MoodleDocs:Moodle Docs development

MoodleDocs links

Moodle 1.6 will have a button in the header that links to pages in MoodleDocs with the same path as the pages in Moodle e.g. the Forums index page links to mod/forum/index.

MoodleDocs in other languages

• Moodle documentation is required in every language!
• Each version will contain the language code in the URL e.g.docs.moodle.org/es/..., docs.moodle.org/de/... etc.
• Moodle help files will remain in each language pack for those using Moodle locally without an Internet connection.
• All documentation contributions should be encouraged, including creating new pages i.e. contributors should not be restricted to only translating English pages.
• Essential documentation should be decided upon and assigned to a core category. All these pages should be translated.
• MediaWiki page titles are the same as the last part of the URL, however these may be translated by moving the page and so creating a redirect e.g. docs.moodle.org/nl/Metacourses moved to docs.moodle.org/nl/Koepelcursus.
• Perhaps MoodleDocs in other languages could follow a similar method as for the Mozilla Developer Center.

• Useful language links:
  • Wikipedia:Interlanguage links
  • Meta:Conventions for multilingualism
  • Help:Interwiki linking - see interlanguage linking
