Jennifer Hodgdon joins me this week to talk about Drupal documentation.

Here's what we talked about:

  • What is your involvement with Drupal documentation?
  • What is the current status of Drupal docs?
  • What exactly is wrong, or rather, not as good as it could be, with Drupal’s documentation?
  • Are we talking about api.drupal.org? or the README.txt that comes with every module? What exactly are we talking about when we say Drupal documentation?
  • What do you see as the future for Drupal docs?
  • What kind of work is being done currently in the area of core API docs?

Questions from Twitter

  • Achtun Netherclift (@achton) asked: "How is work going on a curated user manual for Drupal?"
  • Achtun also asked: "What are your thoughts on the competing API sites from Lullabot, DrupalContrib.org etc. What's missing from d.o?"
  • Johan Falk (@Itangalo) asked: “If the genie granted three wishes for d.o docs infrastructure, what would you choose?”
  • Johan also asked: “How do you view the Drupal Q&A site at StackExchange? Competition or help? Community fork or just great?”

I only hear the questions, not the answers (IE8)

I'm not even sure that that would have to do with your browser... it's just an mp3 file. Can you hear everything if you download it and play it locally?

Working ok now (both web and download).
