Figure out Work plan



2021-2021 TechDocs Workplan: https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AC/pages/1642791123

2020-2021 TechDocs retrospective: https://archivesspace.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AC/pages/2777841668

  • Outreach:

    • Past efforts to solicit contributions from the community:

      • Post on listserv

      • Presentation at online forum

    • Use survey to get more ideas (Alicia)

  • Jekyll site:

  • API Working Group:

    • Scope of WG changing

    • Need clarity on role of TechDocs role (e.g., create Jira tickets for problematic endpoints?, identify gaps in techdocs re: API and endpoints)

    • Developers interested in more actively managing this documentation (but do not want to create python endpoint examples, as a general rule)
