Recently Data Management introduced a new, flexible platform for continuously publishing documentationm, websites, and papers to the web from GitHub repositories. We’ve been using the platform successfully within DM and now want to offer this service to other LSST subsystems and LSST Science Collaborations.
I think it might make sense to use the 2016 PCW as an opportunity to get your projects onto LSST the Docs, and share experiences about documenting and communicating science over the web.
Topics might be:
- Publishing your LSST-related software documentation, web site, or even LaTeX whitepapers with LSST the Docs.
- Sharing experience with Sphinx for documenting our Python science codes.
- Adopting Community.lsst.org to help your Science Collaboration or LSST subsystem reach out to the wider community and communicate internally.
Depending on the level of interest this could be a scheduled ‘unconference hack session’ or something as simple as 1:1 consulting during the workshop.
