in detail.

Short description of the project:
The task is to create the missing documentation for the new admin tool
for the new release of Debian-Edu in the most important parts which are
the user- and services management modules.  At that it will be taken
care of the differnet user roles.
The documentation will be created in the DITA [2] document standard [3].
The processing of the topic based files for creating the HTML and PDF
output will be done with the actual DITA-Open-Tool [4] kit.
I choosed to use this relative new DITA standard and not the old and
proof docbook standard to get the benefits of topic oriented writing.

GOsa²,  XML and DITA are new to me and I hope to find here someone in
the right moment to help me getting information about GOsa² and its
special implementation in Debian-Edu.

The project starts next week with some planning and design tasks.
On the 26th of April the writing starts. The end of the project is the
6th of July.
Unfortunatly not all of that time is scheduled for writing but I hope to
get the documentation done as well as I'm able to. The documentation
will be published under the GPL so that there will be no problem to get
it in Debian-Edu in our SVN afterwards so that I and maybe others are
able to complete and translate it. The documentation will be initial
written in German because my English is not well enough for technical
writing.
