<para>Most document style policies are established simply by using the provided documentation framework. However,
|
|
by applying some conventions to the document source structure, community members will be able to work across more d
|
|
ocumentation projects.</para>
|
|
<para>The recommended documentation structure guidelines are as follows:
|
|
<orderedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>The head book file should be named with the prefix "bk_".</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem xml:id="section_template_vrm_policy">
|
|
<para>The document versioning as defined by the <literal><releaseinfo></literal> tag in the main book
|
|
file <literal>bk_xxx</literal> should be named "Revision V.R.M", not "Version V.R.M" or simply "V.R.M" where:</para>
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Significant updates increment the <literal>V</literal> (Version) value while reseting the <literal>R</literal> and
|
|
<literal>M</literal> values to <literal>0</literal>,</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Material, but small, updates increment the <literal>R</literal> (Release) value and reset the <literal>M</literal>
|
|
to <literal>0</literal>, and</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para>Trivial updates (such as typos and grammatical changes) only need to increment the <literal>M</literal> (Modifier)
|
|
value.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
<note><para>Numbering of "pre-release" versions or draft versions of a document may be handled in multiple ways such as
|
|
incrementing the previous modifier level until publication and then updating appropriately, setting the releases to
|
|
the anticipated level and then appending a "_preN" suffix where "N" can be incremented during drafting. Each Work Group
|
|
may set their own policy here.</para></note>

<para>Releases of the same document sound be contained in the same tree, but tagged at levels of interest using

<para>In addition to documentation structure, general community/project guidelines are as follows:

<para>Contributions to the documentation projects should conform to the <citetitle>Developer Certificate
