[TYPO3-doc] Organization for the next steps

[François Suter]

Hi all,

I'll be on holiday for 2 weeks starting this coming Saturday. I wanted 
to recap the situation before I leave.

- work on the official documentation has started on the ReST files. A 
couple of patches have already been committed. Besides that there's a 
lot of work needed renaming images to useful names and changing from 
using the "image" directive to the "figure" directive, as discussed in a 
recent thread. The main impact is that the current inclusion system 
cannot be used anymore and the directives have to be moved back to their 
respective places inside the documents.

- the FLOW3-side of things has also made progress, with Fabien working 
on the automation of the rendering process and myself on the domain 
model. This will continue in the coming weeks and is where the most work 
is needed as soon as possible.

- Philipp Gampe is ready to work on the the Extension Manager 
integration. This is not just about having links pointing to the new 
documentation site, but about migration all manuals from the system 
extensions to ReST format. The EM would gain the ability to view the raw 
ReST files in the TYPO3 BE, in case people don't have an internet 
connection to view the manuals online. Philipp will need help with this 
migration, I'm particularly worried about old manuals, such as 
rtehtmlarea's.  This is all made in agreement with the RM team of TYPO3 
6.0 (I'll post to the Core list right after this mail) and may even come 
after feature freeze, as it's not a functional change. We will still try 
to make it happen as quickly as possible. BTW this should apply to the 
new-new EM, that should make it into 6.0.

I guess that should keep you busy for the next 2 weeks ;-)

If you have questions, don't hesitate to ask, I can still answer until 
tomorrow.

Cheers
