We welcome all people who are interested in helping our Documentation team to improve our documentation. There are no formal membership requirements, so feel free to hop in. The best way to contibute is to fork our repository, do your changes and send us a Pull Request. You are invited to contribute any type of contribution like new ideas, testing, and even deployment scripts.

We also have an IRC channel at #fuel & #fuel-dev on irc.freenode.net where you can ask questions and give feedback.

Prerequisites

Sphinx Documentation Generator must be installed to build the documentation. Please note that easy_install is a component of Python's Setup Tools package, which is commonly an optional install on most distributions.

To get started, you need to install Sphinx and necessary extensions:

sudo easy_install -U Sphinx
sudo easy_install -U cloud_sptheme
sudo easy_install -U sphinxcontrib-fancybox
sudo easy_install -U rst2pdf
sudo easy_install -U sphinxcontrib-blockdiag
sudo easy_install -U sphinxcontrib-actdiag
sudo easy_install -U sphinxcontrib-seqdiag
sudo easy_install -U sphinxcontrib-nwdiag
sudo easy_install -U sphinxcontrib-plantuml

In addition to these eggs you will need to install PlantUML and ImageMagick.

To install PlantUML you run this wget process:

sudo wget \
http://sourceforge.net/projects/plantuml/files/plantuml.jar/download \
-O /sbin/plantuml.jar

To edit SVG images we use Inkscape but you may use any other SVG-capable tool you like. We're not picky.

Building

To build a guide in HTML format, go to its directory and then run the make command in that directory, like so:

make html

To generate the PDF file run this:

make pdf

You will find generated HTML documentation at:

_build/html

You will find generated PDF documentation at:

_build/pdf
