I've just announced the new version of the developer.gnome.org <http://developer.gnome.org> website:
Hi, sajolida from Tails here. Sorry I'm probably very late to the dance but I now see that the former GNOME Documentation Style Guide disappeared from the new developer.gnome.org: https://developer.gnome.org/gdp-style-guide/ We used it as a reference for our documentation work at Tails: https://tails.boum.org/contribute/how/documentation/guidelines/ Are there any plans to put it back online? Update it? It wasn't updated to GNOME 3 but we still found the content relevant and useful. It was a big source of inspiration for me when I started writing documentation for Tails 10 years ago :) I guess that it could also be useful as a terminology reference for people developing GNOME apps. Good terminology and clear writing is such an important part of UX design and GUIs as well! I couldn't find the previous page on archive.org but I might still have a copy somewhere in a backup, if that helps. Nowadays, Write the Docs has good guidelines for good doc writing in general: https://www.writethedocs.org/guide/ Other good non-free guides and glossaries are also online now, like the Microsoft and Google style guides: https://developers.google.com/style https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/style-guide/welcome/ But I think it would still make sense, and improve the overall UX of GNOME, to have writing resources specific to GNOME. -- sajolida Tails — https://tails.boum.org/ UX · Fundraising · Technical Writing
