This checklist provides documentation authors, staff of the GBIF Secretariat and editorial panel members with a punch list for actions needed to initiate a new project, to share it for public review and to close out the active phase of preparing a 'full' version of any given documentation.
-
❏ Clone doc-template repository and give the new repository a short name, including the prefix 'doc-', that reflects the title of the new documentation project e.g. [doc-effective-nodes-guidance](https://github.com/gbif/doc-effective-nodes-guidance) for the document Establishing an Effective GBIF Participant Node Concepts and general considerations
-
❏ Set up a new Jenkins project
-
❏ Register a new DOI for the documentation through GBIF’s DataCite account, starting with the prefix 'doc-', e.g. https://doi.org/10.15468/doc-z79c-sa53
-
❏ Write, adding documents to the repository as structure dictates
-
❏ Prepare draft document in AsciiDoc format on repository
-
❏ Make registered DOI 'findable' via DataCite
-
❏ Announce dates for public review via GBIF email lists, community forum and social media as appropriate
