Improvements in APM wikis and other documentation

Posted by Chris Anderson on August 27, 2015 at 9:30pm

3689664379?profile=originalI'd like to take a moment and call out Hamish Willee and the rest of the documentation team, who every day make scores of improvements to the wikis and other documentation for the APM and other Dronecode project wikis. To give just one example, you may have noticed the new sidebar/menu system, which is clean, clear and works much better on mobile.

On the developer documentation, we're moving to a Sphinx theme, which is easier to maintain and integrates well with the code development process. You can see one such example with the MAVProxy page.

    Thanks Chris!

    Special thanks to:

    • Individual wiki owners Grant Morphett and Randy Mackay for their constant support, advice, and content improvements. They are the reason why the quality continues to improve.
    • The unsung contributors in our Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian and Spanish translation teams.

    I second that. As someone who checks the wiki almost daily, I am very grateful for the continuous improvements and additions. Thanks for the great work.

    Hear, hear, every time I go back to the wiki I find new pages and more detailed explanations. When I help somebody get into apm I always make sure how lucky they are having this fantastic resource.

    Thanks guys

    Agreed, this new website is a huge improvement over the old one. Its not only cleaner, but the navigation throughout the site is very easy. I remember, on the old website, I used to spend quite a bit of time trying to look for something.
