Documenting (in) Drupal: the next generation

The book module is often seen as the documentation in/for Drupal. But it falls short in a couple of areas:

• There is only 1 hierarchy that never really fits all needs
• There are no standards in structuring the information inside a post, so 1 post might actually explain more than 1 topic
• You can only export individual pages or top level chapters with their children, you can't easily export cherry-picked topics (across chapters) into 1 document
• Version management is handled through the forking of the whole documentation

In this session Kristof Van Tomme will explain about single sourcing and DITA (Darwin Information Type Architecture) and how it solves all of the above issues and more. He'll also demo the set of Drupal modules for DITA that his team has been working on.

Archived Video of this is now available.
