CMS-specific documentation on the Wiki

[joanne]

Yea the documentation is out-of-date.
The trouble is that drupal book pages are just such a terrible medium (no TOC, no rich-text editor, hard to track revisions) that I've been reluctant to spend any more time messing with it and was hoping to find a new home for the webform-civicrm docs.
Joanne could you suggest a spot on the civicrm wiki?

It seems reasonable to me to allow documentation about CiviCRM-CMS specific modules/plugins/extensions on our documentation wiki.  We have a section on them in the book after all, but book updates occur only every 6 months and the book is not as easy to work with as the wiki.

We could add it within Administrator's Guide (supplement) on http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=86213659 - that would fit with its position in the book.  However,  I think we would be better off  adding "CMS-specific documentation" one level up so that we have;



        Installation and Upgrades
        Administrator's Guide (supplement)
        Internationalisation (i18n)
        CMS-specific documentation
        Participation
        Glossary

The new item could expand to:

Drupal
     

• Introduction
• Known conflicts with Drupal modules
• Webform CiviCRM Integration
• etc

     
     
Joomla!
     

• Introduction
• Known conflicts with Joomla! extensions
• etc

     
WordPress
     

• Introduction
• Known conflicts with WordPress plugins
• etc

The introductions should make clear the modules/extensions/plugins were housed on the CMS site as was some of the doumentation, but that some people prefer to house their documentation here.

That sounds good to me.

I have set this up.
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CMS-specific+Documentation

I ran out of ideas for the intro and am not sure if the table is the best idea for incompatible add-ons, but it can be changed obviously
