Meta: Improve sbt 1.0 documentation #3232
Comments
@jvican thanks for this ticket 😍 and the well formed ideas on how to improve SBTs documentation. For 1) I have started a gitbook SBT Getting Started when I was teaching SBT to students. I'll yet have to add it to a git repo so collaboration is possible. Would you be interested to join on this project? |
That is a great initiative @muuki88 😄 Hope you continue it! The Scala Center is not going to get involved into documentation for now (there is an advisory board proposal regarding this here, but the decision to accept it has been put off for three months). If that gets accepted, I'll look into ways of collaborating, your work in that book is great. In the meanwhile, if you decide to help us on any of the aforementioned points, I'm more than happy to help you and review your changes. This is a part where community input is crucial. If this sounds boring, just let me know, I can offer you more interesting tickets 😄. Hope to see you around more often! |
