Becoming a Documentation Editor!

Welcome! Documentation editors play a key role in the DIY Drones community. Our ongoing discussions and efforts for the Ardupilot.com sites can be found here at the APM Wiki Editors Discussion Group. The best way to get involved in documentation is to pay the Editors Discuss group a visit, request to join the group, and start participating!

If you'd like edit permission on the Ardupilot.com manual sites, to fix or add something, please join the group above. We'll send you an introductory email with information about how to get started editing the APM Wikis. 

This group here on DIY Drones has mostly just an organization role; it's a way for people who would like to join the documentation team to register their interest, and to show them the correct steps in getting started.

You need to be a member of diydrones to add comments!

    My camping got delayed until next week so, I finished up my contribution (the limits of my knowledge) for Compiling Mission Planner.  I consider that Wiki now open for tests and modifications by the community.  Thanks for all the help.  On to the next project

    Hi Dennis, noticed that you already added Craigs comments below.

    I tidied up the HTML a bit, added some line separator breaks, got rid of some unnecessary nbsps and fixed a few h2 headers.

    But have changed none of your text.

    Great Job.

    right click on the project > Build > Configuration > Active Debug

    Great Dennis,

    Looks Good, I will give it a try.

    Thank You,

    Gary

    Had some time before our camping so  http://dev.ardupilot.com/wiki/compile-mission-planner/ is in better shape. Still needs work but perhaps some folks could test the process.  Back late next week (26th)

    Hi Dennis, You are published here: http://dev.ardupilot.com/wiki/compile-mission-planner/

    Please edit it there directly as a Wiki page from now on and not your original common version.

    And you are in the developer table of contents.

    I know a lot of editing remains, but the info is solid and the sooner it is available, the better.

    Regards,

    Gary

    Hi Dennis,

    This looks like an excellent start.

    But as Craig says we do need to make it a not "common-" page so it is only accessible from the Developer wiki.

    Programming stuff will all be only in the developer wiki.

    I am going to make a second page of this that is not common- but has the same title and you can continue to edit on that.

    I will not remove the common one yet, and we can temporarily keep it for reference, then you can dump it when you are ready.

    In the meantime, please edit the non-common "Compiling Mission Planner" page which I will also publish and place in the Developer Table of Contents.

    This is a really important and valuable document and it looks like you are off to a great start with it.

    At some point, if you don't mind, I will dig into it to "tidy" it up a bit and verify functionality.

    Thank You very Much!

    Gary

    I think we should just keep the information about compiling and working with the code in the developer's wiki.  I think it will just clutter up the other wikis to add it there as a -common page

  • Dennis Spanogle June 17, 2013 at 2:14pm

    I have a first draft of the structure (and the old details from the forum)  for Compiling Mission Planner.

     

    In the developer's wiki:   common-Compiling Mission Planner - Draft 

    Take a look and let me know if the structure seems OK and any other initial inputs.  

    Gary, an entry in Developer's webpage .dropdown Menu for Mission Planner may be appropriate soon.  and perhaps a link to wiki page (down at the bottom of the webpage that indicates where to get he source code.)  I leave that to you eventually.

     It will be late next week (26th) before I get back to next edits.  Going camping

  • Gary McCray June 14, 2013 at 5:13pm

    Good point, the structure and how to get where are currently tricky.

    This stuff needs to be in the Editors info page as well - which is what I will do next.

    Welcome aboard Dennis.
