We need developer documentation

[Elpie]

Any devs out there who feel like writing some tutorials about how to write extensions?

The Developer section of the Mambo Manual (http://mambo-manual.org/display/dev/Home) is the most visited part of the wiki. We are getting thousands of views of the documentation that is there, but we need more.

If you can help by writing some developer documentation please contact Arpee and let him know. Documentation does not have to be an ongoing commitment and you do not have to be part of the team in order to contribute.

If you have already written tutorials or how-to's and are happy to contribute them under our creative commons, non-commercial, share-alike license, please send them on over.

Thanks!

I ll stand behind that affirmation. I am just switching from joomla to mambo and really hope we could get some API doc for 4.6 together.

Cheers and wishing u a good development

to bring this back for discussion.

We need to attract more developers to Mambo and to open source. It has been suggested that lack of developer documentation is proving to be a barrier to new developers getting involved.

According to our API, (http://mambo-developer.org/api/) Mambo has:

Files scanned: 1276 Lines scanned: 463006 Classes: 295 class names in 310 definitions and 3330 references Functions/Methods: 2690 function/method names in 3133 definitions and 31952 references Variables: 3555 variable names in 12803 definitions and 76697 references Constants: 550 constant names in 578 definitions and 1986 references

With ongoing development, this is always changing.

Can we hear back from developers please, about what kinds of documentation you would like to see?

We need to know what is needed, and we also need some volunteers to help us create more developer documentation. Any volunteers?
