Thread: Searchable 7.3.1 Documentation - now interactive!
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Work is coming along nicely on the new search engine for the PostgreSQL 7.3.1 documentation. I've made many improvements, thanks to the feedback from early testers, and am now ready to try out the "interactive" part of the documentation. Please take a look and try it out. If anyone wants to practice being a "moderator" which lets you approve or deny user-supplied idocs, let me know as well.

Hi Greg, Dave Page has recently been re-vamping the Interactive Docs on the main PostgreSQL website, and it looks like you've been working on the same thing too. Do you reckon it would be worthwhile your combining forces to see if the best-possible-idocs can come out of it? :-) Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift Greg Sabino Mullane wrote: > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > > Work is coming along nicely on the new search engine for the > PostgreSQL 7.3.1 documentation.

Looks like there will be searchable doc's all around then. ;-) > The new documentation code is also designed to work with the site build code and mirror system as you know (though currentlydisabled). Yep, good point. > Whilst I appreciate Greg's efforts, having skived off work for 3 days to write the code, I have no intention of doing itagain. I would suggest that future efforts are made known to the webmaster so we can make sure our efforts are coordinated. Another good point. Greg, your searchable docs are pretty cool, but it also looks like we've been developing the official searchable docs at the same time too. Oh well.

I announced my new version on January 16th to the general list, in a clearly labeled subject line. People have been complaining about the documentation for a long time, and I thought it was time to, as a recent thread put it, "put up or shut up." My goal is to turn our documentation from one of the worst to one of the best. The major shortcoming of the docs has always been the searching, so I focused my efforts there. I also am endeavoring to build something more than just a Google search of the /idocs directory: if we can't do better than that, we may as well just put in a Google search form box. (which has been suggested by others). I'd like to take a look at the new version of the idocs, but they still appear to be down (as well as major parts of the website). - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200301260920 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Comment: http://www.turnstep.com/pgp.html iD8DBQE+M2mNvJuQZxSWSsgRAt27AJ9G9uScmuNXKbojG27isEIQB7F2EQCbBH41 HeBImR3fXTO/pyIqoCobx7w= =JLG+ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Hi Justin, The new idocs are now complete bar one formatting bug to fix in the document storage code. The new search engine will allowdecent boolean queries across all or select parts of the postgresql.org sites - this just needs a little work to getfinished. The new documentation code is also designed to work with the site build code and mirror system as you know (though currentlydisabled). Whilst I appreciate Greg's efforts, having skived off work for 3 days to write the code, I have no intention of doing itagain. I would suggest that future efforts are made known to the webmaster so we can make sure our efforts are coordinated.
