8.17 Documentation Master Checklist

Includes all tasks for EE changes and CE changes relating to GitLab Pages. I am still reviewing the remaining CE MRs have documentation and may create more tasks.

Getting started: pick an item and tick off the tasks!

8.17 Release Post

Sean's tip for getting stuff done: Make sure to always leave an issue or MR in a state where we know what the next action is to complete it. This means you may have to ask someone for more information, but while you are waiting for a response and until someone accepts ownership, it is still your responsibility to make sure it gets done!

The only task I marked as complete was this one:

Bug?! @SeanPackham

@SeanPackham should we edit the issue description to add MR links and update the assignment?

@marcia I don't think it is necessary but there may be exceptions. We can just tick things off. e.g write docs, review docs

@SeanPackham not sure I get it I asked that to perhaps make it easier for the 3 of us to understand if someone is already working on something from that list. But I guess we'd just assign the issues to ourselves once we start to work on it, yeah?

@SeanPackham : Are you planning to complete all this for the 8.17 release? In particular I'm interested in the issue board item:

update website solutions page with new feature

Let me know how I can help. Thanks!

@victorwu 90% of the remaining tasks are essential and should be completed including updating the solutions page with the new feature which I will tackle today or Monday. I moved some non-essential documentation tasks to the backlog.

Ok thanks for the update @SeanPackham
